Santiago and Tirtzah – Santa Ana Wedding Photography

Santiago and Tirtzah have that sort of magic that everyone dreams of at their wedding. These two obviously are crazy about each other as evidenced by their engagement photo session we did a few months ago.  Their ceremony was at Waverly Chapel in Santa Ana, and the Reception was at Jason’s Downtown, also in Santa Ana.  The details turned out amazingly, and I really had a great time.

Check out their slideshow below, and the full gallery of all photos on my photo by clicking here.


Here are a few of my favorites…

Troy and Aimee – Strawberry Farms Wedding Photography

Troy is a great photographer in his own right, and I was shooting alongside celebrity wedding photographer Robert Evans, so I was a little nervous to say the least!  Robert amazed me with his calm attitude and willingness to teach while getting amazing photos and even some “fusion” video.  Robert has shot weddings for stars like Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston, to mention a few.

Troy and Aimee are two of the kindest people you will meet, and their wedding reminded my why I do what I do.  Their wedding was expertly decorated, executed and documented, while still retaining the true essence of matrimonial love and commitment that no wedding should be without.

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:
