Wedding Vow Renewal in Valley Center

Time is the ultimate test of truth. For 25 and 30 years of marriage these two amazing couples have shown what true love is.

I was honored to get to capture them renew their wedding vows in my hometown of Valley Center. The ceremony took place adjacent to my old high school at Saint Stevens Catholic Church. As you can the inside of it is absolutely gorgeous.

After the ceremony and some family photos we were of to the shrimp boil to celebrate. Yeah, these shrimp were almost the size of small lobsters and they were delicious. Ill have to get Jim's recipe somehow because they were amazing! As the night grew on the photos became more and more comical. In the end the best part was getting to reminisce with old friends, talking about little league home runs and high school football... good times, good times indeed!Heres a link to view the slideshow of all of the photos from the event: http://anibaldi.zenfolio.com/crawshaw/slideshow#h25cfdd5f.

Jen+Derek's Palm Springs Wedding

I had a great time shooting Jenn and Derek's Wedding this weekend in Palm Springs. The Mission Hills Golf Resort was a perfect venue for sharing their special day with some of their friends and family. The day was filled with anticipation and excitement, and it was a pleasure capturing it. From the moment I got there Jen and Derek treated me like family (thanks guys)!

Here are a couple of my favorite wedding photographs from the day.
With photos from two shooters Ive got a lot of photo editing ahead of me. But I really want to thank Talia my 2nd shooter for all of her help. Her photographic intuition was spot on and she was great at anticipating and being ready for the next shot. Thanks Talia!
