For my first engagement session of 2012, Nikki, Ren and I headed to the University of San Diego's Geisel Library to start off the day. We had fun with the sun (and cold) but weathered through and then headed to La Jolla Shores to round out the session.
Loved this one with Courtney and Blake, I had one of my favorite engagement sessions with them last year and their wedding didn't disappoint. The getting ready and the reception was held at the Hyatt Mission Bay in San Diego and their ceremony was held at the Immaculata on the University of San Diego campus. I had just photographed Blake's sisters wedding the month before, so to see the same families again was definitely a treat. Thanks to the always awesome Maria Maltseva and Kim Marcelo for helping me with the wedding.

My engagement session with Cindy and Mark was a dope one, they travel a lot together, so they wanted to theme out their session with a place near and dear to their hearts, the airport. We got to go onto the tarmac of San Diego International Airport and watching the planes takeoff and land that close was definitely an experience. I want to thank the staff of SAN for being so accommodating to us, they were just as excited about the shoot as we were!
Oh man, one of my favorite couples of the year to go along with one of my favorite weddings. You might remember Leigh and Steve from their engagement session, well now I bring you their awesome wedding. It was all located in downtown San Diego, starting off at the Hotel Solamar for their getting ready shots and first look. We then headed to East Village in downtown to the Ultimate Skybox for the wedding. A big thanks to Asha Maura of Digs Studio for flying over and shooting with me.
Steve wrote his vows on this giant heart, which was a nice suprise for Leigh.
My assistant Kim always rocks the long exposures.

A few weeks ago, the Zamora's came down from the Bay area to soak in the SoCal shine, but the day before their shoot, they brought the rain from NorCal. However when it cleared the day of their session, they brought the epic clouds that I wish would show up everytime I venture out with my camera. We met up in Coronado for the family portraits and amazingness ensued, enjoy.
