Courtney & Jeremiah - March 17 Wedding

Yesterday I had the great pleasure to 2nd shoot for the first time for Erin Sullivan. I met Erin while we attended Mike Colón's 4-day intensive seminar last year and I've been wanting to shoot with her since.

The weather was great in Pasadena and the reception site was beautiful. The Maranatha Campus is surrounded by lots of green and huge trees that provided awesome open shade. I love the warm colors you get as a result when you have that combination.

Now to some photos:





















The ring bearer... No! He wasn't posing for the camera, I saw him sitting like this and I shot him.

COUNTDOWN TO JANE & DERRICK'S W-DAY

Fun Engagement Session in Laguna Beach

I couldn't go to sleep without posting a few quick shots from earlier today. I met Jane and Derrick in downtown Laguna Beach to shoot their engagement session.
They are getting married in April and I can't wait to shoot their wedding.

Of course they couldn't resist getting into the red phone booth


After walking around downtown we went to the beach for a different look.
It was pretty cold out there but the guys (specially Jane) braved the low temperatures and the difficult geography to get all kind of great images
Looking sharp guys!


Derrick is about to fly on this shot

Marisa & Andy - Long Beach Engagement Session

The day started early at Miguel Pola's studio where I met a group of photographers and a consultant to talk about our businesses. Right after that we grabbed a quick lunch and drove to Downtown Long Beach where we met with Britney from Britney Photography and Marisa & Andy to shoot some photos around town.

We had some time left so we ended the day shooting at Britney's awesome studio



Thanks Greg Bumatay for the invitation!

"Stay classy, San Diego."

I was in San Diego meeting with a couple of brides-to-be and I made some time to go to the downtown and marina area to shoot some photos. I love this city!









The USS Midway (CV-41), now a museum ship


It reads:
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SAILORS
WENT TO SEA AND FOUGHT IN WORLD WAR II, PERHAPS
THE MOST SINGULAR UNIFYING EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE YOUNG AMERICANS SET ASIDE THEIR INDIVIDUAL
HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS, LEFT FAMILIES, HOMES AND JOBS IN
A COLLECTIVE SACRIFICE TO DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY
AND THEIR COMMON IDEAS. THE MEN OF THE
USS SAN DIEGO (CL-53) REMEMBERED HERE
ARE EMBLEMATIC OF ALL WHO FOUGHT FOR VICTORY
IN THIS EPIC STRUGGLE.

Wedding: Gabriela and Gerardo
