Julie and Tom Engagement

Saturday I went up to Venice and met up with Julie and Tom. I had such a good time hanging out with these two. They are CRAZY, both of them. Which is why they are so great together.

Check it out:














After a couple of pictures - we finally got kicked out of the sunglass booth

Jennifer & Zack Engagement

Saturday I cruised up to Pasadena and met up with Jennifer & Zack at the Huntington Library. What a cool place! I'd never been there and it was so much bigger than I had imagined.

These guys are so much fun and I had such a great time hanging out with them. They're getting married in September in Huntington Beach - I can't wait.

Craig and Natalie Engagement

Last night Craig and Natalie came over to my neighborhood in Orange. I had such a great time with them. Too great in fact, because we almost got arrested. We were fortunate that the sheriff let us off with just a warning.

You can tell they are totally into each other. I'm really looking forward to the wedding!









You can see the sheriff's car pulling up on the left

Teresa & Ray Engagement

Yesterday I spent some time in Long Beach with a super cool couple shooting an engagement session. We started out at the Japanese Gardens at Cal State Long Beach and then headed to downtown.

I am really looking forward to their wedding in July.

Meghan & Rick Engagement

I spent the day yesterday with Meghan and Rick in Frazier Park at the top of the Grapevine. Rick's aunt and uncle were so gracious to let us shoot in and around their house.

What a beautiful and cold day. So much fun!



Their long driveway had so much snow, Rick's uncle needed to give us a lift






Meghan wanted the feel of a J.Crew catalog shoot
















The last stop on the way home we went in this huge open field, and then got kicked out. We got some great shots so it was worth it!

Cat & Dan

This morning I met up with my friends Cat and Dan at the Montage in Laguna Beach. I don't do very many engagement sessions in the morning, but it turned out to be a perfect day.

Cat and Dan are such a cool couple. Their goofier sides definitely came out while shooting today.











This boy was very curious about what Cat & Dan were doing in this cave


They just finished watching The Karate Kid and were inspired

Kristina & Sean

Here are a couple of pics from my engagement shoot with Kristina and Sean. We had a good time shooting at Balboa. They are such a great relaxed couple and will be getting married in January. I'm looking forward to being with you in January.

Getty Engagement

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at The Getty museum in Los Angeles with Catie and Leon. The combination of amazing architecture and a cool couple for such a nice Sunday.

I'm really looking forward to shooting their wedding in October at the Omni hotel in downtown LA.

Kate & Chuck Engagement

Yesterday I followed Kate and Chuck around LA. They are such a great couple and so much fun to spend the day with. I can't wait for your wedding day!








I love the Cowboy boots!

Gisele & Roy Engagement

Tonight we went down to the Montage in Laguna to do an engagement shoot with Gisele and Roy. I love shooting there because there are so many beautiful spots. But this spot was extra special because it's where Roy proposed to Gisele.

Gisele and Roy were so cute together and I can't wait to shoot their wedding in a couple of weeks!

















This is the bench where they sat after Roy proposed.

Naomie & Justin Engagement

Yesterday we had the joy of hanging out with our good friends Naomie and Justin. Since they are getting married this fall we decided to go down to the beach and shoot some engagement pictures.

I love these guys! They are so fun and great in front of the camera.

Kathy & Keith Engagement

Today I had set up to shoot an engagement session with Kathy & Keith down at the mission in San Juan Capistrano. I arrived early and found out that the swallows had just arrived that there were thousands of people here.

So we decided to shoot in Laguna Beach. I don't think I have ever had so much fun with a couple and I think the pictures reflect that. Thanks for being so cool guys.

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.

Melissa & Rich Engagement

J and I were down in San Diego again, this time with Melissa & Rich. I have known Rich since late elementary school, but haven't seen him in about 5 years. It was so great to reconnect with him and meet his fiancé Melissa. Melissa is from New Orleans and has an adorable southern accent. They are such a cute couple and we had a wonderful time spending the day with them. They'll be getting married in December in Hawaii. Congratulations guys!

Nikki & Brian Engagement

J and I had the pleasure of shooting Nikki and Brian down in San Diego a couple of weekends ago. I have to say guys, we had so much fun with you two! It was an absolutely beautiful day and there were so many great spots to take pictures.

Can't wait for the wedding you guys, I know it's going to be another beautiful SD day.

Mindy & Nick Engagement

I had such a great time with Mindy & Nick shooting at a regional park in Coto de Caza. They were a little shy at first, but warmed up quickly.

Two days later I bumped into them while picnicking at the Fullerton Arboretum. Random.

I'm so excited for your wedding guys!
