"...wedding day 10 | 10 | 09"

It has been 3 months ago when Kerry decided to pursue her dream wedding. Not being able to afford the cost of such, she decided to barter for services... via Craigslist. Little did she knew, that a simple ad would bring her dreams to reality.This night was filled with so much love; from Kurt, Kerry, and their families... to vendors and guest alike. We came there as strangers to most, albeit we were the official photographers for the event. However that was not the case; it felt like we have know most of them... and there was something in the air that brought everyone there; the act of giving.To Kurt and Kerry... we thank you for being part of your special day. Continue to be an inspiration to everyone. God Bless.

"4 days to go..."

4 days to go!!! It is just befitting that I blog our first a story that is heart-warming and inspiring. It is no accident that I stumbled on Kerry's Craigslist ad on July 8,2009 at 8:20 am. At the height of a busy Wednesday morning at my full time job, I decided to hit Craigslist for a few minutes (which has been part of my daily routine) just to check for great buying opportunities on photography "toys". Bannering the title "My Wedding Dream, help me with parts of...?", it caught my fancy... Click... Reply... Send Message. At 9:27 am (same day), Kerry replied to my email and Red Glass Photography was on board.

We were fortunate to meet Kurt and Kerry including their 4 kids - Ryan (15), Sebastiana (10), Tristan (6), and Carter (3) for a day of engagement/family photo session. Balboa Peninsula was our location for the following reasons: Kurt & Kerry met at NB/Lido Island (not that far from Balboa), on every pregnancy they would walk around Balboa, Kurt loves to fish and Kerry... well she gets seasick, and when I asked Kerry what reminds her of Love her answer was the BEACH. From the get go, you know this couple loves to be around people... no ice breakers needed, it was like we have known one another for ages. As for the kids... they were plain kids at play; entertaining and funny! They were just rays of sunshine on a hot sunny Sunday afternoon.

Asked the kids "If Dad and Mom were SuperHeroes, who would they be?"

Kurt - Super Fisherman because he catches all the big fish and lets them go (Sebastiana), Superdad because he is awesome (Tristan), Rockamon "because I picked that" according to Carter.

Kerry - Frost because she is shinny and pretty (Sebastiana), Bug Woman because she loves bugs and nature (Tristan), and "blank stare" from Carter.

And if Dad and Mom were cartoon characters - Kurt would be Popeye or Knuckles from The Misadventures of Flapjack, and Kerry would be Spongebob :)
