Do you remember that day, back in April, that it poured and poured here in San Diego?  I do, as I am pretty positive that Kirsten and Chris remembered it.  They say it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day, right?  I will tell you that it certainly did not put a damper on Kirsten and Chris’s spirits, the rain did not bother them at all.  Kirsten looked amazingly beautiful today, her dress was stunning and a such a perfect fit on Kirsten, she was an angel.  The ceremony was beautiful and their vows were personal and unique, enough to bring tears to my eyes.  Surrounded by their loving family and fabulous friends, I think Kirsten and Chris will agree that this was a perfect day!! Bill and I are so honored to have been a part of this most important day in your lives.  ~Michelle

At first it was strange calling a dog Dexter. Dexter is the name of my cat and I’m now a firm believer that with that name comes trouble!

We walked throughout the streets of downtown La Jolla, utilizing the various alleys, walls and cool little walkways. I love shooting in the urban environment!

Then we put the dogs away in the car and headed down to the beach and caught a beautiful San Diego sunset! – Bill

Danielle and Andrew’s wedding was our last Studio Z wedding for 2011. They got married the weekend before Thanksgiving at The Admiral Kidd Club in Point Loma. It was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony, with the stunning San Diego Skyline as their backdrop, but the weather did not want to cooperate with us and it started to rain; I mean it poured. That being said, the ceremony ended up being in the reception room at The Admiral Kidd CLub, which turned out to be amazing. The city skyline lit up brightly and the raindrops hitting the window, made for an even better backdrop. The best part is we did all of the photos before the ceremony and literally made it inside in the nick of time before the rain started. We were able to capture so much and we were all very happy. Everything turned out beautifully. Danielle and Andrew we enjoyed working with the two of you and we wish you all the best in your new adventure together. ~Michelle

I have been photographing for my friend’s clothing company for a few months now and things are moving quickly; actually, they are blowing up!

I love photographing for a product that I really believe in. Not only the meaning behind the clothing, but the quality and the entire design process that goes into each idea True Honor creates.

There will be a lot more to come from True Honor, but here’s a quick glimpse of what we’ve been working on. We have been in the studio photographing product, models and a ton of lifestyle imagery as well.

Studio Z is proud to be apart of the True Honor team!

Also, be sure to check out their newly launched website and read the story behind the True Honor Brand! www.TrueHonor.com. – Bill

Palm trees, a fall desert day, blue skies, equals, Kandee and Steve’s wedding day in Palm Springs.  They got married at a private home in Palm Springs, an exquisite, perfect spot for a small and quaint wedding.  Kandee, looked stunning in her gorgeous gown and her beautiful smile.  Kandee, being a professional photographer herself, did not miss a beat in the planning of her wedding day, tiny details and all.  I am not going to lie, it was a bit nerve wracking photographing another photographers wedding.  But, everything went better than expected and a little birdie already told us that Kandee & Steve love their photos.

Kandee and Steve are so adorable together, I adored the way they make one another laugh.  The look in their eyes when they talk and share their moment; it’s as if they are in their own little world. Kandee and Steve, Bill and I truly enjoyed capturing your day, through our vision and our passion.  Thank you for entrusting with us on this most intimate day in your lives.  ~Michelle

Morgan and Travis got married on a gorgeous fall afternoon, in Santa Monica at the ever so stunning and unique St. Monica Catholic Church.  The architecture was amazing and a perfect place for this perfect match to become one.  Morgan glowed as she walked down the aisle, with her dad by side to her future, a natural beauty.  I still remember, vividly, the look in Travis’s eyes and the tears falling down his cheeks as he watched his bride walk down the aisle.  The reception was at Loews Santa Monica, another perfect fit for Morgan and Travis’s celebration.  The toasts had the whole room laughing and in tears, including, myself.  Amazing family and friends.  The best part was the dancing, everyone was dancing, I LOVE it, when their isn’t one person sitting.  :)  Morgan and Travis, what an amazing day!!  Bill and I are honored to have been able to capture it.  CONGRATULATIONS!! ~Michelle

Having the beautiful San Diego skyline as your backdrop, as you say your vows and the perfect blue sky, I do not think it can get any better than that.
