September 7th, 2011: About a year ago, I was sitting around narcissistically Google-ing myself when I came across the first photo above of Robert C. Paetz + Mother, dated 1923 being sold for $12 by a man named Paul in Northern California. I quickly did the math and figured it was my 93 year old [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
July 28th, 2011: Christine and Scott tied the knot last month with an intimate ceremony of 23 guests in Beverly Hills, at Franklin Canyon Park. Everything about the day went perfect due to Christine’s exacting plans, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend a Saturday than wandering the park with this [...]
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 [...]
May 26th, 2011: My Dad is a dedicated skier, and when he started to arrange a mid-week Mammoth trip for himself and his 3 sons, I was instantly in. Unfortunately our middle brother, Matt, wasn’t available so instead I was allowed to bring along the wifey. We had spectacular spring riding conditions and [...]
May 18th, 2011: Anggia and Andi gave us a call after being recommended our way by Michelle (who we photographed in/around Vegas in March). Despite being based in San Diego, they wanted their engagement shoot to include unique locations in Los Angeles. They decided on Santa Monica Pier and LACMA, which I have to agree, [...]
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 [...]
February 11th, 2011: Yesterday, while rummaging through my closet on a hunt for some old Legos or something, I came across some prints I had made from the very first wedding I ever shot – buried under all sorts of random stuff that builds up through 30 years of life. I called Felicia over and [...]
October 8th, 2010: (Damn… it’s October already…) I am currently chest deep in editing wedding photos from Cassandra and Javier’s big day last week, but at some point in the last couple hours I thought about my blog and how my Aperture Library is full of things to post that just shouldn’t be buried on [...]
