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 [...]
February 16th, 2011: When Natalie contacted me about her engagement session with Justin, we bantered back and forth about locations and finally decided on starting around Pasadena City Hall and wandering on from there. Justin and Natalie love living in Pasadena almost much as Felicia and I love our town of Burbank. We got to [...]
February 9th, 2011: Early last week Jerald gave me a call and laid out a scheme he was planning for Saturday night – this involved Teniel, a ring, a sunset and Malibu. Jerald had the whole night planned out, oceanside proposal, dinner at Geoffreys, and an night at the Loews in Sanata Monica. He had [...]
January 20th, 2011: January’s supposed to be winter in California, but last Saturday, on Jenn & Dave‘s big day, the sun was blazing, and the sky was clear blue: a perfect, beautiful day, for two beautiful people. From the balcony of the apartment where Jenn was getting ready, we watched as throngs of paddle-boarders, kayakers [...]
January 19th, 2010: When Jo emailed me and asked if I could manage a few “Bad Ass Rockstar photos”, I was totally up to the challenge. Felicia and I took a drive around the downtown Arts District in search of gritty spots – think trains, steel I-beams, graffiti and brick walls. After about an [...]
January 7th, 2011: You know, back in the day… (insert voice of a grizzled old curmudgeon here), I always wanted to find a girl who would work until she develops blisters on her feet, a cramped index finger and a knot in her right shoulder the size of a tennis ball – and then, after [...]
December 31st, 2010: Another amazing year is about to end and I figured a little wedding recap was in order. Felicia and I have had the opportunity to work with some spectacular couples and we are thankful to each and every one for trusting us to capture and record one of the most monumental days [...]
December 21st, 2010: Heather and Ian in Downtown Fullerton Well, the year is winding down and it is time for me to take stock in this years work. I figured I would start with the “Best Of” from our engagement sessions, Felicia and I have shot about 40 of these sessions this year, and have [...]
December 9th, 2010: So last night, in our continuing role as Southern Californian tour guides, Felicia and I were out on Santa Monica Pier to watch the sunset. I had my 5D, a 35mm f/1.4 lens and nothing else. I captured a few pictures that I thoroughly enjoyed creating and was reminded that sometimes, a [...]
November 9th, 2010: Rings on pair of Nastar – delicious Indonesian Pineapple Tarts! I was offered one and ended up slowly stuffing my face with their deliciousness. Deviously delicious little morsels of delectable-ness! (Did I overuse the D’s?) Anthony & Yenny are an Indonesian-Chinese couple who have also made the move across the Pacific and [...]
