SMUGMUG Riverside Meeting

Mar20
2011 Leave a Comment Written by KerryG

I was quite thrilled to be asked to be an instructor at today’s SMUGMUG Lighting & Posing Event. This was the second opportunity I have had recently to shoot at Shutter Stories Studio. We had a great set of models and photographers that all came together to haver a great time shooting and learning. I set up a really simple lighting setup to show people how to get started with basic lighting tools and still be able to get creative lighting. Here are a few of my favorites even though I didn’t really shoot much as I was making sure the photographers got to take as many as possible.

Kristen & Jahed Wedding at Lake Mission Viejo

Sep26
2010 1 Comment Written by KerryG

Weddings can be strange things and you never really know what to expect when you show up to shoot one, especially true with Kristen and Jahed as they are very much the Ying and Yang to each other sometimes. Jahed is quiet and softspoken and Kristen is outgoing and often very funny. The wedding took place at Tortilla Flats on Lake Mission Viejo and turned out to be a complete blast. The wedding kept up a fun upbeat vibe and the dance floor was always packed with people. I want to thank them for letting me be a part of it, this was one wedding that I really had fun shooting. Congratulations to Kristen and Jahed!

Ryan and Rachelle Summer Wedding in Yorba Linda

I had been looking forward to this wedding for a long time as I found Rachelle to be so much fun to work with and couldn’t wait to meet Ryan as he has been off serving our country. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and the Messiah Lutheran Church in Yorba Linda made for an awesome backdrop to the ceremony. Afterward we headed over to the Alta Vista Country Club where we ran around the course for some special shots and then headed inside where Ross was keeping the dance floor rocking. Now something I have never seen (nor heard of until now) was the Hoedown Throwdown which the wedding party and a number of guests all did during the reception.

Note: The Hoedown Throwdown should be well known to any Hannah Montana fans

Sandra and Kaleo Engagement Shoot – Los Angeles

Today I met up with Sandra and Kaleo in the artist district in downtown Los Angeles for their engagement shots. I had never been to the art district and the mural artists there simply do amazing things with cans of spray paint. Next was a quick stop off by the LA river basin followed by some quick pics at the Musicbox.  They were both such good sports today and I can’t wait for their wedding this fall.

I don’t know what got into me and somehow I completely forgot to post these images earlier. What a gorgeous day it was for a beachside wedding at the Pacific Edge in Laguna Beach. The house looked awesome and was well-prepped as always by the amazing staff from At Your Service Catering and Corey Morgan assisted as second shooter. Kristi looked absolutely amazing and Aaron looked fantastic. The ceremony may have been a tad bit late, but looked great against the setting sun. If you didn’t see them before, be sure and check out their engagement pictures taken at the location where Aaron proposed to Kristi.

img_5819For what is probably the last wedding of the season, I shot along with David from Esquire Photography for a fantastic day with Alex and Genevieve. I went off to work with the guys while David was off with the girls. We then headed off to the Nativity Catholic Church for very nice ceremony, then off to the Seal Beach pier where we all froze of tooshies off. Finally we headed over to Old Ranch Country Club for a fun-filled reception that ran until midnight. Alex and Genevieve where a total blast to work with and their bridal party kept us laughing all night. Happy Holidays and best wishes on your new life together!

What a beautiful day it was yesterday for Matt and Wendy’s wedding. The wedding and ceremony were held at the gorgeous Rancho Capistrano and was all put together by the amazing Gini Garner. The ceremony was short and sweet and everyone was just awesome to work with. The reception was a ton of fun while everyone was dancing their butts off all night until the newlyweds were wisked off in the limo.

People like Wendy and Matt make doing this job so rewarding. Good luck to you both!

It was a great day for an 8/8/8 wedding at Rancho Las Lomas in Trabuco. Jessica and Matthew were looking fantastic and the wedding party were absolutely fantastic to work with. The location is just awesome with white tigers, zebras, and other exotic wildlife close enough to touch (if you don’t mind risking loosing body parts). Even though it was scorching hot, the handled it like troopers and had a fantastic time. It absolutely was my pleasure to be asked to shoot them for their special day.

Visit to the Holy Jim Trail

2008 Leave a Comment Written by KerryG

Friends of mine have heard me talk about the Holy Jim trail as being one of my favorite hiking spots in Orange County. The real appeal of this spot is that it is a very woodsy environment with nice stream, several waterfalls, great scenery, and although you will end up walking eight miles, many people from young kids to senior citizens to the hike easily every weekend and all of this right in central Orange County just minutes from the hustle and bustle of homes and businesses. If this sounds like something you want to try for yourself, then read the complete story to find out how to get there and what to expect.
