I need to thank Cecilia + Tony for a few things. First they reignited my love for Disneyland when they had their engagement session at the park. Now I’m an annual passholder and just a tad obse...
I love when my couples find awesome locations. The extra legwork always pays off with images that make me swoon. Irice and Jerwin decided on using a waterfall in Pasadena as their backdrop. The only ...
This is the third year I’ve photographed the Golden family. Years ago I used to work with Angel when I was a graphic designer, and they are one of the few families I work with every year. It...
I met Victoria years ago, while I was a graphic designer and she worked as a freelance writer for FIDM. Victoria was always a sweet, fashionable, laid back person with a constant smile on her face. S...
I’m a little scared to write this post, but I wanted my couples to know that yes, I photograph family sessions. But I’m not a “family photographer”. I follow my couples, start...
It’s been months since I’ve second shot a wedding. I was really missing it. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a main photographer…but being a second photographer kinda feels li...
I have a confession. I’ve never seen the Bucket List movie. But since it’s came out, I’ve created hundreds of mini-bucket lists on napkins and note pads. Whenever I see something am...
Hanging out with Sara and Bryant is just plain fun. It might of helped that we spent the afternoon running around Disneyland. Nah, they would be fun just about anywhere. These two met years ago and h...
Cat and Alex are fun, always laughing, loving people. We quickly discovered a mutual love for food and bad jokes. They are also the people that introduced me to dumplings and vinegar/soy sauce. I wil...
Lately, I’ve been referring to the people I bring with me on a wedding day as “my team”. With our forces combined, we are a power to be reckoned with. Kinda like Captain Planet, but...
For Rachel and Andrew’s engagement session, I did something a little different. They wanted photos near their new house and on a hill overlooking downtown LA, so I just showed up and we explore...
Diana and Andrew are getting married this May, and when we started talking about an engagement session…I got the feeling that they just wanted to have fun. Engagement sessions are fun, but I kn...
Wanna know my almost-favorite-holiday? St. Patrick’s Day. But it might just be because I think every party is to kick off my birthday celebration. For reals. I haven’t had to plan a party...
A few weeks ago I met up with Gretchen + Chadi at the Pasadena City Hall. Boy…Chadi and Gretchen kept me laughing. I think I even threw in a good snorts for good measure. Between jokes of Zoola...
I met Christine + Marc only 4 weeks ago. We sat down at Native Foods and talked about cameras, planning a wedding in less than 3 months, keeping things simple and their love story. It only took a few...
I gave Jessica and Josh a challenge: since they are so awesome and unique, I gave them the challenge to make their engagement session just as awesome and unique. I told them to find something they ha...
I always want to remember this point in my life and career. I’m usually a very happy person while I’m working, but lately I’ve realized that the people I’ve been working with ...
Today I’m heading out to Nevada with about 1 million other wedding photographers {it’s a rough estimate based on hours of math equations} for a conference called WPPI. Last year I manage...
This engagement session was an adventure. During our first meeting, Annika and Ryan mentioned that they met randomly at Annika’s family cabin in Big Bear. In my mind, I was jumping at the idea...
Today will be a casual Friday if you will. Kinda like when you’re allowed to wear jeans to the office…and your boss shows up in something from the 90′s. It might be awkward, but just let ...
Earlier this week I blogged about Cory + Jerika, and since the shoot had two couples (multitasking anyone?), I gotta show the other half! Ben + Ashley are two really good people that I have the pleas...
It’s super rare when I book a wedding without meeting the couple. Other than the obvious excuse to go out to eat, I really like to know who I’m spending time with and really want to get a...
A few weeks ago Cory, Jerika, Ben, Ashley and Niall met up in Laguna to have an afternoon of shooting and hanging out. The main goal for me was to shoot more film. But more importantly than to just s...
A few weeks ago I spent the day with Leah and John in Manhattan Beach. Normally January is a hit-or-miss time of year weather wise, but John and Leah had luck on their side. Actually, the entire day ...
For photographers, wedding photographers especially…December and January is lovingly known as our off-season. I consider myself lucky that I did have some amazing weddings in the last few month...
Where do I start? First, you may have already seen a little bit from Jenna + Matt’s Wedding…film style. Second, Jenna is the type of girl that is creative, sweet, organized and again-fric...
Today I’m super excited because I get to share the latest video that Kiera + Josh of Jakfoto Films created for Mike and Natalie’s wedding day. I loves it. You can find their blog post her...
Meet Catherine + Alex. They love food, messing with each other and basically being big kids at heart. We spent the afternoon laughing and playing in Downtown LA and Chinatown. Oh and did I mention th...
2011 was the year that my life changed for the better. I managed to work in 7 states, be on creative live, meet the 8 people that will forever be in my photo family (JD + Jasmine - Friendship bracel...
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! For me, I spent the time with family mostly…and worked in a little relaxing. For me, relaxing is playing Skyrim and watching an insane amount of TV shows ...
