Jon + Monique : Roche Harbor | San Juan Islands, WA

Another “non-working” wedding shot with a Canon 7D and 50mm lens… This time a Fall union in Washington State on the beautiful San Juan Islands. The ceremony of close friends Jon and Monique took place outdoors in Roche Harbor over the Memorial Day Weekend complete with hiking, boating, yacht parties, an annual Memorial Day Ceremony, and local debauchery with the townies. Blessed with FANTASTIC sunshine in normally dreary northwestern weather, a picture perfect wedding… All the best to you Jon and Mo!

Yona + Sam: Wright Ranch | Malibu, CA

Well it was really nice to be able to attend a wedding without the stresses of work. Yona and Sam had a fantastic celebration with family and friends here in Los Angeles, and hosting some of her family in my own home, I was invested in the matrimony in a refreshingly different capacity. Eventually what started off as a few casual snapshots of close friends quickly turned into the familiar trigger happy routine I was used to. Strapped with only a brand new 7D and a 50mm, I used the wedding as a field test and here are a few shots (and video) of that wonderful day. Congratulations Yona and Sam, I love you.

The Woods

Good friend and talented photographer Samuel Frost has been busy this week, working with regular clients while preparing for a gallery showing in Santa Monica. I filled in for him one day shooting some products for one of his clients, The Woods. A husband and wife team based in Culver City, they create PHENOMENAL made-to-order flower arrangements for weddings, events, and the entertainment industry. Their clients range from everyday moms to celebrities to high profile corporations. Here are just a few samples of their beautiful work for the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday, although photos do them no justice…

Vy + Jeff: Santa Monica Pier | Santa Monica, CA

Whats better than spending time with family? How about capturing the moments before a new life is born into that family. Here’s to a wonderful maternity session with my cousins in Santa Monica. We were chasing the light but it all worked out in the end thanks to a textbook California sunset.
