Kathy and Fred’s Wedding – Strawberry Farms, Irvine, CA

Fred and Kathy are the kind of couple you know will be together forever.  I’ve known Fred since we lived in Kazakhstan together in 2004, and it’s been fun to go through a similar stage in life as we both returned to the US and found the loves of our lives.  I had the incredible Troy Grover assisting me, as well as my wife Masha.  Check out Troy’s blog for more of his shots.  I shot their awesome engagement shoot at Irvine Park back in March, and as soon as they described it all to me, I knew this was going to be an amazing wedding.  Don’t forget to see their slideshow here (with music).  On to the images!

Thanks guys!  It was an amazing wedding, and I hope these images help you to enjoy it forever.

Christine and Victor: Married!

We had a super-classy engagement session a few months back, and it was a blast.  Their wedding was even more fun, and I couldn’t be happier for these two.  They are truly world-changers, and I am honored to call them friends.  My wife assisted me at this wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather.  Here’s a slideshow I created using Animoto:

Neat, huh?  Follow the Animoto link and try it out yourself.  And onto my favorite images…

What a day!  We took 7,200 photos, and it was TOUGH to narrow it down.  I love shooting weddings for friends.

Tony and Erin’s Engagement Session

Tony and Erin are some dear friends who we met in the past year since we started attending Harbor Trinity church in Costa Mesa.  They wanted to have fun for their engagement session, and they sure did!  I love this little downtown in Balboa, and I think it fit their personalities well.  I’m super excited about their wedding in September, as it is the first ceremony I have photographed at our new church.  Here are a few keepers my wife and I took.
