This past Saturday, I was fortunate enough to second shoot for Joe Photo. It was such a cool experience being able to work along side such an accomplished photographer and a true rockstar to boot. He’s infamous for his sense of style and fashion and it was great to witness it first hand. It was such a beautiful day up in the hills of Pasadena and I was thrilled to shoot another wedding at the Ritz-Carleton.

Joe is one of the most recognized names in the wedding industry and I’m glad to say that I learned a bunch from him…and hopefully he’s able to use some of my shots :) He also has a blog that he updates on a daily basis with everything from his work to inspirational stories. Definitely worthy of a bookmark or an RSS subscription.

Thanks Joe!

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Santa Barbara for Devon and Stephen’s wedding. The ceremony took place in the breathtaking Mural Room of the Santa Barbara Courthouse. With all the art on the walls, it reminded me of the Sistine Chapel, you’ll see below. The reception that followed was at Restaurant Nu just a few blocks away. By the way, the food was Awesome! It was all in the middle of downtown, so the scenery was very cool. Thanks to Olivia Guerra, who was so cool to work with and did a great job of making everything just right. Besides being such brilliant people (lawyer and doctor), Devon and Stephen are just so super nice and down to earth. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them…Congratulations to you both!

Time to say the Vows.

We took a bunch of shots by this awesome tree right outside. The light there was fabulous, too!

Devon, with the girls.

Some veil action!

The new couple.

Gimme a kiss!

We met up with Jasmine and Nick last Friday in Newport Beach for their engagment photos. It was cold and overcast but the light was beautiful. I was a little worried when we got to the beach because the sun was disappearing pretty quickly but the light coming through the dark clouds was just awesome. We had a fun time walking around the main street of Balboa Island, which is a cool small area, and worked our way down to the water. Their wedding is coming up so fast, next month, it will be at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club. Beautiful and so close to home, I love it! Some favs:
