Caught Up… For 37 Hours

August 30th, 2011: Seated at my computer late last week around 11:30pm I turned to my wife and said “Done. At least for the next 37 hours.”  (When we have a new wedding to photograph.) “Does that mean we get to go see Tim Burton?!?!” She excitedly asked (referring to the Tim Burton art exhibit [...]

Angela + Jeff | San Diego and Swords

August 25th 2011: A couple of months ago when Felicia and I flew out to Washington DC for a wedding, we also shot Angela & Jeff’s engagement session against the epic backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial. Jeff and Angela moved out to DC due to Jeff’s work with the US Coast Guard, but they recently [...]

Sean + Amber | Caspers Regional Park

August 22nd, 2011: Sean and Amber were sent our way by Matt and Amber a few months back (Sean and Matt are good friends and refer to their respective ladies as “my Amber” whenever talking amongst themselves). When we originally planned to meet with Sean and Amber,  Amber was out for lunch with a friend the [...]

Lisette + Dom: Even Superheroes Need love

August 18th, 2011: Over the course of the year, we’ve shot two engagement sessions for Dom & Lisette, and both times, they let their personalities shine through: Night-time shoot with lightsabers? Check. Hiking into the woods dressed in Batman and Superman tees? Check. So how can you expect their wedding day to be any less [...]

Pete + Cindy | Ojai Engagement Session

August 17th 2011: Before I met Felicia and she beat me into submission to force an honest man out of me (she tries, but I doubt she’s succeeding…), I was fresh out of college, bartending, and being my raucous, rambunctious self. During those crazy years, I had a bunch of bar regulars, some of whom [...]

A Rare Weekend of Leisure

August 15th, 2011: Friday afternoon I was feeling rather burnt out: we have been shooting and editing non-stop since June when we went to NYC and DC, and just felt like a couple days away from the computer would help me come back refreshed.  It also coincided with the first weekend in a long time [...]

Shaby + Mike | Wedding at The Vineyards

August 11th, 2011: Felicia and I met Shaby and Mike more than a year before their wedding day, when we shot their engagement session at The Grove. Time surely flies, as a few weeks ago, we were reunited again at their wedding at The Vineyards. Shaby put in lots of effort with handmade details throughout [...]

An Afternoon at the Fair

August 10th, 2011: Michael and Genna are long-time sweethearts who have been together since they were 16. And throughout the years, visiting the OC Fair has been an annual highlight. When it came to deciding on a location for their engagement pictures, Michael & Genna decided without hesitation that the Fair would be the best [...]

Fruit! NOM!

August 8th, 2011: Sitting around the kitchen table with Felicia this morning reading the Sunday paper (we had a wedding yesterday – as with most weekends – so we catch up on the weekend LA Times on Monday), we were in the midst of discussing our tasks for the day, including blogging, when we heard [...]

Matt + Amber | Padua Hills Theater Wedding

August 4th, 2011: Amber and Matt wed a few weeks ago at the very scenic Padua Hills Theater, having been referred to us by Brandon, the brother of one of our grooms last year (Katie & Brett’s wedding). Incidentally, during that time Felicia had to rush back to Singapore to see her ailing father and [...]
