Lovely Wedding

I celebrated my 25th birthday on August 8th by working with the most amazing photographer, Zoe (www.photographybyzoe.com). She was in desperate need for an assistant photographer for a few weddings that she has coming up. Of course, I jumped at the chance to work the woman who inspired me to get into photography (she photographed a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid in 2005, my wedding in 2006, a friend's wedding in 2007, and my brother's wedding in 2008). She is so good at what she does and I feel so blessed to be able to watch and learn from her. She has taken me under her wing and has already begun to teach me all the tricks of the trade. I am looking forward to the experience that I gain from working with her. I know I still have a LOT to learn, but I am thankful for the chance to learn from the best. Here are a few shots that I took during the day. The ceremony was at San Luis Rey Mission in Oceanside and the reception was at Leo Carillo Ranch in Carlsbad (BEAUTIFUL!). Again, I was just the assistant for this one, but I had so much fun (after getting over the nerves, of course!).
