Category: Engagements

I’ve known Kara longer than I’ve been a photographer, and she has been such a sweetheart throughout the years I’ve known her.  She and Brian got engaged a few weeks ago, and I’m glad I get to be part of their big day.  Here are some of my favorites from our engagement session in China Cove in Corona Del Mar.

I told her to do the “I love what you do for me, Toyota!” jump… here it is:








Here’s my favorite from the shoot.  I love the yellow of sunset.

Hey good lookin’!








Gasp!  The hope diamond fits on a ring…



Thanks so much Kara and Brian!  I look forward to your wedding in November.  You Gap ad models, you.

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.

Thanks guys!  We loved hanging out with you.

I met these two at a bridal fair on the Queen Mary (that huge ship that is eternally docked in Long Beach Harbor).  They both share a love of the outdoors, and they wanted engagement photos with completely natural surrounding.  I was amazed to find anything in LA County that was this green or untouched.  I’m looking forward to your wedding in June!  Enjoy the photos!

I loved the field of flowers.  I have been picturing a shot like this for a few months and I finally got to take it!  Great job guys!

Victor and Christine are an amazing couple doing amazing things in some far away countries.  They share a love for the Lord, and a love for people who are in need.  I hope these photos show how much they love each other!  The wedding is coming up soon, and it is going to be beautiful.  I couldn’t narrow it down any further, so here’s a whole bunch of my favorites:

My wife Masha assisted, and got this great shot.  Lovin’ that new Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS!

I’m gonna sell this one to some cologne/perfume advertising company…
