Our clients are very special to us; they are more than clients. They are more than friends. They are family. And when you connect with people at such a high level it is easy to get caught up in the emotions of the moment.

Mika & Trevor are a blessing; the loving inspiration surrounds them.

We are truly grateful for being able to spend the day with them. At more than one point Julie and I had to hold back tears of joy and love for this beautiful couple.

We wish them health, wealth, love and a long happy life together… Oh; and of course lots of children.

Location, location, location… One of the coolest things about living in Los Angeles is being able to spend mornings in the mountains with the sunrise and afternoons at the beach with the sunset.

Either way exploring nature is far more fulfilling if you experience it with friends.
Micah and Jared showed us an amazing spot up on Mount Baldy. The sheer beauty and special meaning of this nature setting was prefect.
Their passionate and playful style combined perfectly with the shadows as they played on the rocks and the golden rays of morning sunlight washed them away.

The last time we photographed Shawna and Justin they were fun, outgoing, and open to a bunch of crazy ideas. They even got in the water with us.
Saturday we photographed a beautiful beach ceremony with the bride and groom surrounded by family and friends. It was a perfect expression of their love, personality and values… Shawna and Justin are truly loved by all that know them and we are honored to have been able to celebrate with them.
Oh… And yes at least half the bridal party got in the water.

Sunflowers have been revered for over 5000 years not just for their beauty but for their spiritual, medicinal, nutritional and economic values as well. They were used as religious symbols by the Aztecs, Otomi and Incas. And have long been a sign of life, wealth and fertility. Whether mystical or natural; the sunflower is a gorgeous choice for today’s brides.

When I first met with Brittany and Steven I was totally taken in as they explained their vision of the perfect wedding. Complete with satellite images of the property it was easy to see that this was going to be a spectacular wedding. And reality exceeded all expectations.

Every detail was amazing… right down to the sunflowers.
