A few months ago I went up to Livermore, CA for the wedding of Chi-Na and Jesse. You might remember them from our awesome engagement session we did in San Francisco. Their wedding was located at Murrieta’s Well winery, great photographs along with great wine. But first we had to do a “first look” and since Chi-Na and Jesse were wearing both the traditional Korean hanbok as well as the formal dress and suit, we got two. So enjoy the photographs and always thankful for my great friend Megan Welker for shooting with me.

It’s been almost two months since my last blog post, I made the move to Brooklyn from San Diego the week before Thanksgiving, so life has been insane! 2012 is going to be a crazy year, I’ll be splitting time between New York and Southern California, so make sure to check my schedule to see where I’ll be! With the holidays and flying back and forth between coasts, its been hard for me to get to the blog. but now that I’m settled in, its time showcase the latter half of 2011’s engagements and weddings.
So in honor of my move to New York, heres a gorgeous wedding that I did at Oheka Castle in Long Island with Laura and Tommy. The venue was gorgeous, the couple was classic, it was hard to stop snapping photos. A big thanks to Tim Ryan Smith who second shot for me.
Awesome photo by Tim, who conquered his fear of heights for the shot!

Back to Los Angeles for another engagement session, this time it was all about the music with April and Joseph. This couple has some amazing music taste along with being cocktail aficionados. We headed off to the Hollywood Bowl to catch some awesome sunrays, then hit up their favorite haunt in Hollywood, The Hotel Cafe where we let them be center stage.

I love when my clients are architects, they can understand my love for equality. So when we started the session at Eric’s apartment, I knew it was a match made in heaven. Especially after seeing his old video game collection, man it brings me back to the good old days! After the apartment, we searched downtown Los Angeles for a view of the skyline and man, did we get lucky.

Oh man, one of my favorite couples of the year to go along with one of my favorite weddings. You might remember Leigh and Steve from their engagement session, well now I bring you their awesome wedding. It was all located in downtown San Diego, starting off at the Hotel Solamar for their getting ready shots and first look. We then headed to East Village in downtown to the Ultimate Skybox for the wedding. A big thanks to Asha Maura of Digs Studio for flying over and shooting with me.
Steve wrote his vows on this giant heart, which was a nice suprise for Leigh.
My assistant Kim always rocks the long exposures.

A few weeks ago, the Zamora’s came down from the Bay area to soak in the SoCal shine, but the day before their shoot, they brought the rain from NorCal. However when it cleared the day of their session, they brought the epic clouds that I wish would show up everytime I venture out with my camera. We met up in Coronado for the family portraits and amazingness ensued, enjoy.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in San Juan, Puerto Rico with the awesome Michelle and Armand. They hail from New Jersey and wanted to have a destination wedding in Puerto Rico and I was more than happy to help capture their memories. The sun, the sand and the food are definitely reasons for me to add Puerto Rico to my vacation destinations. We rocked the La Concha Resort and went around Old San Juan for some day after portraits as well. A big thanks to Uyen Vo for 2nd shooting and also check out the feature on Perfect Bound Blog from this wedding. Also, feel free to watch the slideshow of the wedding day at the end of the post.
