Santa Barbara Wedding

Terry and I had the opportunity to spend the day in sunny Santa Barbara at the Fess Parker Double Tree for Dennis and Julie's beautiful wedding. They are an amazing couple who exchanged vows on their 3rd anniversary. It was a small and intimate ceremony on the beach and it was a perfect day for it. We had a great time with them, their guests and especially Julie's 3 gorgeous children. Here are some shots from the day.


Here I am...hard at work!

Julie's Maid of Honor...her daughter Jade.

This groom's cake is by far the best we've seen! This was all Julie's idea.

Here's Terry hard at work...

Julie and her son, Caleb, who walked her down the aisle.

Engagement Session: Caitlin and Robert

I had the pleasure of working with Caitlin and Rob for their engagement session yesterday. They are an incredibly sweet couple who began dating in high school. He is a high school biology teacher and she works with the mentally disabled. They truly enjoy each other as you will see in every photo. This is the best part of being a photographer...catching an intimate glimpse of a couple so in love! Thank you to Al Ungar Photography for inviting me along on this shoot. We are looking forward to working with Al for Caitlin and Rob's upcoming wedding.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!

Renaissance Pleasure Faire 2009

Irwindale, Ca

"Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!"

What a great creed to follow! This past weekend my family and I took a trip to the fair after a two year hiatus. I had been going off and on for about 20 years or so and my wife and I first went together the day after our Junior Prom in High School (I'll plead the Fifth on how long ago that was!). It's a great event that's marked with hundreds of people (some guests, some volunteer actors) dressed up in renaissance-era garb, speak with an accent, and run around having a generally good time. The best part was the chance to photograph all the colorful costumes and interact with the characters.

The medieval way to hang out...

The Celtic band, "The Dread Crew of Oddwood". My son loved them.

You may go commando, but where would you keep your cell phone?
