Jeff and Lauren, Long Beach Engagement Photography

What a cute couple.  I shot Lauren’s brother’s wedding earlier this year, where I met this wonderful couple.  She even called me before she set a wedding date to make sure I was available for her wedding, almost 2 years away.  I recommended Belmont Shore in Long Beach for this engagement session, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.  My sister Pam used to live there, that’s how I knew about this character-filled made-for-engagement-sessions location.  Here are some of my favorites from the session….

You wedding feels like forever away, but I know it will be here in no time!  Thanks!

Troy and Aimee – Strawberry Farms Wedding Photography

Troy is a great photographer in his own right, and I was shooting alongside celebrity wedding photographer Robert Evans, so I was a little nervous to say the least!  Robert amazed me with his calm attitude and willingness to teach while getting amazing photos and even some “fusion” video.  Robert has shot weddings for stars like Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston, to mention a few.

Troy and Aimee are two of the kindest people you will meet, and their wedding reminded my why I do what I do.  Their wedding was expertly decorated, executed and documented, while still retaining the true essence of matrimonial love and commitment that no wedding should be without.

Sarah and Sean – Newport Beach Engagement Photos

For those of you who follow my blog, this post will seem a little out of order.  I meant to post these engagement photos a few months ago when we took them, but they got a little lost in the shuffle of all these Fall weddings.  To see their wedding photos, click here.  Here are some of my favorites from their Engagement Photo Shoot in Corona Del Mar.  A little city, a little coast…

Big Bear! Just a little snow…

I haven’t put much personal stuff on the blog lately, so here are a few tidbits from our weekend in Big Bear.  My wife and I visited my folks at their timeshare, which was by far the easiest way to travel.  The crisp mountain air was easy to breathe, and a few days away from the city was more than welcome.

bigbear_0001Fun with long exposures and mini-flashlights…
bigbear_0002Masha drew this in the freezing air.
bigbear_0003I love the serenity of this scene.
bigbear_0004The two women in my life… Mom and Wife.
