month: September 2009




Christen and Rick celebrated an amazing destination wedding in a doll house. I know what your thinking. Chris has lost it…. well not completely. This weekends Historic victorian property in San Rafael set amidst towering connifers was an incredible setting for a wedding. We had great weather, fun families, and some serious chemistry between these two!
Enjoy the images!

This is a cool slideshow of Carly and Joel’s wedding at Rancho Capistrano. Enjoy!





My first time at the brand new Vellano Country club in Chino Hills. It is a beautiful Tuscan style club house nestled deep in auburn colored hills. Looking forward to going back in the future! The ceremony went off without a hitch as the sun slowly sunk below the hills. Also I have to say , Letty and Mike were a blast to work with! Round of applause for my talented second photographer Sarah from Sundrawn studios in Huntington Beach! Great feminine touch;-)

As always enjoy the images!

These two have some serious chemistry. Had a really fun session with Paul and Cheryl at a great park in orange county. I love sessions where the romantic fire is burning hot. The images really just show this couples connection.

Enjoy the images!

Had a great shoot working with my mystery couple Kathy and Michael. They live in the Chicago area and booked me over the phone about a year ago. I finally got the chance to meet them a couple days before their big day for an casual portrait session in Laguna Beach. The wedding was incredible! I love clients that pay attention to detail. Everything was absolutely beautiful, including the images! I must say thanks to my uber-talented second shooter Joel Austell. Fantastic Job. Also a very large thank you to the coordinator Victoria of Coronado Weddings for keeping everything running smoothly. Message for brides out there…..Good Coordinators are worth the investment! They really make a difference helping to keep the day on track. Speaking of keeping on track…..Enjoy the images!

It has been a little time since I had the opportunity to work at Rancho Capistrano in south orange county. It still rocks!!!! Definitely a fan of the rustic Spanish style architecture. Carly and Joel were also a blast to work with. Its always fun to see the same families over and over as each child gets married! CArly your brother is the only one left…no pressure;-)
Enjoy the images!

This one was cutting it close! Michael and Kathy are scheduled to exchange vows this saturday..Yes that is tomorrow! I’m looking forward to capturing their celebration at the US Grant in San Diego. We just barely squeezed this E session in after they came into town before the wedding. This was photographed at one of my favorite beach locations in Southern California.
Enjoy the images.

This was a fun one! Great couple, multicultural experience, Dragon dancers….I’ll stop. Kathryn and Coleman were married in Irvine on August 15th. After the ceremony the families celebrated at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach. Lauren Austell and I had a great time capturing all the details and great moments!
