Cari & Jared are the kind of people you feel like you’ve known forever even when you first meet them!  I have been so excited for their Palm Springs wedding ever since their engagement shoot earlier this year in Laguna Beach. Not only are these two absolutely stinkin’ adorable, but they are head-over-heels crazy about about each other, which just happens to make my job super easy!! Their beautiful wedding was at the Korakia Pensione, which feels like a little slice of the Mediterranean right in the middle of Palm Desert. It was pretty much the perfect day with amazing family and friends, gorgeous Palm Springs sunshine and incredible details! Cari & Jared, you guys are the best!! Thanks for letting me be a part of this special day!!

the first sight!

It doesn't get much better than the way Jared looks at Cari!

And a HUGE thanks to Kristen Daniel Schrock of Mindy Weiss Party Consultants who did an AMAZING job planning & coordinating this incredible day! The gorgeous wedding day signs were provided by Heidi Jimenez of Zenadia Design. She’s a phenomenal artist! I also want to thank Aly Morford of the Vine’s Leaf for doing such an awesome job with the floral arrangements. What a talent!!

I had so much fun with Cari and Jared during their Laguna Beach engagement session!  I’m running out of words to describe my engagement shoots, but I always leave them so full and excited about my clients! It’s such a great way for us to just get to know each other, and for me as an artist to develop that relationship of trust; to be allowed into the most intimate moments of my client’s lives! These two are just beautiful, fun loving and down to earth. I am so super excited for their Palm Springs wedding at the AMAZING Korakia Pensione Hotel. The Korakia Pensione has been named one of the sexiest hotels in America, making it a perfect match for these two!

I WANT THESE LEGS!!

this shot pretty much sums up Jared!

love the eyes!!
