Last Saturday, my sister-in-law, Carrie, married her British sweetheart in San Diego. I had lots of help shooting it, as I was also Maid of Honor and, it turns out, it’s quite hard to shoot in a strapless dress and heels, while holding the bride’s bouquet
My husband, Doug, was the main shooter for the day, and we had the help of Nic of Tamarack Studios, who I am lucky enough to have shoot with me quite often. It was sort of surreal to be working a wedding, where you know all the people there… very strange indeed. But, with the help of Doug and Nic, we got some really lovely images that I know Carrie and Adam will cherish.

Love this shot of Carrie getting ready (courtesy of Nic) -

Since it’s my blog, I get to post a pic of me and the bride! -

Carrie and our Dad, walking her down the aisle -


The bridal party -

After my MOH duties were over, I got to shoot some portraits of the happy couple -


A little TS-E action -

And Nic’s take on the same shot -

I love this shot of Carrie -

My first dance shot -

And Doug’s shot of Carrie dancing with her dad -

To Carrie and Adam: Congrats on your beautiful day! Move home soon ![]()

Great job again Chenin, Doug & Nic! Chenin you look fantastic also! What a beautiful thing to welcome someone in to your family that you obviously get along with so well
Congratulations & all the best.x
It is crazy to be on the other side of the camera!!! I feel like I have nervous system failure when people are trying to shoot me!!! Love the pic of you shooting your little dress!!!
Cute wedding!!!
Hi Chenin! You look so beautiful! I love the flower accent in your hair. I was a MOH and Planner for my friends’ wedding…you are right…strapless dress + working does not equal an easy task! KLG
Hi Chenin….just stunning. It’s so nice to actually SEE you. What a beautiful lady…and the bride ain’t that bad either.
These are beautiful! Chenin, you’re adorable. I have a question–what sort of strap do you have on your 5D? I’ve seen something like that at B&H, but I think it’s for use only with a grip attached and I’m not a grip kind of girl.
Rockin Chenin! You even got Doug back in action.
Nice work! I love your stuff! I read you’re working on a new site…me too! I can’t wait to see it! Have a lovely day!

Fabulous shots! Love them!
