I’m really excited because one of my most recent wedding couples (Janie and Hamid) were featured today in La Jolla Light – a newspaper from the San Diego, California area. Nicole (the author) did a great job of capturing Janie and Hamid’s wonderful story. And their story is truly unique (and romantic, I might add). When I’d read about how Janie and Hamid met on their wedding planning site – and how Hamid proposed – I couldn’t wait to meet them in person after they hired me to be their wedding photographer!

The story even featured several of my photos from their beautiful wedding overlooking the California coastline at Mt. Soledad Park.

Check it out! Click on the image of the story below to see their story:

. . . and here are a few pictures from Lindsey and Ken’s destination wedding at the Cabo Surf Hotel in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico . . . thanks, Lindsey and Ken for letting me play a small part in this amazing event!

You guys are the best!

I’m actually proud of myself – this is my second journal entry within a week! Based on my recent performance, that’s pretty good. Ha ha!

I recently traveled down to Mexico to photograph the wedding of Lindsey and Ken in San Jose del Cabo. What a beautiful place! And I loved that everything was so convenient. The wedding and reception were all held at the Cabo Surf Hotel – I would highly recommend this place to anybody. Oh, and if you go whatever you do make sure you don’t forget your complimentary “welcome” margarita – it’s one of the best I’ve ever had!

Another cool surprise was when a lady came up to me and just started chatting me up at the hotel. I thought she looked really familiar. I was later informed that the lady was Cloris Leachman. I knew she had been on a few TV shows, but when I checked out her resume I realized why she was so etched in my memory – she appeared on practically every TV show I watched as a kid (enter Love Boat theme here).

So, here are a few pictures from Lindsey and Ken’s engagement session. Those two were awesome! They were great models – whatever I asked them to do, they did it – such as lying in chilly Pacific water for some great beach shots . . . enjoy . . .

I cannot believe it has been almost three months since my last post.  Wow!  It has been a very busy Wedding and Lifestyle Photo Session season and I am glad to finally be able to sit down to share with you some of the stories from the wonderful people I have been meeting along the way over the past several weeks!

I promise to share with you some more pictures from my recent weddings . . . so, let’s begin with a wedding I photographed in Orlando, Florida for Stephanie and Billy.  They’re a great couple!  Both the Engagement Session and wedding took place in Orlando.  And the kids at their wedding were a riot – what great personalities!  Thanks, Stephanie and Billy . . . I look forward to getting together and getting some nice family shots when I see you soon! 

It’s been a while since my last post, I know.  Wedding season has left me without much time to breathe, much less stay on top of my BLOG entries.  Excuses, excuses, excuses . . .

However, I wanted to share a couple of candids from this past weekend’s wedding in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.  We had a BLAST!  And I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple from California, Lindsey and Ken.  I’m really looking forward to seeing them again soon – they were tons of fun to work with!

I’ll be sure to post some pictures from this gorgeous wedding, but in the meantime check out some pictures of me taken by my friend (and awesome wedding-day assistant), Juliet.  She captured these shots the day before the wedding – while I was photographing Lindsey and Ken at our pre-wedding photo session at Chilleno Bay.

Is this place gorgeous, or what?  And don’t even get me started on the food and margaritas!  Yummm . . .

This past weekend I photographed a beautiful wedding at the Don CeSar Resort in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was my first time to this famous Florida resort, although I’d driven by it several times in the past. It is a really beautiful hotel . . . my favorite part? It sits right on the beach! Niiice!

I photographed the wedding with a wonderful photographer from north Florida, Mary Beth Tyson.

Here are a few images from Saturday . . .

I recently shot a wedding for an awesome couple here in Orlando! Their names are Christina and Joe and every experience I had with them – whether it was shooting their engagement session, or shooting their wedding – was an absolute blast!  They’re a very funny couple (of course, it helps that we share the same twisted sense of humor)!

I also included a picture of Christina’s sister (see third pic below!) in the event someone from a mascara company checks out this entry and is currently seeking a new spokesmodel – ha ha!

We had a great time!  Here are a few images from the big day! . . .

In a previous posting I mentioned that I was recently in New York City to photograph a wedding – an amazing wedding at what was undoubtedly one of the most stunning wedding venues I’ve seen in my life! The name of the venue is the Angel Orensanz Center. Built in 1849 it is the oldest standing synagogue in New York! It is also well known because it is the venue where Sarah Jessica Parker married Matthew Broderick.

The wedding was nothing short of stunning! The venue was obviously beautiful and everyone at the wedding was incredibly nice and welcoming. I was already friends with the mother of the bride because we had taken photography workshops together in Tuscany a couple of years ago.

I had a great time! Here are a few images from the wedding … enjoy …

I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post! Ugh! The squirrel in my last post is probably all grown-up and in his third year of ’squirrel’ med school!

It’s good to be back, though. You do, of course realize what a lack of blog posts means . . . I’ve been a busy, busy boy. And this case is no exception. With fall comes a relentless influx of photography jobs – and that makes me very happy! Any time I’m doing photography I am happy.

One of the more recent weddings I photographed was a fun couple from Indianapolis. They came to Orlando for a destination wedding. One of the cool(er) aspects of this wedding was the fact that some of the attendees were from a town in Indiana called West Lafayette. Those who are really “in the know” would know that West Lafayette is the home of Purdue University, home for my freshman year of college.

Midwestern people are, without question, some of the nicest people on the planet. And this wedding did nothing to discourage me from that point-of-view.

Here is one of my favorite images from the wedding – shot just seconds after Jason saw Deb in her wedding gown for the first time . . . very cool!

Again, I face the shame of not having delivered a blog entry in quite some time. Sorry. But, believe me it’s not for lack of effort. I’m a busy man these days!

This past weekend I photographed a wedding in Sarasota, Florida with fellow photographer, Heather Ahrens. We had a blast despite the intense Florida heat and humidity! The bride, groom and entire group were a lot of fun to be around! Here are a few images from the big day . . .

. . . enjoy . . .
