Heres a fun shoot I got to do last week with Julie and Andy! Julie is a fellow photographer out of Seattle and was visiting New York with her husband Andy, which happened to coincide with their one year wedding anniversary. So it was definitely an honor to photograph their anniversary session in Brooklyn, on what was probably one of most gorgeous days you can ask for. DUMBO provided the backdrop for this awesome couple, can't wait to hang with them in Seattle, enjoy.
nikki + ren / back to school
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.
courtney + blake / under the stars
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.

mike baker / the bike maker
Last week, I headed up to Queens for an impromptu shoot with rapper Mike Baker the Bike Maker. I had been wanting to do a series on friends of mine who are in the creative field and to observe them in their element. So I went over to hang at his apartment that he shares with his gal Drea, or to whom I lovingly refer to as Cheddar Bay Chuck, haha. So when we weren't cracking up at whatever Mike and Chuck were doing, I got some cool shots in as well as portraits with Mike and Drea together because hey, I gotta show off the love.
linda + aleksander / wedding day
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.
