Lindsay & Zach ~ Wedding Day

Lindsay & Zach were married July 25, 2009 and the location was at the Westlake Village Inn. This was a crazy, fun wedding! Anytime you have a total of 20 people in the bridal party, you're bound for some fun. There was so much excitement going on all of the time, that it made capturing "real moments" very easy!

So many aspects of this wedding were unique. One of them is that all of the bridesmaid's dresses were handmade by the Maid of Honor, Shannon. Apparently she was up until the wee hours on Saturday morning finishing her own dress! I'll post more images of her work soon...

Callie & Brad - Pasadena, Ca

Here are some images from a recent wedding I photographed on July 18th. Callie & Brad were married at the Athenaeum @ Cal-Tech in Pasadena. Callie looked amazing, with an old Hollywood look & appeal. The wedding ceremony was held indoors to save guests from the 100+ degree heat! Of course the evening reception in the courtyard was amazing. A couple of my favorite images are the ones of Callie gazing into Brad's eyes during their first dance.

Monica & Tom, Santa Monica

Here's a favorite image from a recent wedding! I photographed Monica & Tom's wedding June 28th in Santa Monica.

Maddy's 1st Haircut

Today was a special day for my son Maddy. My wife and I took him to Lollicuts on Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana. It was definitely time to cut into those precious locks... mainly so he could see clearly! Everyone was highly impressed that he was so well behaved and happy, but that would've been because he was sitting in a Porsche!

Photographer & Bride

Here is an image of myself and a good friend Suzi. I had the privilege of capturing her wedding day!

Jen & Jian, Wedding Day

So after months of planning and countless details.. the big day finally came! And boy did it come! The Ceremony was held at Neighborhood Church in Palos Verdes Estates and the reception at Trump National across the peninsula.

I couldn't have asked for better circumstances: beautiful people, an amazing day and no expense spared. I can't begin to describe how much fun I had photographing this wedding and working with these amazing people. Throughout the entire process, I really was able to get such a great sense of how important love and friendship are to Jen & Jian.

Mary Dann and her team were on hand gently guiding things along. This type of wedding really shows Mary's abilities to have fun with her client's tastes and styles. The ballroom was simply gorgeous and floral displays from Hidden Garden were at every turn.

Please enjoy a few of my initial favorite images below!

Jen & Jian, Rehearsal

I'm so excited about this wedding tomorrow! I photographed Jen & Jian's rehearsal & dinner last night. The dinner took place at The Aquarium of the Pacific, in Long Beach. I always love photographing rehearsals because it gives me a great chance to get acquainted with everyone again (or for the first time). I really feel like I'm part of this group of family and friends now. Tomorrow's wedding will be the fourth event covered... not to mention the brunch on Sunday.

Mary Dann and her team were on hand to make sure everything went exactly to plan. The room looked amazing, and of course the gracefulness and beauty of the sea life added to the experience.
