Kirkemo's -The Kiss

For those of you who don't know, I earned my degree in Art. I may be a photographer by trade, but it's the art that I love creating. It's also fun and rewarding to see the familiarity of an iconic piece in my images. Chances are, you didn't need to study art history to recognize the famous image, The Kiss, by Gustav Klimt. And I think it's clear by looking at these side to side, why I thought of this painting when taking this image. There may be 100 year between these images, but the passion is equivalent.

Old Town Wedding for Leila & Enrique

We ended the year with a breathtaking wedding in Old Town San Diego, and it was a great treat. Leila & Enrique exchanged vows at The Catholic Church Of The Immaculate Conception. The church and the area around it made for some very vivid and rich images. Donna and I couldn't have imagined Leila and Enrique looking more in love with each other after photographing their engagement session, but somehow they both managed to glow with love even more on their wedding day.

Their reception was held at the San Diego Courtyard by Marriott, right there within Old Town. The venue is lovely on it's own, with an ideal indoor/outdoor reception facilities and yummy food (Mmmm). But it was the above-and-beyond service to the couple and their guests that really stood out. Hats off to the Catering Sales Manager, Desiree Weyls, and her team.
