My Life | Pack your bags! Let's go!

Friday, December 19, 2008

This has been SUCH a long time coming! Pack your bags and follow me to my new blog location! www.rizzarizblog.com

I'm SO excited and thrilled to have this new tool! It'll definitely allow for bigger pictures, more comment and archiving features including a snazzy contact page. I've already included some new announcements and what is in store for 2009. 2008 has been such a year of discovery, life changes, making some pretty hefty decisions, following my passion, pursuing my art and throwing some good juju back into the universe. A huge thank you to the people who have helped me in this phase of my career as I embark into another one! I tell you, this new blog is just the beginning!

So come by and see me at my new home here on cyberspace! Feel free to leave a comment as well, another cool feature on my blog! Can't wait to hear from you! Rr.



Weddings | Kristin + Danny

Monday, November 10, 2008

Officially my last wedding of 2008! I can't believe another year has come and gone and what a year it has been (taking in both the good and the bad)! I second shot for Erica Berger of Erica Berger Family & Wedding Photography this weekend. Having done so I was fortunate enough to meet a really awesome couple, Kristin + Danny. Danny owns a surfer charter company (I have yet to figure out what that is) and to go with their cool and casual lifestyle, the couple decided on a tropical-themed wedding.

The ceremony took place at Fort Mason Chapel in San Francisco, followed by a FANTASTIC reception at the Firehouse at Fort Mason (detail shots of the reception forthcoming). For now, a few of my favorite shots!

When I get married, I am SO rockin' a pair of red patent leather shoes...and yes, they will STILL be in style....

Kristin was smart to chose this dress. Very classy.

Kristin looking like a Hollywood starlet...

The couple opted to be as 'non-traditional' as possible. That meant no bridal party, small number of guests, and getting ready together before their big debut.



My favorite out of the entire series....

A funny family portrait.



The other favorite. So Hollywood!

Engagement Session | KT + Andrew

They met through work in Tonga a few years ago and since having met have traveled the world and back together. They have shared many a good time in their journey from camel back excursions on a hot, dry desert, to parasites and food poisoning (hey - whoever said romance was all flowers and chocolate?) A striking couple indeed, but that takes a backseat to the way they compliment each other, not just in looks, but in a way you can't really explain and a way you can't help but notice and want for yourself.

I listened to their story over delicious Burmese last night. They met the first night Andrew set foot on the island but only in passing though. Months later the two became good friends and the rest became history on a gorgeous New Year's Eve on an exotic locale. *dramatic sigh*

Though I'm not photographing their wedding, I will say the lucky dog that is will have such a blast with these two!

Yesterday I headed to Crissy Field to join Andrew + KT for a good time! Below a few of my favorites from our shoot.

KT and Andrew have grown into their flip-flops. Here, we surgically remove them for a couple shots.

What a cute pair of tootsies!


My F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E shot of all! This tells me, "now there's a couple who likes to have fun!"

KT and Andrew chat amongst themselves.



Now, before you go judging about how silly they look, remember this: running and jumping in the sand is NOT an easy task!

Mom, dad, friends and family....save the date!

Weddings | Rick + Nora

Saturday, October 25, 2008

A few pics from Rick + Nora's wedding with (you guessed it) Jen Hosler of Candid Moments Weddings. Another wedding this year. Have to admit, I've been blessed being able to shoot as much as I have this year. Thanks Jen! Way fun as always! Rr.











Weddings | Jason + Mayra

Monday, October 20, 2008

Some of my faves from Jason + Mayra's wedding, both of which have spent over a decade together and will continue to share an entire lifetime together! To Jason + Mayra: it was an absolute pleasure working with the both of you. It's amazing to see how this has all transformed and how it all worked out perfectly! I can already tell you both have an exciting and happy future in store! You were both fantastic! My best, Rr.

The maid of honor joked that day at how Mayra looked like a Bollywood Starlet! I think she is absolutely stunning!





Mayra's older brother walks her down the aisle. A tender moment for Mayra's family.

Jason staring intently at his wife as she exchanges her vows.

The couple now husband and wife!

This post has been a loooong time coming. I'm so glad that I FINALLY have this Saturday off to catch up on a few things, this post included. I shot this wedding with my pal Jen Hosler of Candid Moments Weddings out at Palmdale Estates last month. Marnie + Ben were very pleasant and laid back - this wedding could not have been more enjoyable!

Check it!

Marnie is ever-so-radiant!

Loved the details of the flower girl's dress!

The man who loved her first....
