hannah and cadman put mo fun in the MOPA

rather than sitting in line for New Moon i decided to do something that wouldn't suck my will to live, like post some shots of hannah and cadman's wedding in san diego. if you missed their engagement session at USC you can get up to speed by clicking here.
i have to say that hannah and cadman make us smile every time we see or think of them. they pack more fun than a weekend in las vegas. after seeing these shots you'll know what i mean. it's easy to see how much they love life and each other.
the day began and ended at the pearl hotel in san diego. hannah and cadman had the whole place to themselves, their friends, and their family.

the laughs were flying before we even got there.

i love hannah's smile here. this is what true love looks like. isn't she gorgeous? that was a rhetorical question.

hannah was servin up more than just laughs at the beauty bar.

this table is amazing. just look into it and you'll see absolutely beautiful girls.

hannah and cadman had a sweet traditional wedding ceremony at our lady of mt carmel in san diego. they both looked amazing.

this is why we love them so much. hannah and cadman had us laughing the whole day.

cadman and the boys were looking sharp.

why am i hearing fergie all of a sudden? :)

hannah and cadman had their reception at the san diego museum of photographic arts or MOPA. it was so cool being able to see amazing photos while taking photos of an amazing party. if you haven't been to the MOPA you should go check it out. you will be inspired.

i LOVE this shot kim took. so cute!

you are now looking at the most delicious cupcakes on the planet. hannah and cadman treated everyone to cupcakes from the frosted cupcakery. soooo good.

their wedding slideshow was awesome with a big A

time to get loose. who's next?
yes, this is a perfect indication of how fun the whole day was. thank you so much hannah and cadman for bringing us along for the ride. we love you guys!

since cadman is a big fan of photos like we are, we thought we'd do the ring shots with a little old school film noir theme.

kickin the can in coronado

i was wrong.
huh, i guess i can say it. :)
for years now i've been walking around thinking my family had the coolest names on the planet.
along comes sylvia's family and... boom goes the dynamite :)
sylvia and her husband david brought their two awesome boys, diego and joaquin, out for a full tilt fun family portrait session on coronado island.
it was a good thing we brought our smiles. we were gonna need 'em.

this is the only known photograph of david, sylvia, diego, and joaquin's fun being contained. shortly after this photo was taken the cage turned to butterflies and their fun was unleashed on coronado.

how far we goin back? way back.
back to when there was no such thing as a playstation 3, xbox 360, wii, psp, gameboy, sega, atari, or pong.
back to when all kids had for fun was an empty alley and a game of kick the can.
diego and joaquin are bringin it back.

mmmm, burger lounge.

one way... the fun way :)

here we have two families. let's call them family A and family B.
today's experiment is to see which family is more fun.
family A, on the left, wasn't much fun at all. they had to be vapoorized.
family B is SUPER FUN! yay family B!
thank you david, sylvia, diego, and joaquin for making us smile every time we look at you :)
