I went up to San Gabriel to shoot Ling and Ernest engagement session around the neighborhood of the San Gabriel Mission. It was a cool little area. We found a few door ways and some cool fountains to use. I must admit though I think Downtown San Juan Capistrano and Mission San Juan Capistrano is definately the “Jewel of The Missions”, I will see for sure because I booked a wedding at The Carmel Mission for next July!!! Enjoy the photos.

The Big Fat Greek Wedding, This was it in real life. It was so much fun being part of this wedding. We started at The Hyatt in Long Beach with the girls and guys getting ready and went to the ceremony at Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Long Beach followed by the reception back at the Hyatt. It was an awesome ceremony followed by an amazing portrait session then one of the most extravagant receptions I have ever seen. The party was great and check out the images below. Lucas and Tina were so much fun, wish we had a little more light to play with but we got some amazing images for them… ENJOY

Been almost a week since my last post. I had a friend from Nebraska visiting and wanted to see some sites. Always cracks me up how people from out of state want to go see all these places that we take for granted, with exception to Hollyweird. My buddy Mike and I were neighbors in the dorms at Denver University, while we attending The Art Institute of Colorado. Was great seeing him, now I must get caught up. I have 5 weddings to edit from the past 2 weeks. Here is Kara and Matt’s wedding. They were married at Pacific Edge Villa in Laguna Beach. It was an awesome day and we had a perfect tide and sunset for them, so happy when everything is in sync. Enjoy the photos and don’t forget to comment. PEACE

Last week i was asked to shoot some of my friends appetizers for a party he was catering. I love shooting food almost as much as eating it. The party was for the grand opening of Affaire de Coeur an antique store in the Antique section of The Orange Circle. It was an awesome event and Jeff from Jeff the Silent Chef had some awesome displays of his food. He went above and beyond to make everyone happy and full too. Below are a few sample of the food he displayed, and yes it is all edible!!!

Keith and April are getting married this Saturday. We’re glad we didnt wait till the last minute to shoot their E-Session. Ever since I moved my office to the Provincial Building in downtown San Juan CApistrano I have been shooting tons of sessions in the area and of course at Mission San juan Capistrano too. I love the charm of the area and my clients usually grab a bite to eat or a drink when we are done. Check out their session and don’t forget to leave a comment, you don’t have to register to leave one. PEACE
