Lake Forest, CA: Pablo & Nicole got married last August. Pablo wanted to surprise Nicole on her birthday with a fabulous wedding album so he asked me to put something together. After a few edits we finalized the album and sent it out to get printed and bound. When the box arrived at my door, I was so excited to open it. I love seeing my work printed and the album exceeded my expectations. Congrats to Nicole & Pablo and a big happy 24th Birthday to you Nicole!
Newport Beach, CA: Valentine’s Day is a great time to remember someone you love and to get engaged. Marcus & Jennifer one-upped the romance by getting married on Valentine’s Day. It was a small wedding with only immediate family and a few very close friends. They got married on a gondola in Newport Harbor. It was the first time I ever shot anything like this. After the brief ceremony, we went on a sunset gondola ride through the harbor. The weather was perfect and they ended the night at Joe’s Crab Shack, eating and drinking the night away with all there love ones. It does not get much better then this.

Better late then never. This is my “Best of” for 2009 slideshow. It ’s a compilation of my favorite photos from 2009. If you have been following my blog, these images will be very familiar to you.
Each wedding and engagement session I try to push myself to be better than my last. In 2009 I felt like I accomplished that and grow is so many areas of my business. Some of my accomplishments this year was joining both the WPJA & AGWPJA, winning an award for my work from the WPJA, and moving from part-time to full-time wedding photographer. The good and bad news is I still have a lot of room to grow and look forward to 2010 with the same kind of passion and desire to perform at my best.

As a professional wedding photographer, there are many organizations you can join. Some take any photographer while others are very selective on who they allow to become “members”. I just received an email a few days ago from the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (AGWPJA) saying that I qualify to be part of there elite organization of wedding photographers. I did not think they would accept me and honestly thought it might be a mistake…. in my favor
. Anyway you slice it, I am excited to be part of this group. Several of my colleagues are members of the AGWPJA (Jason Q. Tran, Erwin Darmali, and Ed Atero) and they are the reason I even applied. You can find my listing on this page…I am way at the bottom. Now I need to work my way up the list and start making some award winning images. Anyone want to help me? If you are one of my clients, this is what I am shooting to do…to make the best images.

San Marino, CA: Shika & Darren meet me at the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena. Shika & Darren both have year passes to the gardens and it was worth it. It’s just amazing how much there is to shot I didn’t want to stop. Shika & Darren were the ideal couple… beautiful, natural, easy-going, fun, friendly… what more could you ask for. I can’t wait to shot there wedding (Shika told me about the ceremony and it is going to be exciting).
