It was a small, simple, elegant ceremony with only close friends and family. I had a really fun time shooting the couple and their family as they got ready, got married, and had the reception. Everybody was relaxed and just really excited to be there. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

It was a wonderfully casual affair, with the ceremony held at Balboa Park in San Diego and the reception in the couple’s backyard a short ten-minute drive away. It was a beautiful sunset for the ceremony and a beautiful evening/night for the reception. Enjoy the pics!

(I’ll be posting pics from the wedding in a few days.) It was a beautiful evening and Balboa Park offered a huge variety of different locations to work with. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do!

The location was quite stunning, with mountains as a backdrop and fields of lavendar in bloom serving as the immediate foreground. The setting sun completed the milieu perfectly, and all I had to do was choose when to click the shutter. It was a great session, and I’m extremely happy with the results. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in October near Coronado. Until then, enjoy the pictures below!

And the view was spectacular! Enjoy the selection of images below!

Sara and Mike were married at St. Denis Church in Diamond Bar, CA and had their reception at the Glendora Country Club in Glendora, about 20 minutes away. Incidentally, St. Denis is the same church where Andrea and I were married exactly 6 months ago to the day, so it was nice to be back in the church shooting another lovely couple’s wedding. I had so many favorite shots from this wedding, it was really hard to narrow it down to the selection below. Thank you, Sara and Mike, for being so laid back and fun to work with. Your wedding was beautiful and I wish you all the best in your life together. Enjoy the pics!

On Tuesday I shot an absolutely fantastic engagement session with Mika and Wes at their wedding site, the Hotel Maya in Long Beach. The location was great, with lots of colors and inspiration, and the lovely couple was totally willing to try out all my ideas. I couldn’t be happier with how the pics turned out! Please enjoy some of my favorites below.

Don’t usually post two versions of the same picture on this blog, but in this case I thought they were so different (plus, I couldn’t decide which one I liked better!) that I might as well.

David and Mendy were married at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga before a small group of friends and family. Mendy was radiant in her gown and David was as proud and happy as a groom can be. I really enjoyed shooting this wedding, and I hope you enjoy these shots. Happy Valentine’s Day!

We went to a local neighborhood park first, got some shots there, and then went to Harveston Hill where there was an absolutely beautiful sunset happening over the lake. Anita and Jason were really fun and adventurous and I can’t wait for their wedding in May!
