March 31st, 2011: Felicia and I met first Anaid and Justin a year ago when we shot their springtime engagement session. Annie had kept us updated about her wedding plans, visions and ideas, and we were definitely excited about being part of their big day with their closest friends & family, on the ranch where Justin [...]
March 29th, 2011: For the last two weeks we have essentially been shooting nonstop. Across California and Nevada, driving everywhere, holding down the shutter, filling memory cards/hard drives and driving some more. Every evening I download everything we shot, glance through it real quick, and start editing… and keep editing, blogging or working on [...]
March 25th, 2011: Last week we shot Dom and Lisette lightsaber-fighting their way through downtown Los Angeles, but they love pictures and wanted more images that captured their love of the outdoors. We had originally planned to head up to Sequoia National Park, but a storm blew in and threatened to shut down the [...]
March 24th, 2011: Last Sunday, as the skies dumped torrential buckets upon Southern California, my wife took on the insane challenge of doing 108 Sun Salutations (that’s 1,296 yoga poses in total) within 2 hours. It was a charity event that raises funds for the National Lung Cancer Partnership, and she was extremely passionate about [...]
March 23rd, 2011: Hellen & Jose came referred through Nathasha, whose Dad is Hellen’s godfather, and this was one of the sessions we shot during our insanely hectic week. Jose was so apologetic when he got in touch the week before to reschedule their session because Hellen was sick. It seemed like some nasty flu [...]
March 19th, 2011: Felicia and I are currently in the midst of one of our busiest weeks ever: We shot 5 engagement shoots in five days, a wedding last Saturday, and are leaving for a wedding this afternoon in about 2 hours here – I am currently in the middle of triple checking gear, blogging [...]
March 17th, 2011: Southern California provides a host of varied landscapes that make for awesome engagement shoots, and, as evident from this blog, different couples pick different locations, based on aesthetics, or in this case: sentimental reasons. Denna & Parker met through mutual friends at a party on the rooftop bar of The Standard Hotel. [...]
March 14th, 2011: So, would you all like to know how random the world can be? Yes? I thought so. Way back in 2005, before I ever met my wife, Felicia spent a semester studying French in Paris. Her program had students from Singapore, Virginia Tech, Hong Kong and University California Riverside. There she met [...]
March 10th, 2011: This week we had 2 engagement sessions scheduled. Unfortunately one couple came down with the sickness going around and the other had a last minute emergency, so we rescheduled both for later in the month. This left our week rather empty, but set us up for a super busy next two weeks. [...]
March 7, 2011 These sheets of paper have been stuffed in my back pocket (getting ass-sweated on) for the last decade throughout 40 countries and countless adventures. I filled the pages with stamps and visas and once had to have new pages added so I could keep traveling. My picture makes me look like a criminal, [...]
