Kara and Brian’s Engagement Session – China Cove

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.

karabrian_0027 Thanks so much Kara and Brian!  I look forward to your wedding in November.  You Gap ad models, you.

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.

Greg and Valerie’s West Coast Reception

You might recognize these two from their engagement shoot I did a while back.  They got married in Kentucky where Valerie’s family lives, and they held a beautiful reception in sunny Southern California.  I was not the official photographer, but I was a guest and I was giving my new Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS a chance to see some action.

Greg’s mom was my High School Spanish teacher, who was my favorite teacher of all time.  I can’t HABLAR like I used to, but I have many fond memories and she impacted us all for a lifetime.  Here she is standing next to the proud Father of the Groom.

We snuck away for a few minutes (literally) and grabbed a few portraits. buccolla_rec_0014buccolla_rec_0015buccolla_rec_0016buccolla_rec_0017

It snowed on their wedding day, so  these were the only sunny day shots they were able to get.  What a beautiful couple!
