Eric & Brenda's Vintage Inspired shoot by Raquel Ames Photography!

Today I have the privilege of featuring Eric and Brenda's vintage inspired engagement session! Photos are brought to us by San Diego and Southern California based lifestyle photographer Raquel Ames.
The couple was shot on an exclusive North San Diego County Mountain countryside location that naturally captures Raquel Ames' amazing talents....and how gorgeous this couple is! They worked together to collaborate on prop and styling ideas and they delivered beautifully. There is no filter more gorgeous than a yawning sun. Excited to share their nuptials as well later this year. If you are interested in a wedding, lifestyle shoot or session quote you can contact Raquel at reaphotography@rocketmail.com for a quote or package pricing to capture your special day and moments! Her website link is also located first on our Link Lovin section. Can't wait to share more of this couples love! Congratulations to Eric and Brenda!

1.5

So I know 1 1/2 anniversary doesn't really count. But I thought I'd post considering a year and a half ago today at this time, I had just finished my wedding ceremony and was taking portrait photos with my amazing photographer Leila Brewster.
My husband is sleeping beside me right now. I'm prepping myself for spinal surgery this summer and I just took a spill and busted my knee right as he was on his way out the door to have an awesome day skating with the guys on a rare weekday off for him. After I cried for 45 minutes (while begging him to go have fun, I'm fine as my makeup is literally dripping all over me)
He rubs my back, waits for me to calm down then helps prob up my pillows for my back and tapes my knee up as only a skater would know how and iced it even though it made me scream. He stayed home with me and ordered me my favorite pizza. I'm such a dud. But I married a stud....mostly. Happy 1.5 honey. Even though you snore now.
And happy birthday to my little sis. You crazy bubs.
