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 →
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 →
Rachel + Tim ~ Santa Barbara Zoo
I wasn’t sure if I was on a day-cation with some friends in Santa Barbara or on an engagement shoot. Either way, I had a blast. At one point we saw a fish backdrop at the zoo and immediately I knew this was an opportunity … Read More →
Ashley + David ~ Valencia
This engagement shoot was, I imagine, kind of like a tour of Valencia for Ashley and David, considering they are from Orange. We shot in front of the University Center at College of the Canyons, the hills to the right of the college, and then … Read More →
Adam + Mary ~ Northern NY
Once or twice a year for the past 4 and a half years or so I have traveled to New York State to visit my wife’s family and stay in their cabin. Inevitably I have to explain to my friends that “No, I’m not going … Read More →
Anamarie + Chris ~ Fillmore
Fillmore is a very eclectic town; we shot on Central Avenue. Between the old train station that had absolutely no security and the theater that looks like a piece of the set from Back to the Future, it offered so many possibilities. And the best … Read More →
Nick + Breanna ~ Vasquez Rocks
Vasquez Rocks is located in Agua Dulce, CA. This famous rocky landscape has been featured in hundreds of different TV shows and movies. That said, I thought it would be a great backdrop for an engagement session. It’s one of those places that I wonder … Read More →
Jamie + James ~ Placerita Canyon
Santa Clarita offers a lot of great places to shoot. Until yesterday I had really never photographed up Placerita canyon. My only previous experiences have been either hiking there or going on a field trip there in second or third grade. It was great! Not … Read More →
Tracey + Matt ~ Towsley Canyon
Towsley Canyon is a great park that my family and I frequent. It has miles of trails and during this time of the year everything is alive and green. I told Tracey and Matt to wear comfortable shoes as we would be doing a lot … Read More →
Ryan + Julia ~ Brideport Clubhouse ~ Placerita Cyn
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 →
