Last weekend, the big day finally came for my Uncle Paul and his bride, Nadine. We had a blast shooting their wedding at The Grand Tradition in Fallbrook, where the weather was in the mid-80s — perfect for an afternoon of shooting. As usual, the photobooth was a blast, and we have to thank their guests for being such a fun group to shoot!
First up, my nephew, the ring-bearer.

He flexes:




And……… the flower girl. (Love this sequence, after we gave her a handful of petals.)
“Should I do it?”

“I’m gonna do it…”



There were a lot of my nephews running around.

Stay tuned for some amazing images from their day. We love you, Uncle Paul and Aunt Nadine!!!

The youngest of my dad’s brothers is getting married in July, and we were so honored when Uncle Paul and his fiancee, Nadine, asked if we would be their photographers. Our family–both sides–has been blessed with an incredible array of aunts, uncles, grandparents, brothers, sisters–and now nieces and nephews. What a special thing it is to be part of their lives, and to document their milestones as they happen. We’ll have tons of great pictures from Paul and Nadine’s day later this summer, but for now, here is a sampling of their engagement session last month at The Grand Tradition.









We’re especially looking forward to their Hawaiian theme. A few years ago, The Grand Tradition added a second wedding site called “Arbor Terrace,” and the lush landscaping goes so well with tropical shirts and the rest. :) :)

A couple of months ago, we had the privilege of shooting a wedding with Nick over at The Image Group, and what a beautiful wedding it was. Chris and Shari are amazing together, and despite a rain delay and having to move the ceremony inside, everyone was upbeat and smiling the entire time.

Jeremiah and Shannon done got hitched two weeks ago, and what a wedding! They had tons of crazy guests at the reception, and we came home with some appropriately crazy poses. Our favorites:



Wow. Just, wow:

The booth was set up right next to the food, so we got quite a bit of traffic at dinnertime.

We had never met Kyle or Tessa until the day when we got together at Seaport Village to shoot their engagement pictures. So we had no idea how tall they were. Or how cool. He’s 6′10″, and they’re both off the charts for knowing how to chillax and look great for the camera. (Revision: Seems I exaggerated a bit–Kyle, I’ve been informed, is “only” 6′8″.) The only bad thing about this couple is that they’re getting married in South Dakota later this year. (Obviously not bad for them, and more like sad for us, since we can’t do their wedding.)
You can probably tell from the length of this post that we spent more time than usual with K&T. Again, that’s because they were so much fun to be with, and every pose was a WIN for Brooktown Photography.
Thanks so much, guys! You are going to have tall kids someday!!!







When Tessa called us to arrange where to meet, she said, “Do you know where the popcorn stand is?”












Seaport is hands down one of the best places in San Diego to watch the sunset. Most days it looks like it’s lowering itself onto the deck of one of the aircraft carriers moored across the bay.

A couple months ago, a good friend called up to ask if we’d shoot his sister’s wedding and engagement photos. It’s always flattering when that happens, and we of course agreed immediately.
Cyrus and Diane are awesome together. We already shot their wedding last week, and it’ll be a few weeks before we get those photos edited and up on the blog. In the meantime, here are a few of the best from their engagement session in downtown San Elijo.

Back in November, Tom’s mother asked if we would do the annual honor of photographing the Pfingsten/Rosas families. This would be a particularly special session, the first time since mom and dad moved into their new house that we’ve gathered for pictures. So we chose a spot in their new neighborhood, Shady Grove, and commenced with the shooting. We even got a few good pictures of us–thanks Annie!
We start with Tom’s three nephews, who have had plenty of time in front of the camera over the years…

A couple weeks ago, Brittnee called us to ask if we still had time for a quick pre-Christmas session, and quick was all we had time for–we were leaving for the Philippines in a matter of days. But we set a time, the rain let up long enough for the sun to shine on us for an hour, and we captured some really cute moments between Jon, Brittnee and their daughter.
I’ve known about Los Jilgueros Preserve in Fallbrook for many years. It’s always been a nice place for a quiet walk, but this was the first time we’d done pictures there. Jon and Brittnee actually chose the location, and we’re so glad they did! We’ll definitely be going back for more!

A few weeks ago, Kimm asked if we could do a family session at their house in Valley Center. After agreeing and setting a date, I asked, “How many kids do you have?” The answer: Four.
Four sweet, amazing children–who apparently really enjoy smiling. Or maybe we just caught them on a good day. Either way, if the sun hadn’t gone down I could have gone on taking pictures of these kids for a long, long time. As you can see, the setting was great, too. The horse is theirs (our first family + equine shoot), as are the corrals, trees, and various settings you see in the pictures.
Crandall family, thanks for having us. We had a blast!!!



Aaaaand, the horse. In search of alfalfa. Not even vaguely interested in anything else but hay.
