Our offices will be closed until January 6th. We will answer phone calls and emails when we return. Have a wonderful new years everyone!

We had a blast shooting Sandra’s maternity session. She’s amazing and has not let this pregnancy slow her down in the least, she’s even been riding horses right up to the end! Such a trooper. We shot in her beautiful house that she completely gutted and remodeled. Between her modern design and Craig’s love of art, it was a very inspiring place to photograph. Check out this hot mama!

We’re so excited to be featured in the upcoming winter 2009 Southern California edition of The Knot magazine! We were the photographers for the most recent market party last September, which is featured on page 36. Our featured wedding was of Erika & Rob at Cafe Pinot, which you can find on page 80 of the magazine, or online here. Congratulations to Erika & Rob, and all the other vendors who made this such a fantastic day!

California has many historic missions, and we got to shoot in 2 of them within a month! Ann & Thomas were married in the beautiful Mission San Buenaventura with a reception following at the Spanish Hills Country Club. I believe Ann may be the tiniest bride we’ve ever photographed - her rings barely fit to the first knuckle on my pinkie, and her size 4 shoes had to be sized down!!! But she looked so stunning in her backless dress, I loved the lace detail on her shoulder. Her use of browns and golds in her color scheme really reflected the beautiful warmth of the mission they were married in.  I have to give a shout out to makeup artist Uzmee Krakovszki because she hung out until we got to the reception to make sure Ann’s hair and make up was perfect not only for all the photos, but for her grand entrance as well.  That’s dedication!  These two were so in love, the second they saw each other, you could literally see the sparks fly!

Nicole and Mike are perfect for each other. They really know how to goof around and have a good time. They wanted a beach session, but really liked the idea of a bonfire, too. So we combined both at Dockweiller beach, near LAX. They have a romantic side as well–Nicole relocated to LA from Hawaii to be with Mike while he’s stationed here. I’m really looking forward to shooting their wedding in February.

Lesley and Javier were married at the beautiful San Fernando Mission. It always inspires me to be shooting in places that have so much history, a rare thing here in California. Mariachi Los Madrugadores added so much to these beautiful grounds, and kept the party going as everyone moved to The Victorian for the reception. Lesley & Javier’s son Elijah was so adorable in his little tux! Congratulations guys!

Could this family be more beautiful? The bonus - they are as nice as they are hot. We had the best time hanging with Drew, Michelle, Gabriella & Gavian and getting some fun shots of them. BTW - Michelle is an AWESOME pilates instructor, in case anyone out there is looking for one.

I have the honor of photographing Lily every year (since she was in the womb!), and always have a great time with her. We just hang out, chat, play games and take some great photos. In my opinion, it’s the best way to spend an afternoon.
