Kathy + Mark at the Huntington Beach Hyatt

It was nice to be back at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa for Kathy and Mark’s wedding. Given that this place is so gigantic, there are so many cool places to shoot here. So, we had our share of inside and outside scenery. Their wedding had pretty much everything you could ask for! Great weather, great location, laughter, tears, great florals, great food, some photobooth action, a break dancing ring bearer and, last, but not least, IN-N-OUT for a midnight snack! And you can bet, we had some before going home :) Here are some highlights from the day.




















Back from S.F.

We just got back from San Francisco late last night (this morning, I guess) and we are pretty beat. We had a great wedding on Saturday and a fun engagement session on Sunday! It was such a cool change of scenery! With some sight seeing in between, it was a pretty jam packed weekend. I just wanted to share a few favorite pics of the little dudes from the trip. I just love their happy faces!!

 

And here is the usual flying shot for Nathan!

Have a great week to all!!

Randi + Austin’s Engagement Portraits

Finally got to shoot around the Artist Village in Santa Ana. Pretty cool place. But these two were hot. We met both Randi and Austin at Kimberly and Jeff’s wedding last October. Now it’s their turn! They’re getting married this November in Orange. So get ready for more sweet urban shots then!

Some faves.









Annemarie + Rodney at The Kona Kai

We were down in San Diego again for Annemarie and Rodney’s wedding at The Kona Kai Resort on Shelter Island. I never even knew of this area, so it was cool for me to see the Island. There are some great views of the city from over here….check out the last photo below. I love emotional weddings and there were just so much love in the room. Great speeches and dances! Thanks to Geneene Thornton of Celebrations Event Planning for running the show! Congrats to Annemarie and Rodney!
















Off to New Orleans!

I’m off to New Orleans today! I’ll be attending the Image X photography workshop and it should be another great learning experience for me. I’m looking forward to my first time in New Orleans and it should be fun meeting a bunch of talented photogs as well.

I’ll be in workshops during the day so I may not be able to answer calls. Please leave me a message or email and I’ll try to respond as soon as I can. Tey will still be in town, so you can give her a buzz as well. And since I’ll be missing my little dudes over the next few days, I’ll share with you the photo that I’ll be looking at the most…my phone screensaver!

Have a great week!!!
