Anna + Greg: Wedding

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Anna & Greg's wedding at one of my favorite locations, Monteleone Meadows. This place is just filled with lush greenery and has an amazing pond and waterfall right smack in the middle. I could literally spend hours shooting a couple here and never get bored! To all brides-to-be that have not chosen a venue I would definitely recommend this place! The weather always seems to be perfect here and the staff is amazing. Check out some photos!

We started the day off at Anna's parents house. Her dress was so beautiful!

They had this very cool looking door and I just had to take a few shots of Anna in front of it before we headed out to the ceremony.

They got married in the same chapel that Anna's parent got married in. It was a very unique looking place.....I loved it!

Greg cleans up nicely eh?

The girls......

Who doesn't love polka dots??

Katie + Mike: Wedding

A couple weeks ago I had the chance to shoot another fabulous wedding with Rob Holley. This was a very unique wedding because it took place over the course of 2 days. The first day they had the ceremony at the American Martyrs Church in Manhattan Beach, then Sunday it was on to Palos Verdes for a beachfront reception. Mike works for ESPN handling logistics for the X-Games, and Katie works for the Home Depot Center, which was very cool because she got us press passes for the Galaxy game that Saturday night! Anyways, here are a few of my favorites from that weekend.

Rob was with Katie, so I got to hang out with Mike and his best man:

A few relaxed portraits after the ceremony:

Then we headed down to the beach to play:

This is the exact spot that Mike proposed!

Instead of the usual DJ, they had a steel drum band and hula dancers!! It was so cool! I think I am going to get a steel drum band at my wedding now ;)

And a few shots from the Galaxy game, which we won by the way. GO TEAM!

Edith + Eddie: Wedding

As promised, here is a sneak peek at the wedding I shot at CSULB Japanese Gardens on Friday. Edith and Eddie were so great to work with and a great time was had by all. It's very late and I am tired so instead of rambling lets get to some photos! ;)

This is one of my favorite shoe shots I have ever done!

...and the beautiful bride Edith, so happy on her wedding day!

Eddie was looking pretty sharp too

Anticipation.......

I absolutely LOVE this moment during their first dance

Thanks Edith and Eddie, I had such a great time shooting your wedding! Now I am off to bed!

Halloween Fun at Disneyland

Can you believe it's already October?? Where has the year gone? It's crazy how fast time flies isn't it? Well in anticipation for Halloween, Sandy and I headed out to California Adventure with her sister Kristi and her family. This is the first year Disneyland has done this and although it is definitely geared for kids, it was still fun. Sandy's niece Kylie was dressed as a peacock and it was hilarious! She looked so cute though. One cool thing was that there was absolutely no line whatsoever for the only adult ride, California Screamin', which is always a good time. But we mostly just walked around letting Kylie trick-or-treat. They had booths set up for kids to trick-or-treat at which was pretty cool....free candy!! Well I have to start packing up for a wedding I am shooting today at the Japanese Gardens at CSULB....so be sure to check back for more on that later! Until then, take a look at some photos from the other day.

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend everyone.

My first Kiss Engagement sign-in album!

Check it out y'all...another sweet album by Kiss Wedding books! This time I had it printed to be used as an engagement sign-in book, so I left plenty of room around the photos for people to sign. The quality is top notch as expected and I received it even before the estimated ship date! Talk about being on top of it....these guys are awesome!

Edith + Eddie: Engagement

Hey there folks, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Ahhh, mine was soo relaxing, finally had a chance to catch up on some much needed R&R Saturday, but Sunday was right back to work! You might remember Nelcy and Rudy from back in June. Well Edith is Nelcy's cousin, and I am shooting her wedding next Friday at the Japanese Gardens at CSULB. So Sunday we headed out to a nearby park and then down to the cliff covered shorline of Palos Verdes. Edith explained to me that camera's make her nervous, but you sure can't tell in these pictures! They both did a really great job and we captured some awesome moments between them....take a peek!

Thanks for being so easy to work with and for putting up with me guys....I am looking forward to your wedding next week!
