Alex & Mike ~ Cont.

This is probably my favorite image from Alex's wedding. I photographed it using available light only. The entertainment was using roving dance lights that typically do me no favors when it comes to covering the action. Taking the flash off, amping the ISO up and shooting with a very fast lens can offer some edgy, sexy results.

Alex & Mike ~ Los Angeles, Ca

I photographed Alex and Mike's wedding on September 20, 2008. This was both a fun and unique wedding for me. The ceremony was at the San Fernando Mission in Mission Hills and the reception was downtown at the historic Biltmore Hotel.

From the beginning I have to say that I immediately clicked with Alex when I met her at my studio. Alex has a fun, carefree demeanor yet knows specifically what she wants... and I'm sure gets it most of the time :) Melissa Culp referred Alex to me and is a wonderful planner. She has the unique ability to stay calm during chaos... and still manage order. Melissa's website is: www.kaleidoscopeplanning.com.

Please enjoy a few of the images...


This is one of my favorite images of Alex and her mother...

Did I mention Alex has a playful side? You're a tiiiigggeerrr!

A Stunning image of a beautiful bride

Not every bride can pull off Blue Steel... it was my lucky day!

The moment every bride dreams about...

A quick image of the bride & groom

The Biltmore lends itself to a very classic, almost royal feel

Probably one of the most impressive ballrooms I've had the pleasure of photographing. Between the lighting, floral displays and overall grandeur... a sight to behold.

The view in front of the Bride & Grooms table

I don't typically get too excited about cake images... but I very much liked this one

Stacie, Studio

Here are some cool images of a client I recently photographed in my studio. Stacie has a natural feel for the camera and I'm very happy with the results!

Becky & Brian ~ Getty Center, L.A.

I did a really fun engagement session recently. I am photographing Becky and Brian's wedding this December... and as the images prove, they have great chemistry together! I personally always enjoy shooting at the Getty Center as it's a great mix of both architecture and greenery.

Danielle & Oscar ~ Los Angeles, Ca

I photographed Danielle & Oscar's wedding last Saturday. From the moment I showed up at her Suite at the Luxe it was pure fun! Danielle was literally ready to party. It's so freeing as a photographer to walk into an environment thats relaxed and equally full of energy. The ceremony & reception were close by at the Skirball Cultural Center. Please enjoy a few of the images :)



One of my favorite images of the day... the image speaks for itself.


This image of the bride & groom was photographed in the stairwell. Sometimes the most simple locations can provide the most captivating results.

This image is all about her expression. A very strong image...

This image was taken with available light only. Very impactful & dramatic... another one of my favorites.

Jenny & Justin, a few more

Here are a few more images from Jenny & Justin's San Francisco wedding in July... I love this first image especially! Justin stopped by the bride's room for a quick romantic gesture prior to the ceremony.
