industrial inspiration

Brenda and I had an idea, an idea for a shoot to bring back the old school esthetic while melding it with the modern. Our ideas came to fruition with an amazing team of wedding vendors in San Diego. I'll focus mostly on the portraits in this post, as we have a great feature from Every Last Detail which showcases the details.

michelle + armand / puerto rico shakin

A few months ago I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in San Juan, Puerto Rico with the awesome Michelle and Armand. They hail from New Jersey and wanted to have a destination wedding in Puerto Rico and I was more than happy to help capture their memories. The sun, the sand and the food are definitely reasons for me to add Puerto Rico to my vacation destinations. We rocked the La Concha Resort and went around Old San Juan for some day after portraits as well. A big thanks to Uyen Vo for 2nd shooting and also check out the feature on Perfect Bound Blog from this wedding. Also, feel free to watch the slideshow of the wedding day at the end of the post.

anne marie + JT / bay bombing

I flew up to the bay last year to photograph the wedding of Anne Marie and JT in Walnut Creek. The bridal party rolled around town in some sweet classic cars provided by the Bay Bombs Car Club, so you knew this wedding was going to be hot. We started the getting ready shots at the Renaissance Club Sport then went off to St. Anne's Church. We finished off the evening with the reception held at Shadelands Art Center where we kicked off the party old school. A big thanks to Bay Area photographer Delbarr Moradi for 2nd shooting with me, check out her blog post on the wedding to see some amazing details. View the wedding slideshow at the bottom of the post.

carolyn + todd / wedding day

A few weeks ago, I headed down to Mexico to the beautiful Adobe Guadalupe Vineyards for the wedding day of Carolyn and Todd. An intimate wedding nestled in the mountains, great wine with great people, this was definitely a memorable wedding. A big thanks to Marissa Rodriguez and her husband Eddie for shooting along with me. Slideshow of the wedding is at the end of the post.
