A fun one a few months back with one of my favorite couples, April and Joseph. You might remember them from their music themed engagement, now they're back for the music themed wedding. We started off at the Embassy Suites in Glendale for their first look, then headed over to Brand Park for a few more portraits. St. Bernard's church in Los Angeles housed their ceremony and the LA River Center and Gardens their reception. Thanks to Mary Frances of Floataway Studios for shooting with me.
It's been a long time since I've blogged and I'm getting back in the habit. A full season flying back and forth from San Diego and NYC has taken its toll on my social media, but this should be a fun way to get the ball rolling. A few months ago I went to San Francisco to photograph a bridal session with a friend of mine Rita and her husband Chad. They got married in Bora Bora so they wanted to get some portraits done in San Francisco where they reside. Rita and I have been friends since high school and we got into the wedding industry at the same time, me with photography and her with makeup. She is an extremely talented makeup artist, so brides if you are in the San Diego or San Francisco area, definitely check out her work.
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.

Started off my 2012 wedding season with Linda and Aleksander in Los Angeles. They had a low key affair which was a lot of fun for me, just portraits and a party, what can get better than that? We started off at the Standard hotel then headed off to the Caltrans building in downtown Los Angeles to take advantage of the downtown views and awesome architecture. Then we headed off to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for dinner and dancing, enjoy.
Heres a fun wedding at the Hotel Maya to celebrate the big day for Marjoriemay and John. We started off at the hotel for the getting ready, then headed to St. Anthony's for the ceremony, then with a major break before portrait time, Joe (of Joe+Kathrina weddings) and I decided to partake in a little sangria action. Haha, that set the mood of right! We then went off and partied with May and John all night. A big thanks to the team from Bellz & Whistlez for coordinating such a gorgeous wedding day, enjoy!
