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!
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!
A few months ago I went up to Livermore, CA for the wedding of Chi-Na and Jesse. You might remember them from our awesome engagement session we did in San Francisco. Their wedding was located at Murrieta's Well winery, great photographs along with great wine. But first we had to do a "first look" and since Chi-Na and Jesse were wearing both the traditional Korean hanbok as well as the formal dress and suit, we got two. So enjoy the photographs and always thankful for my great friend Megan Welker for shooting with me.
It's been almost two months since my last blog post, I made the move to Brooklyn from San Diego the week before Thanksgiving, so life has been insane! 2012 is going to be a crazy year, I'll be splitting time between New York and Southern California, so make sure to check my schedule to see where I'll be! With the holidays and flying back and forth between coasts, its been hard for me to get to the blog. but now that I'm settled in, its time showcase the latter half of 2011's engagements and weddings. So in honor of my move to New York, heres a gorgeous wedding that I did at Oheka Castle in Long Island with Laura and Tommy. The venue was gorgeous, the couple was classic, it was hard to stop snapping photos. A big thanks to Tim Ryan Smith who second shot for me and to B Floral for the gorgeous flowers.
Awesome photo by Tim, who conquered his fear of heights for the shot!
Back to Los Angeles for another engagement session, this time it was all about the music with April and Joseph. This couple has some amazing music taste along with being cocktail aficionados. We headed off to the Hollywood Bowl to catch some awesome sunrays, then hit up their favorite haunt in Hollywood, The Hotel Cafe where we let them be center stage.
