2009 was an amazing year for me as I was able to explore my long held dream of photography. Before I was quite ready to handle it I had more clients than I could count! How wonderful to finally explore my dream.
I counted and realized I shot over 14 weddings and too many sessions to count. I have grown as a photographer and person and am grateful for the experience.
As amazing as the experience has been it has been effecting the amount of time I have to spend with my family, especially my son. I can either have photography or I can have a life.
So with a happy heart I have closed Elmwood Court Photography and am spending time with my family.
Thank you to all my clients for an amazing year and for letting me be a part of your special moments.
Although I may still be posting sessions they are only for my family and friends and I thank you for your interest but I am no longer accepting clients with no exceptions.
Thank you again,
Amy

For Better or Better...

Maybe I've seen too many movies but when I heard it was going to be a courthouse wedding I guess I was expecting something cold, and even a little sterile. Well the wedding of Minnie and Ben was anything but cold and sterile . It turned out to be one of the of the warmest, heartfelt, funnest weddings I've ever been too.

Minnie's laugh and joy were infectious and when she changed the vows from "for better or worse" to "for better or better" I got a little girl crush.

The ceremony was held at the Laguna Hills Civic center which turned out to be a surprisingly beautiful location for a wedding.

The beautiful bride Minnie

and the handsome groom Ben
Getting all the paperwork done...
We crammed about 50 people in a room meant for 1o. Far from being a negative it made the ceremony even more fun and intimate. I just love this group shot.



The first kiss...
Minnie's reaction to their first kiss...
and Ben's

as you can see I didn't have the only camera there...


some location shots of the Laguna Civic Center...


We had time for a quick trip to the beach for a few shots. Poor Minnie froze but looking at these shots it was worth a few goose bumps.




Reception details
and cutting the cake Minnie and Ben style

OK I could keep going on and on with photos there are so many great one's to choose from but I'm going to make myself stop here and go play with my son.

Congratulations Minnie and Ben and thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding.
