Asya & Richard - San Buenaventura

I've been really excited to post Asya & Richard's magical day! This is just a "sneak peak" of their beautiful wedding in Ventura!

Lauren & Steven - Engagement Session -The Arboretum - Arcadia

Let me start off by saying that Lauren & Steven are 2 of the most sincere and sweet people I have ever met! They are both hard working and dedicated school teachers (which we could use more of) in the Corona area. We originally met at a coffee shop in Long Beach back in February and got to know each other for several hours. We then sealed the deal for their upcoming wedding this month on the spot! Lauren & Steven decided they wanted their engagement session to be shot at the Arboretum in Arcadia. Weather wise...I believe it was one of the hottest days we've had all year. Steven wore an extremely sharp black suit and Lauren was so daring and wore her beautiful wedding gown a month 'before' her wedding day. What troopers! They were unstoppable and didn't hold back in any of their images! They were very easy to shoot and needed very little direction. We had a wonderful time and we joked and laughed while being driven around in a golf cart by one of the grounds supervisors. I would also like to give a special shout out to Lauren's Mom, Mrs. Rosenwald, for all of your help and attention to detail! Thanks Lauren & Steven, I had a blast and I can't wait to photograph your special day later this month!

Romance in the Sea of Cortez

I am back home from one of the best vacations I have ever been on! If you haven't had the chance to visit Cabo San Lucas, Mexico - I highly recommend that you take the quick 2 1/2 hour flight South and check it out for yourself. It was the perfect setting to document Melanie and Jarrett's love for each other. I was given the amazing pleasure of shooting Melanie and Jarrett's engagement session in the beautiful setting of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. How cool is that!! : ) Thanks so much guys for your trust in me and for being such a fun and fantastic couple to shoot!!! Cabo is one of the most magical places on earth and it is one of Melanie and Jarrett's very special places. We had so much fun running around town and getting all these amazing shots. The love between Melanie and Jarrett is a special one and I am so honored to share with you what they have taught me.
