I am just so excited to be going to the OC to spend a day with Jessica Claire. If you are not sure who she is, just Google her. She is an AMAZING wedding photographer from California. She has decided to put on her very first wedding workshop! And I get to go!. I am so excited to be able to learn from a female photographer that I LOVE!

I cannot believe I get to hang out with her, and 19 new photographer friends for the day! Wow! Amazing.

I haven’t been on an airplane or on a trip away since my own wedding in May 1998.

If you need a wedding photographer for this year, or for 2010. Please send me an email. I would love to capture your special day for you!
