invite.jpgjen.jpgbridesmaids.jpgdan.jpggroomsmenr.jpgrings.jpgbg_3.jpgbg_2.jpgbridegroom.jpgbg_4.jpgJennifer and Daniel were married on December 22, 2007 at The First Assembly of God in San Diego and the reception was at The La Jolla Women’s Club.  Dan & Jen’s ceremony was really touching and passionate today.  The church was beautiful and so much fun to photograph(Vibrant & Beautiful colors)  After the family formals at the church we went down to Prospect Avenue to shoot the rest of the formals.  I literally had 20 minutes left of light to shoot the bridesmaids, Jen(the bride) , the bridal party and  Jen & Dan before I lost all of the light…..but I pulled it off with flying colors.  Congrats!
