Jessica planned her wedding with one person in mind … Brian. She said her main priority was for him to feel comfortable and have a good time! Something tells me that Jessica is going to make a VERY GOOD wife (= Her advice to others who are planning a wedding? “Things are going to go wrong. No matter how hard you try…Just let it go and have fun anyway. I did. It worked like a charm. Best night of my life.” One more reason to love Jessica? Her DEBUT NOVEL is coming out this February! It’s called Opression and it’s the first in the series: Children of the Gods. If you liked Twilight , then you’re gonna love Jessica’s work. Check out her blog at http://jessica-therrien.blogspot.com. This girl is definitely one to watch!

Christina and Walt have a wonderful wedding planned… they’re getting married at an old Dance Hall in Walt’s home town in Monterey. Walt attended Boy Scout meetings in this hall when he was just a tyke…so much history there. I’m REALLY excited for their event. For their engagement photos we spent the day shooting in and around their home in South San Francisco. These two have a storybook life. (= Congratulations Christina and Walt….you found each other!!!
