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!

Masha is great at capturing these moments…

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.

Merry Christmas! And the Peca Christmas Portraits.

Matt and Sarah are both in the worship band at Harbor Trinity, our church in Costa Mesa, and Matt is a full-time pastor there as well.  We all watched as Sarah came full term and now little Caleb is officially the cutest kid on the block.  We had so much fun shooting this, and I liked how they were willing to shoot inside their home, as well as some other not-so-standard locations.  I think these kind of “environmental” portraits really bring back the memories years down the road because of the familiarity of the surroundings.  Plus, there’s zero chance another family will be using the same location for photos! (This happened to me recently at a number of different popular parks in Orange County).  This turned out to be one of my favorite family portraits of all time.  Enjoy.

peca-1I say put the kid in a position he is always in all the time anyway!

Merry Christmas Everyone!  Put the computer away and GO spend time with your family.

Meet Little Abby

My big sis Pam and her husband took some family portraits on Thanksgiving (my birthday!) and I’m just getting around to posting them.  Her daughter Abby is so adorable you will instantly forgive her for grabbing your nose or glasses, which she does to everyone.  I have tons of photos of Abby, but very few with both mom and dad.  Here are some of my favorites:
