I can’t wait to photograph Shina & Soumitra’s wedding this August! We had the best time together shooting this engagement session around Santa Monica, starting with a little more formal look at The Huntley, and getting casual (and soaking wet, sorry Soumitra!!) on the beach.

Mia is one of my oldest and dearest friends (we used to walk to school together!). When she asked if I would photograph her wedding, I was touched. When she told me it was going to be in Hawaii I screamed! Mia & Sylvain’s amazing wedding consisted of exactly 8 people. While big ballroom weddings are fun, there’s nothing like an intimate, casual wedding with just a few of your closest friends. The day was absolutely perfect, starting with the boys hanging by the pool and the girls chilling in Mia’s room getting hair & make up done. The ceremony was on a very private and secluded beach, which we never even found out the name of.  Pastor Harold Kilborn, who performed a fantastic ceremony, suggested this spot and he was right to keep it secret. It wouldn’t have accommodated much more than 15 people and was pretty much heaven on earth, I mean check out that view!!! Back at the Ko’a Kea resort for cocktails and dinner at their amazing restaurant Red Salt was divine. The next morning we were all looking at each other saying “It really couldn’t have been a more perfect day!”. Congratulations Mia & Sylvain! I love you both and am so happy for you. XOXO

There is nothing better then watching our clients families grow. We shot Kim & Jawsh’s wedding at Shutters on the Beach back in 2005, and we’ve shot all their family events since. Starting with Noah and now Micah, they are one beautiful and amazing family.

When fellow photographers ask me to photograph their family, I am more than honored. When our good friends Cat & Adi from Next Exit asked me to come to the hospital to photograph their newborn, how could I say no? He was the perfect little man, snoozed the entire time and I think I managed to get a couple of great shots. We asked them to come over to the studio a week later to get a few more shots of him and big sis Clara. Below is a sampling of both sessions.
