Joanna & Alvin Engagement

Yesterday J and I went to Long Beach to shoot an engagement session with Joanna and Alvin. We started out at CSULB, they both are going to school there, and then ended up by the Aquarium of the Pacific. Joanna and Alvin are such a great couple to shoot and as you can see from the pictures they are really into each other.

Check out the slideshow with more images.

Playing Around in Wine Country

I thought I would post a couple more images I shot while in Solvang wine country.

Picture in the Malibu Times

In November I shot a nonprofit benefit for Chrysalis in LA. Today I found an image of mine was included in an article in the Malibu Times.

Wine Tasting

My good friend Blake Schwendimann invited me to join a group of guys from his church to go wine tasting in the Solvang area. I had such a great time with you guys and I managed to grab a few photos.

I don't know why but I just loved this door.




This wine was so good that I just had to buy a bottle.

She smelled every bottle she opened - I think she loves her job!

What a great place for a bachelorette party - check out the size of her glass.


We ate like kings all weekend.





Blake is very serious about his wine

Naomie & Justin

While at Kate and Davids wedding I snapped a couple of pics of our friend Naomie and her boyfriend Justin. They are look so great together and were so comfortable in front of the camera. It was so good to see you guys, I hope we can get together soon.

Santa Barbara Weekend

J and I spend the weekend in Santa Barbara for our friends' Kate and David's wedding. As always Santa Barbara was gorgeous and we had a great time hanging out with great friends. Kate's dad and sister are both professional photographers shot all of the formals. A great photographer and good friend from OSP Chris Humphreys shot the ceremony. You can check out some of his images on his Blog.

J created the girls bouquets as well as the table centerpiece. She constantly blows me away with her creativity and style. Here's a link to her floral work.

Congratulations you guys! Kate you looked absolutely beautiful!
