I’m a bit nervous about writing this blog post because the groom has a Masters in Literature and the only one who proof reads my posts is my lovely wife Jackie. That aside, I have shot at La Palapa in Long Beach once before and … Read More →

Nick + Breanna ~ Kelly’s Wedding Gardens
So I realize this post is skewed towards the pictures in which there is a classic Ford truck, but I couldn’t help myself. I will be the first to admit that I’m not a car guy really, but having the truck there (which was rebuilt … Read More →
Gabriela + Yusuf ~ Acton, CA
I thought I knew Acton, California pretty well being that I have gone horseback riding with my mom and sister several times in that area. Unfortunately all those horseback rides didn’t help me this time. As I was trying to find the wedding, I found … Read More →
Tracey + Matt ~ Porter Valley CC
Southern California is known to get quite hot during the summer but even so, I will never get accustomed to shooting a wedding in 100 degree heat. With lots of sunblock and water on hand, I was well prepared to shoot at Porter Valley Country … Read More →
Shanyne + Daniel ~ Forest Lawn
The Forest Lawn Cemetery was an amazing place to photograph a wedding. Huge open spaces, perfect lighting, and incredible architecture allowed me to capture great moments. Of course it didn’t hurt that I had great subjects to photograph. Daniel and Shanyne were able to turn … Read More →
Danielle + Ben ~ Robinson Ranch
The one thing about shooting with no assistant is that you truly grasp the emotion that is running through both the bride and the groom. I could definitely sense the anticipation each were feeling as they prepared for their first look. However once they saw … Read More →
Lauren + Corey ~ Bridgeport
This is the second wedding that I have a photographed this month at the Bridgeport Clubhouse in Valencia. So what is it like getting married there (from the photographer’s perspective)? Besides having a lake along side the clubhouse, it has a great open feel. The … Read More →
Kelly + Allyn ~ Castaway
Southern California isn’t known for its strong weather systems, but on the day of Kelly and Allyn’s wedding we were constantly in communication with The Castaway Restaurant for weather updates. Would the wedding be inside or outside? Everyone pretty much agreed it needed to be … Read More →
Amy + Kevin ~ Bridgeport
This is the first of several weddings that I will be photographing in 2011 at the Bridgeport Club House in Valencia, CA. It really is a great place to get married. I find that the guests enjoy the freedom of having the choice to hang … Read More →
Meghan + Kyle ~ Serra Cross
I woke up the day of the wedding to Al Roker informing me about a tsunami warning along California’s coast. Immediately I called the hotel to confirm that the wedding that I was to photograph later that day wasn’t in danger. Luckily everything worked out … Read More →
Nicole + Ryan ~ La Palapa
You really couldn’t have asked for better beach weather in mid January. It was as if January got confused for a day and thought it was July or August and even then you’re not guaranteed clear skies and warm temps. Nicole and Ryan were married … Read More →
Heidi & Rocky ~ Calamigos Equestrian
When Heidi and Rocky contacted me about photographing their wedding at Calamigos Equestrian Center, I told them how I got married there and that my wife and I loved our venue. My memory did not fail me. Almost 3 years later Calamigos was everything I … Read More →
