Ryan and I met way back in High School and maybe even Junior High when we performed together in the Santa Clarita Honor Band. That’s right we were pretty cool. So when he contacted me to shoot his wedding and engagement pictures, I was excited … Read More →

Calderon Family ~ Valencia
It was a rainy Saturday when this shoot was scheduled and everyone was a bit apprehensive about having a baby out in this weather. However, despite the fact that we weren’t sure we’d be able to get anything, we just went for it and it … Read More →
Rachel + Kris ~ Tesoro Adobe Park (Mini Session)
For such a relatively small location, we were able to get a lot of different looks. I met this couple because I frequent my local Starbucks nearly twice a day. Rachel’s stepfather would always see me in there meeting clients or hanging out with my … Read More →
Rae + Karl ~ Getty Villa
It was an extremely beautiful museum, but with “Getty” in its name, that is to be expected. This was a predecessor to the Getty that is on Sepulveda. It overlooked the ocean and was absolutely serene and peaceful. We got kicked out, but not before … Read More →
Elizabeth + BJ ~ Bridgeport
I met Elizabeth and BJ through my wife, as they have been friends since high school. I then shot a wedding a while back where BJ was a groomsman. It was at that wedding where we discussed this maternity photo shoot. Elizabeth had been mentioning … Read More →
Anamarie + Chris ~ Calamigos Malibu
Anamarie and Chris were married at the incredible Calamigos Malibu. It is an insanely beautiful location with a large property where I could probably go back multiple times and have different backgrounds each time. They selected a very hip Super Mario theme, complete with a … Read More →

Kim + Jorge ~ Huntington Beach
I drove down to Huntington Beach on a picturesque February day for Kim and Jorge’s engagement shoot. The weather was perfect, which made the beach a bit crowded with people. At sunset, there were four different groups of photographers all shooting near the pier. We … Read More →
Erica + Jake ~ Santa Monica Pier
The weather in Santa Monica today couldn’t have been any better for my engagement photo shoot with Erica and Jake. We had a blast playing the carnival games, listening to a reggae band, and watching some pretty cool street performers. It was the kind of … Read More →
Jessica + Garret ~ Saugus
I thoroughly enjoy having my previous wedding clients contact me when they reach another milestone in their lives, and these two did just that. I shot Jessica and Garret’s engagement pictures and their wedding, so it seemed fitting to be approached by Jessica to do … Read More →
Christina + Frank ~ Newport Beach
Nautical weddings. This wedding marks a first for me. It was the first wedding I’ve shot on a yacht. The ceremony and reception took place on the Majestic in Newport Harbor on Black Friday. While my wife was waking up early to hit all the … Read More →
Rebekah + Brian ~ Hartley Botanica
Rebekah and Brian’s wedding was held in Somis at Hartley Botanica, a tucked-away venue where greenery is in no short supply. They had a beautiful outdoor reception held underneath a canopy of trees and surrounded by what else? Green! A parrot, owned by Hartley Botanica, … Read More →
