a little sneak peek of jessica and mike’s engagement session from the weekend. they wanted to do something different from the norm for their session and asked me if we could head out to cabazon. cabazon? hmmm… it didn’t spark anything for me. “the dinosaurs”, they said. ohhhhh… like from pee wee herman’s big adventure?...

jamie & jay | trash the dress
from the day we first set up things for her wedding photos, jamie and i talked about doing a trash the dress session afterward. i can’t remember why the salton sea got thrown into the pot for the location, but when it did, we both agreed as whole-heartedly as people can… that was the place...
holiday mini sessions: personal faves | orange county family photograpy
as the holidays came around this year, i teamed up again with gillian from the write invite out of ladera ranch to run out some mini sessions for families. after the success and positive feedback from last year, it was kind of a no-brainer. this year, we had one day at the beach, and another...
jess & tommy | engagement photography
this session and couple (and wedding coming in october) is extremely special to me. i have known jess now for a few years, as we work together. she got stuck sitting at a shared cubicle with me a few years ago and she has put up with my tomfoolery as work neighbors ever since that...

this was a fairly interesting hiring. but one that i absolutely love. due to extreme budget constraints, rachael and her fiancee had to make some tough choices on their wedding day. one of the tougher ones was the realization that they just could not afford a professional photographer for the day. they ended up setting...

stephanie & david: san diego wedding
i love it when brides are referred to me through friends. it is nice to be selected out of nowhere, amongst the field of all of the options in southern california… don’t get me wrong. but when the trust of a friend extends to someone else and then they trust in me… it creates this...
karen & nick trash the dress
