Kimberly (in blue) contacted me a few weeks ago about a photo session and told me about her family, who reside on three separate continents and are rarely together, were all going to be gathered in Southern California on Labor Day weekend. I, of course, told her we could make it work and [...]

Downtown LA can be a gritty place, but grit also exudes charm and character. When we met Natalia and Hernan in front of the Geffen Museum in Little Tokyo we had intended to shoot there, but were quickly chased off by security saying we needed permission, because it is owned by the city.
Oh [...]

Having spent time with Alex & Mina at an engagement shoot and a bridal portrait session over the past few months, Felicia and I almost felt like we were photographing long-time friends when their wedding day finally came around.
Mina’s planning and attention to detail certainly paid off as we breezed through the day’s [...]

A few weeks back, on a wonderfully sunny Tuesday morning we met Carrie and Robert at the Griffith Observatory. Without a care in the world, we spent an hour traipsing all about the observatory using it as our own private studio. With the stark blue skies and the Hollywood Hills in the background, [...]

A couple of weeks back (actually 11 days ago) Felicia and I had the chance to shoot Brianna and Mike’s wedding day at the Lindley Scott House in Azusa. The location was spectacular, the trees were green and the August weather agreed with us (read: we didn’t melt), it was all you could [...]

Last week Felicia and I had the chance to capture Amber and Chirag’s ceremonies at Rancho del Cielo in Malibu, CA. Now I say ceremonies (plural) because they celebrated in both a customary Indian Hindu ceremony and an American ceremony. The Indian ceremony came first, so today I have posted that half of [...]

Eli and Selene met when they were 14. Eli had a huge crush on her, but Selene was always more interested in her book on the bench outside the room with the yellow door. So a decade later, when they want an engagement session, what better place to start shooting than where it [...]

In the middle of a blistering hot Sunday afternoon, in the middle of a Southern Californian heatwave, Felicia and I met up with Eileen and Nathan for an engagement shoot at the Los Angeles Arboretum. After paying our $8 each and being cautioned by the front desk ladies against taking “Professional Photography” (they [...]

I just got done working on these pictures from a shoot at Venice Beach last weekend. I am glad to have a chance to photograph Brandon and Jodi, a statuesque couple who both hail from different parts of the mid-west, but now live here in Los Angeles.
They really wanted a bright beautiful California [...]
