Mike + Iris in the Blazing Sun

July 22nd, 2011: It was hot. Really hot. So hot that I at one point during the outdoor afternoon photo shoot I tried to talk to Iris and my mouth produced no sounds, only a comical puff of dust and evaporated spit.  I had to work for a couple minutes just to produce the saliva to tell [...]

Daniel + Scherrie | San Diego Wedding

July 11th, 2011: Daniel is one of my oldest and best friends, I have known him for about 20 years – he was one of my Groomsmen in Singapore and took part in our ceremony.   He met Scherrie a few years ago while working in the Bay area and they instantly knew they were [...]

Bev + Sly | Annapolis MD

July 1st 2011: Sometime last year, I received a call from an unfamiliar number while driving along PCH before an engagement shoot. I remember pulling over to take the call, and was surprised to learn that it was a call from Annapolis, Maryland. Beverly was referred to us by her friends Jennifer & Neil – [...]

Walking Out The Door

June 15th, 2011 We are about to walk out the door to catch the red eye for a east coast wedding and engagement shoot, but I thought I would drop a few pictures from the last few days of weddings.  Daniel and Scherrie (first two images) got married in San Diego, while Christine and Scott [...]

Liz + Brent: ‘I Do’ at Tivoli Too

May 31st, 2011: Liz & Brent came recommended to us last year from John (who is one of their co-workers), shortly after his and Nathasha’s wedding. We had a great time shooting their after-dark engagement session in downtown LA last November, and before we know it, it was time for their wedding – one of [...]

Jo + Red | Middle Ranch

May 23rd, 2011: Jo and Red got married at Middle Ranch, a wedding full of handmade details that would make any DIY-er proud. Felicia was especially intrigued by Jo’s use of a ‘Silhouette’ cutter  - a gadget like a printer, but instead of printing, it has a blade that cuts whatever shapes/words you want. I suspect [...]

Carrie + Robert | Hollywood Hometown Reception

April 15, 2011: One Saturday, Felicia and I dressed up and headed out to the penthouse level of a club in the heart of Hollywood. It was the VIP level, an exclusive private event, and we were invited! Woooo hoooo! Wait. Did we turn cool overnight? Not really. We’re still a couple of camera-toting nerds [...]

Anaid + Justin: Love on the Ranch

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 [...]

Sorry, Cows

March 3rd, 2011: It’s been 6 years since I last shot fully on film, where finished images were delivered to clients as printed 4×6 proofs, and then the selects would be made into an album. As much as I love the convenience that digital photography offers, I still feel that pictures are best seen and [...]

Chilling out with Mickey & Friends: Iris + Mike

February 21st, 2011: Several weeks ago, Iris got in touch with me and requested an engagement session at Disneyland. It was one of the many stops she had to make during the scavenger hunt Mike planned as part of his proposal, so it was only apt that they would have a photoshoot there to commemorate [...]
