This is my second wedding for the McAuliffe family. I had the privilege of photographing Tristyn's sister Harmony's wedding last year. One thing for sure, the girls are really easy to photograph. Cody and I had a blast working with these families and really like the pictures we got with the incredible location and lighting.Thanks for having us again.
The beauty of shooting at Griffith Observatory is that you have Griffith park right next to it. Laura and Greg were a bit concerned with the overcast weather, but as you can see, it makes for beautiful light when taking pictures. We had a great time moderately hiking through the hills and then finished up at the Observatory.
We were able to find some new spots in addition to some of my old favorites in Santa Barbara for this engagement session. Rachael and Matt were so easy to work with and I can't wait for their wedding in June. Thanks guys.
I love love love the UCLA campus. Amazing brick buildings and lots of greenery. Almost looks like an east coast college campus. Kristy and Rob were so mellow and easy going. Kristy looked great in her purple dress and Rob complimented her well. Love the way these turned out!!!
I find it comforting and also challenging to shoot in locations that I have been to before. The Getty, as you all may know, is one of my favorite spots. Having been there before, I tend to shoot in spots frequently. The challenge for me is to make each shoot unique and fun. That is what I love about my job. You can repeat so many things, yet try and succeed at making them look different and new. Olivia and David were great and willing to let me go with my artistic eye. Thanks guys.
Pasadena is a city where no matter where you go, there is a great spot to shoot. Sara and Ej were so easy to work with. They both seemed pretty nervous at first but by the time we ended the day, they were pros. Looking forward to their wedding in Malibu in August.
Spent the latter part of a day with Christen and Jeff in Santa Barbara which is another one of my favorite engagement session spots. Always so many great locations and always great lighting. Christen and Jeff were so easy to work with and made my job very easy.
Mandy and Adam are just a fun couple that are all about having a good time. They were surrounded by friends and family on their wedding day showing how much they are loved. The wedding day was perfect and we got some great photos.
This was a great opportunity for Julie and Mike to get not only their engagement pictures but also some family photos. We had a blast running around the beach exploring all the different spots to shoot at Leo Carrillo State Beach.
One of my favorite spots by far is the Getty center for Engagement pictures. Lots of great buildings and textures. Jill and Aaron are just a fun couple and they get each other and have a fun time just hanging out. The pictures show it.
What more romantic way to get married than on Valentines Day. Which is exactly what Danielle and Ryan did. They had a beautiful day with multiple locations and just overall a happy, loving couple.
Jen and Drew were my first wedding of 2010. What a great way to start the year. We had incredible weather and the couple had such a great time. They were a blast to work with. Looking forward to a full and exciting 2010.

Lisa and Steve were my final wedding of 2009 and what better way to end up then with an amazing couple at a beautiful venue. The day couldn't have been better. The weather was perfect. The bride and groom were perfect. Overall a wonderful wedding. Thanks for a great 2009 to all my Brides and Grooms. Also a huge thanks to my lovely wife Cody for supporting me through this tough year. You are my best assistant!!! Love you
Traci and John were married at the former home of Jack Warner of Warner Brothers. Jack was the producer of Casablanca hence the name of the property. This house used to also be a frequent vacation spot for Elvis. Pretty darn cool location. Traci and John were an absolute pleasure to work with and I think we were able to get some great shots for them on a warm October evening.
Jordan and Paul were married at the Luxe Hotel in Brentwood. A very trendy, hip hotel with lots of great locations for photographs. Their wedding was a lot of fun mainly because both families were very easy going and there to just have a good time. Thanks to all for a great day.
Allison and Roman are a perfect example of a couple that are just in love. Everything about them displays this. They are incredible people to be around and always smiling. It was a pleasure to photograph your wedding.
This was my third and final wedding at Bella Victorian in 2009. Each wedding was different and I was able to find familiar and unique places to get photographs for each wedding. Overall one of my favorite venues. Amy and Ryan were an absolute breeze to work with.
Yet another gorgeous wedding at Bella Victorian Vineyards in Camarillo. It is really hard to have a bad wedding at this location. Coupled with an amazing bride and groom, situations like this make my job easy. Thanks for a great day guys!
It was a sunny, warm California weekend when we went to the Getty Villla in Malibu for Lisa and Steve's engagement session. Awesome location with a great couple always equals a fantastic photo shoot. Had a blast at their wedding in November too. Stayed tuned for their wedding post soon.
