February 2nd, 2012: Mirza went to UCLA and Anthony went to USC, but when they met six years ago they didn’t let the standard school rivalry get in the way of getting together. They both love their Alma mater though, so when it came time to plan their engagement session they instantly knew they wanted [...]
January 24th, 2012: Not too long ago, I was just explaining to someone why the movie industry moved to Hollywood: because, unlike New York, Southern California has awesome weather where you could make movies all year round (sunlight = film exposure). The same wonderful climate here also means that Felicia and I rarely have to [...]
January 9th, 2012: On Christmas Eve, I was in my Dad’s backyard, drowsy from a food coma and was being coerced into playing yet another game of croquet, when my phone rang. It was Michelle, whose engagement pictures we shot in the Nevadan desert and the glitz of The Strip in Vegas. Her best friend, [...]
December 9th, 2011: Justin and Christa are freaking cool. No two ways about it, they may not be LA natives, but they have certainly taken wholeheartedly to the lifestyle. Justin is a young filmmaker and within minutes of meeting, he and I digressed into talk about cameras, lenses and all the other image-creating paraphernalia [...]
October 21st, 2011: Eileen & Trinidad are friends of Cassandra & Javier, and I can see why: All 4 of these awesome people are super easy-going and fun to be around! We started off our photo session at a sushi bar where Eileen & Trinidad first met. I love being able to shoot at a [...]
October 13th, 2011: On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon I packed my cameras and wife into the car for a drive up PCH. Felicia and I were on our way to El Matador State Beach to meet Chrissy and John for the first time to shoot their engagement session. They are getting married next July in [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
August 2nd, 2011: “BALLOONS!” my wife exclaimed as she saw Alisa and John unloading in the parking lot of Crystal Cove State Park. I gathered Felicia was obviously excited about the balloons, and I was excited because the balloons meant this couple had come ready to have fun, and being surrounded by fun loving people who [...]
