Had the fantastic honor to photograph the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women event at the Hotel Del Coronado. This was my second year in a row photographing the event and I had such a great time.

Heart disease is something that I’m close to, as my dad had 5 or 6 stents put in a few years back (he’s great now!) and my father-in-law is a cardiologist. But the Go Red event is all about raising awareness about heart disease in women, which is the number one killer of women. Yet, few people realize this, as over the last decade or so breast cancer has gotten most of the media attention.

Anyway, the San Diego AHA puts on a great event and I’m just thrilled to be a part of it. Here are some highlights.

Spent a beautiful Friday afternoon in La Jolla with Michelle and Jeremy. I was so excited to shoot them because, aside from being very photogenic and animated, they were really open to ideas and even wanted to grab a drink early on in the session!

We started at Mary Star of the Sea church, which is where their ceremony is taking place. Then we moved on to some nooks and crannies behind the church, and then on to Karl Strauss for some drinks (yours truly had a Diet Coke). Then we meandered down to the cove and walked along the beach, stopping at every cool thing we could see.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.
