Mark + Tracy Married

July 30, 2009 – 9:55 am

A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to shoot Mark and Tracy’s wedding at Anaheim Hills Golf Course. I was so excited to shoot these two because they are both totally awesome people to work with and had a great time during their engagement shoot and was even more so because Mark is a hockey player for the Canadian league hoping to get drafted here in the states any minute.  How awesome is that!  We’re still praying for you Mark!

Tiffany Patton started the day off strong with a serious makeup sess.. Not that Tracy needed it at all.. I am referring to the equipment that was used.. Yeah its not every day when makeup artists bring the airbrush machine with them.. She did an awesome job as you can see.

This wedding was shot over 4th of July weekend so all the colors and flower arrangement worked perfectly… yeah yeah yeah so Im a little behind in my posting….

Marky Mark..

Love these shots..

Mark and Tracy, Kris and I had a  great time capturing your day and we look forward seeing what lies ahead in the near future for you guys with the whole Hockey thing! Like I said we will def keep praying for you two!!!

Chris + An Engaged

July 24, 2009 – 4:38 pm

Last week I shot Chris and An, a fun, young couple from San Diego that totally loves the art of photography. Ever since we first met during our meeting I knew I was going to be excited to work for these two. I love couples that are all into the photos.. It makes it so much more fun for me! And allows me to be me and to capture the love of these two through my eye! They wanted a modern, hip place to shoot to match their fun hip personalities so I had just the place in mind.. An also said she wanted fun and bright colors.. I think we found some great places..

These two were totally pro!

Love this shot..

Sean + Cat Married

July 19, 2009 – 9:03 am

So a few weekends ago I had the opportunity to shoot Sean and Cat Makin at Calimigos Ranch! It was a great day. If your a consistent blog reader you would know that Sean is a musician and was in the band Yellow Card so I knew we were going to have a great day of fun with all of Sean and Cat’s friends and family.

We started the day off right at the hotel with some apple crisp muffins and Starbucks! No better way to start a long wedding day in my book!

Super Sweet shoes by Salvatore Ferragamo..

The Fam checking out the sweet engagement album from KISS!

Cat has been a dancer all her life and decided to wear her ballet slippers as her wedding shoes which I thought was a sweet touch.

I love this shot..

Some sweet furniture and architecture at the hotel..

The Boys..

The Girls..

Sean and Cat did a first look.. I loved his reaction

so genuine..

They also got this really sweet car for the day.. Ok just realized I have been saying sweet about every sentence..

love the look..

I honestly could keep posting this wedding forever but I got to get to all my other weddings!! We’re right in the middle of wedding season and got to keep crankin’. Sean and Cat I had such a great time shooting your wedding and wish you two all the best with your new life up north. Thanks to Courtney the Craziest Coordinator I know for the referral!!

Last week I had the awesome opportunity to shoot Utterly Engaged Launch party at the new at super hip Tranquil Tea Lounge in Downtown Fullerton. It was an honor to be selected as the event photographer for the night because there were quite a few other awesome photographers there. Gabriel and Carlie, Brian Khang, Mikal Lok, The ROG and L-Train Ellsworth among many others.. haha actually too many to mention. A super fun crowd and awesome tea and atmosphere really set the tone for this new magazines career.

Eva, Lucy and Henny did an amazing job with coordinating the days events and putting on such a wonderful party.. It was quite the full house with coordinators,  caterors, florists, videographers you name it, it was all covered!

Check out the interior layout.. super clean and hip!
