January 17th, 2012: Remember how I joined Canon Professional Services as a Platinum Member, where I can get free “Evaluation Equipment“? Well, I am loving trying out new gear and the second lens I requested (after the 100mm macro) was the Canon 85mm F/1.2 II (the “II” means it is the second version of this lens).

November 22nd, 2011: So remember a couple months back when the shutter on one of my cameras went out during a shoot? Well, after that I started researching how much it would cost to fix and I realized I qualified to join Canon Professional Services as a Platinum Member, which would offer me 60% off [...]

November 16th, 2011: A few weeks ago, Jon & Maria celebrated their marriage surrounded by their very enthusiastic family and friends.

November 7th 2011: Last month Felicia and I headed out to Temecula to photograph Amber and Sean’s big day at the Secluded Garden Estates.

October 24th, 2011: Last month was a busy one for Felicia and I – we shot weddings in Napa, Dana Point, Pasadena and Temecula, adding thousands of miles to our little Volkswagon. Right smack in the middle of the month we made our way down to the Chart House in Dana Point to capture Shawna [...]

October 11th, 2011: I’ve said before on this blog that one of my favorite things about shooting weddings is that Felicia and I are constantly surrounded by happy people, and we also have the privilege of meeting lots of people from all walks of life, and sometimes, from all over the world. We are indeed [...]
