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_0003I love the serenity of this scene.

Sarah and Sean – El Monte Wedding Photography

I’ve known Sarah since High School, but I just met Sean when they contacted me about their wedding.  These guys had a great wedding, very spiritual and very well executed.  And most of all, it was romantic.  Here is a slideshow:

Scott and Kristin – Seal Beach, CA Wedding Photography

So many times their lives almost collided, and yet the Good Lord had his timing for their lives to merge into one. I went to High School with Kristin, but I hadn’t seen her since then until she called me about her wedding. When we met them, we both fell in love with them. They have been such troopers to work with, trusting our creative vision and willing to do anything we ask to get just the right shots. You probably recognize them from their Engagement Session in Long Beach Harbor, and you’ll be happy to hear they successfully tied the knot a few weeks ago. I made a slideshow (click “play show” below to see it) – I’m proud to say it’s one of our best:
