Wedding
Shade Hotel + Veranda’s in Manhatten Beach, CA

A couple of weeks ago I was able to shoot a wedding with the fabulous Natalie Moser. I had recently met Natalie, and her husband Matt, at a get together. They were so cool! So I was excited!

The getting ready was at a cool little boutique hotel called Shade. Then the wedding ceremony and reception was at Veranda’s in Manhatten Beach, CA. It was a great time and I got to know some really great people.

8 Levels of Narcissism-Angie’s Turn

08.27.2007 | News | 28 comments

Ok so Sandie and Chris tagged me so here are 8 things you probably don’t know about me.

1. My mom used to get really nervous when I would try new things. She would say ” Bo you are to adventurous” So I would get injured alot when I was a kid. I broke my nose twice. I broke all of my toes. I have had a million sprained ankles. I’ve had stiches twice. I have lots of little scars. One from when I was riding a bike and I was going down a huge hill and lost control and ran into a bobbed wire fence. The other I was doing backflips on my parents bed and accidently hit the glass light overhead and it shattered and sliced my feet all over the place.

2. I went to Tuesday Trilogy which if you don’t know was a day where they played all extended versions of Lord of the Rings in a row at the MOVIE THEATER!!! It goes on the top 5 best days of my life. I was depressed for quite some time after the LOTR Return of the King came out in the theaters, because I came to the realization the trilogy has ended. I dream all the time that I was in that movie. I also like to think I’m couragous like Aragorn is. (I know I am a NERD!)

3. I love DOGS sooooooooo Much! I also Like Sloth’s. Matt call’s me a Sloth, because I like to Eat and Sleep. That is all Sloth’s do!

4. I love Roller Coasters. I went on the Tallest and Fastest Coaster in the World (At the time) Top Thrill Dragster! When we got to the Top, we didn’t make it and our coaster rolled all the way back down to the beginning. You can check it out on the “Cedar Point” Website. It is CRAZY!!!

5. I love Disneyland. It always makes me sooooo excited to be there and I love the smell of Pirates of the Caribbean.

6. My favorite thing in the Whole Wide World is being a parent.

7. I went on a date once and at the end of the night. My date said ” I have never seen a girl eat soooooo much food before”. It is true I eat alot, because I love food!

8. I love playing in the rain. When we were younger. My mom would always run out in the rain and we would all wash our hair and then put soap on the trampoline and Jump and the bubbles would get soooooo high!

Anonymous: I LOVE roller coasters! Like obsessively love them. Too bad there aren't any good ones out here. And the story about your date had me cracking up! (27/08/07, 05:28)

Anonymous: You're such a CRACK up! :) #1, can only imagine after seeing you on the dance floor. And you love the smell of the Pirates of the Caribbean?! wierdo! ;) I THINK #6 IS THE BEST...the joys of parenthood! :) Oh and Matt needs to come up with a MUCH BETTER name for you, what about, "your majesty the queen". :) (27/08/07, 10:23)

Anonymous: omg Angie.. I think you could be my new best fiend. First of all because of the Disneyland thing. I LOVE THE SMELLS OF THE DISNEYLAND RIDES! I wish they would make candles sented like each one. I was working a christmas job once where i worked with big-rigs and the smell of the damp dark wooden trailers smells like POTC! Also your # 6 is the best thing in the world! Just wait till Maddox has a little sibling one day. Talk about love! Um if i wern't a mom I would sleep all day long and stay up all night and of course while i was up I would be eating... (um let me in on your secret skinny dance or what ever you do to stay fit.) Lord of The Rings... i never read the books but when the first movie came out, i was so mad at the ending i swear it was cut off wrong and we were missing the rest. Who ends a movie just walking off into the distance? But i became a total fan and I have to watch it every chance i get. I will even just play it while i am cleaning the house or working ... doesnt matter wich one! ANd Finally everyone tells me I am in the wrong state cause I'm in my best mood when its cold and rainy! SO, you arent weird and niether am I .. It must be everyone else! YOU ROCK FOR THINKING OF SUCH HILARIOUS LEVELS OF NARCISSISM! (27/08/07, 10:56)

Anonymous: Ang! YOU DA QUEEN! I love your list! I totally have Lord of the Rings fever too. We watch them all of the time. Then we watch "How we made the Movies"-movies! Love ya Ang! (28/08/07, 06:51)

Anonymous: I love that smell too!! So funny! Thanks for sharing. (28/08/07, 01:25)

Anonymous: What's a "bobbed wire fence"? :) When I was little and it rained my sister and I would put our bathing suits on and dance in the driveway :). (28/08/07, 08:58)

Anonymous: Ang I remember when you broke the fan lights while doing a flip. I was the one watching you. That was a killer. I love the smell of pirates it is the best smell.you know I love food too! You were always accident prone, I would always say that growing up. Remember the sign that fell on you in cheer? I have never seen a more horrible gash in my life. Glad it healed! You rock! Bff! (28/08/07, 09:42)

Anonymous: I am soooo jealous that you got to go to Trilogy Tuesday! I wanted to go so bad, but I had finals that day =/ Other than that though, I can completely relate to everything you said about LotR, so don't worry, we can both be nerds! (28/08/07, 10:06)

Anonymous: I love you Ang, you can always make me laugh. I am sure one of the reasons we are such good friends is our love of Food! Sauce anyone. (29/08/07, 08:56)

Anonymous: i love ya sweetie! trust me i don't think you are a sloth! (29/08/07, 12:09)

Anonymous: That is hillarious!! But i think i am just as bad as you in your # 1, i remember all those!!! AND disneyland smell is my favorite smell in the whole world!!! Well and food is good!!! (29/08/07, 03:14)

Anonymous: I loved reading this. It is not often enough you use this as an actual BLOG, so I am adding you & Jenna to my list to check out more! I hope everything is going well. It looks like it is. I hear you are moving closer. YAHOO! I can babysit sometimes, I know Jenna lives even further now. Call me whenever. I use to think it was just me about "the smells of Pirates, Small World, etc. at Disneyland"... I guess I am not alone!! What a good thought. ONE more thing, when you get hurt, do you show it... you are always SO happy. Always have been. (04/09/07, 11:38)

Anonymous: Angie...I loved reading these things about you. Don't you wish that your life was recorded so you could sit back and watch?? I am sure there were some funny times! (08/09/07, 01:08)

Anonymous: I just have to comment because my favorite smell in the world is being in line at splash mountain! Disneyland is the best!!!! (10/09/07, 04:41)

Engagement Session
Payson, AZ

It’s been really crazy weather in AZ these last couple of weeks! It’s one of the better times I have seen the monsoons. But it’s still too hot to really do anything but swim.

So for Megan and Mike’s Engagement Session, I decided to get out of town and go north! Where the skies are blue, trees are green, and it’s not so hot! And we had a blast!!! We shot at a cool location just north of Payson where the Verde River is running. It was perfect light!
