What’s one of the best ways to spend a sunday evening? How about going up to Robert Evans’ Studio and doing a trash the dress shoot with a hot couple? Jason and Nichol were both incredibly good sports considering its last November, the shoot was outside, and they had the hose being sprayed on them for four hours. Here are a few of my favorites from tonight.

What an awesome day for a wedding it was yesterday and to be able to work with Patty, josh, and their wonderful family made very a fantastic event. David from Esquire Photography asked me to help him out with this shoot and I was happy to oblige. The morning started off at Bella Monde for hair styling, then off to the Lakewood Baptist Church to finish getting ready.
Most of the portraits were done before the ceremony except for Josh and Patty and Josh’s face lit up when he saw Patty come down the aisle. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was fun, and everyone was a joy to work with. As these two family’s come together, we wish them the absolute best.
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!
Never passing up an opportunity to shoot, I had the chance to work with David from Esquire Photography yesterday for Nicole and Mike’s wedding. From a lovely ceremony to a fun filled reception, hanging out with Nicole and Mike last night was a blast. I started off with the guys, which meant I sat watching TV as they barely were ready by the time the limo showed up, from there the day kept getting better and better. It was a perfect fall day other than it being incredibly bright outside. The families were all just awesome to be around. This was a great start to their new life together.
This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Mark and Rachel at the beautiful Kindred Community Church in Anaheim Hills. Although it threatended to rain on us a few times, Mother Nature blessed the day and the awesome lighting she gave us to work with. Mark and Rachel were a blast to work with and we wish them the absolute best as they begin their journey together.
What a treat I had getting to shoot the wedding for Kelly and Nick! They are a terrific couple and Kelly was so laid back getting ready I couldn’t believe it. This was a tough shoot with a number of technical challenges, namely trying to have a ceremony in almost zero visibility, good thing Kelly let me bring in some lights to brighten up her evening. Leah and Linsey, from The Doubleknot Twins, are the most hard working wedding coordinators I have ever seen! From lighting probably close to 300 candles (200 votives in bags with sand), to topping off the sangria bar, they were incredible. All night, Mike from TurtleBoy Studios keep the tunes rolling. What a great evening of fun and celebration!
My friend Jeremy from Lucero Photography calls me last night and asks if I can come help him shoot a small ceremony. Sounded a bit odd that they wanted a second just for the ceremony, turns out there were FIVE photographers there. They wanted some massive coverage and boy did they get it. What a beautiful ceremony it was too. I wish you the best, it was my pleasure to be able to shoot your special day.
What a great weekend, and Sunday was just a gorgous ceremony at the Waverly Church in Santa Ana. Shooting again with David from Esquire Photography, we had a great time with Lori, David, and the entire wedding party. After the ceremony we headed over to the Long Beach Aquarium for the reception where the dancing and celebration lasted until around midnight. Our good wishes go out to the new could for a long and prosperous life together.
Jeremy Lucero from Lucero Photography called me and needed a photographer to help cover a wedding this weekend. An outdoor wedding in the middle of July at 4pm, sounds like a recipe for disaster. While it was certainly very bright and pretty warm, it wasn’t too bad as a nice breeze would sweep through the the area every once in a while. The Fullerton Aboreturm is very nice this time of year and the lake served as a nice backdrop to the ceremony while the large grass area by the Heritage house was a perfect spot for the reception. What a great couple, it was absolutely my pleasure to be a part of your event. Good luck as you begin this new journey together.
It has been complete chaos here with people streaming through for headshots and portfolio shots and one that has stood out recently was Marvell. Marvell has a look that can switch easily from street hood gang shooter to business professional. He was very comfortable in front of the camera and the final results was a nice collection of different looks. Good luck with your career Marvell and I hope to shoot with you again sometime.
