Amber & Benjamin Wedding — Trump National Golf Club, Rancho Palos Verdes

July 28, 2008 – 1:16 pm

Amber and Benjamin – Congratulations, and welcome back from your honeymoon! What an amazing wedding. It was such an honor and joy to meet all of your family and friends - especially after hearing you speak so highly of everyone leading up to your big day. Every detail of your ceremony + reception was exquisite, and it was such a thrill to photograph.

I still have a bit of editing to do, but wanted to post a few favorites that have caught my eye. I’ll no doubt be posting more as I sort through the Tea Ceremony and reception images (some very special and fun ones indeed!)

Thank you both so much for your friendship and trust - and for sharing your beautiful day. I can’t wait for you to see all the images - very soon!

(Note to Amber & Benjamin’s family, friends and guests: Register here to view the wedding photos when ready).

* Amber and Benjamin assembled an amazing crew of professionals for their wedding, and it was a privilege to work alongside them. A very special thanks goes to my 2nd photographer for the day, Leo Flores – a gifted photographer with a brilliant eye.

Blog Construction Zone

July 6, 2008 – 1:05 pm


As you may notice, the blog is currently undergoing some design construction (non-branded colors, fonts, layouts, etc). I’ve been hearing from many that the comments section wasn’t working (on the previous design) as well a lot feedback on functionality — i.e., the header and other sections not opening, or looking “quite funky.”

So, the design will be swithing back and forth the next few days as I get everything ironed out and running smoothly. Thanks to those that have sent me e-mails about the design problems, and thanks to all for hanging in there with me.

Seascape Abstract

June 27, 2008 – 9:19 pm

I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with motion - and have become especially interested in applying movement to fine art seascapes. I like the abstract quality that long exposures + camera motion add to the image. This sunset image was created with a long exposure and a steady left-right panning of the tripod. Of the 50 or so photographs captured, this is a leading favorite.

Have a great weekend.

Maternity Photography - Karina and Family

June 23, 2008 – 8:43 pm

I had the honor of recently photographing our friends Karina + her adorable family (as a family of 3 before baby-makes-4). The night before the shoot they made a run to the hospital (contractions had begun, but turns out they were not quite ready for admittance). So, we worked fast (and gently) the next day and captured a nice collection of images.

Today Karina delivered a healthy and happy baby boy!

We’re so thrilled for you all, and can’t wait to meet the lil’ guy!

Here a just a couple sneak peaks from our Maternity/Familysession:

“Stuff I Dig” Friday - Fine Art TV

June 20, 2008 – 4:35 pm

I first found FineArtTV via a great segment featuring photographer Kim Weston (I’m continually inspired by Kim’s generous spirit and creativity, and have participated in a handful of his workshops ).

FineArtTV is a combination news magazine and TV channel — dedicated solely to “the world of images and to the artistic field in general.” I particularly enjoy the Gallery of the Day.

Michelle & Chad: Laguna Beach E-Session

June 16, 2008 – 10:05 pm

One of my favorite things about wedding photography is shooting Engagement sessions. I offer these sessions in all my packages, and really enjoy the creative collaberation that always results from these shoots.

Michelle and Chad are awesome, and I had such a blast on their recent E-session. It was an added bonus to meet their puppy Toby and visit with Michelle’s Mom “on-set.” When we met earlier this year, both Michelle and Chad mentioned that they might be a bit camera shy. Well, quite the contrary! The minute we began shooting they instantly fell into the groove and were naturals in front of the camera. These two exemplify the key to any successful engagement shoot — simply being in love. This is so evident in their images, and I can’t wait for their wedding celebration in August.

Stuff I Dig — cgart.com

June 13, 2008 – 12:09 pm

Gonna dedicate Friday’s here on the blog to Stuff I Dig.

I recently discovered, and have been inspired by, the “Creative Graphics & Art Design” website. The goal of the online destination is to “curate” quality video content (there are currently over 700 videos published)…I especially dig the cinematography, motion design and musioc video categories.

Click here to check out the site…and, embeded below is a recent favorite.
