{april and jason}

On July 19th 2008, April and Jason Bellemy were married in Ramona, California with a beautiful reception at the Rancho Bernardo Courtyard. The RB Courtyard was a new place for me to shoot a reception and I was so impressed! The lighting and flowers and were gorgeous and the courtyard was so romantic and private! On the way from the ceremony to the reception, we got a chance to stop and shoot in some of the beautiful open spaces in Ramona. I think open countryside is one of my favorite places to shoot and I had so much fun working with April and Jason! The whole event was so well put together by Marjeri Smith of Events by Design and the team she assembled!

There’s something so powerful about a woman in this season—soft and strong all at once. 🌊🤍

There’s something so tender about watching two people become parents for the very first time.
The way they look at their baby with quiet awe. The careful hands. The nervous laughter.
The kind of love that feels brand new but also like it’s been there forever.
These early days go by in a blur of feedings and swaddles, but this—this connection—is worth remembering.
In the calm of the studio, we slow everything down.
We make space for the stillness, the wonder, the quiet magic of your new beginning.

Because no matter how tall they get or how far they roam, they’ll always be her babies… even if they now roll their eyes when it`s photo time. 😂.
