Steven and Brittney – Orange County Engagement Photography

This was the first of the shoots from last week’s engagement shoot marathon.  I always try to get these on the blog/facebook as quick as possible.  We shot at Chapman University, which is really close to the Orange Circle (which I love shooting in), but offers a very different surroundings, but we headed to the circle at the end of the shoow.  I’ll start off with my 2 favorites:

Note to Photographers:  This entire shoot was edited using Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta.  It is much nimbler and the noise reduction is amazing!  OK back to the photos…

Crystal and Steven’s Engagement Session – Orange County Wedding Photographer

We clicked the first time we met.  I think we spent 2 hours just chatting at the first appointment, and the same amount of time with them over Pho after this photo shoot.  I know this is going to be a really fun wedding.  This couple reminds me of all the reasons I got into this business in the first place.

We decided to shoot at all-new locations and try out some new techniques.  Let us know what you think!

This is behind a random elementary school in Orange.  We went location scouting after church and I’m glad we did!

Valentine’s Day Engagement Shoot – Dennis and Abby (with FUSION)

When we looked at our calendars for a day that would work for Dennis and Abby, the only day over the entire month that was “available” was Valentine’s day.  This suddenly seemed uber-romantic so I thought I would try out this “fusion” thing to spice things up.  For those who don’t know, my understanding of “fusion” is to mix photos and video.  But his not just any video, this is video that plays well with photos next to, video taken with a photographer’s eye.  With the trusty 5D Mark II in hand, after hours of fighting the crowds to get to Laguna Beach, this is what we created:

What did we do this New Year’s? Bonne Annee!

We had a rare opportunity this New Year to ring in the new year while gazing upon the Eiffel Tower.   Paris started out as just a stop-over on the way to Kazakhstan, but we ended up extended it to be a whole week.  These are a few of our favorite memories…

paris_0004Montmarte “Little Paris” – this was exactly what we came for, and we just stumbled upon it!  We came to look at the church, but as we followed this street behind it, it kept getting better and better.
