Welcome to my blog!

Here you’ll find some of my most recent work including weddings, engagements, family & baby portraits, maternity portraits, or anything else I happen to point my camera at. At weddings you’ll hear me use the words “awesome” and “rad” about 10,000 times. One of my favorite things in this world is meeting new couples in love and then making beautiful photos of them. Let’s meet, enjoy a beer (or wine if we’re feeling classy) and talk about how we can make that happen!

I’m soooo far behind on my blogging!  Jenna and Bobby have been at the top of my list for too long!  The first time I drove down towards San Diego to meet this awesome couple I secretly crossed my fingers as I sat across the table from them hoping I would be fortunate enough to be a part of their wedding.  Jenna, the former gymnast, and Bobby, the financial planner, are quite simply a perfect pair.  It’s obvious how in love they are and how happy they make each other just after sitting with them for a few minutes.  It’s so great to meet two individuals who are so down to earth and so real.  Their engagement session was a big clue to how happy and fun their wedding day would be.  One of the most memorable moments of their wedding was when I found myself laughing along with every other guest during their ceremony when one of their readings was the following lyrics from Adam Sandler

I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you.
I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you.
I’ll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you, I’ll even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you’ve had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man to grow old with you.
I wanna grow old with you.

Their entire wedding day was filled with special moments that made me text my wife that I want to marry her all over again.  Jenna and Bobby, thank you for the laughs, the amazing celebration, the endless dancing, the hugs, and the perfect example of what young true love is supposed to be.

Here’s part two from Diane & James’ beautiful wedding at the Ritz Carlton, Dove Mountain in Arizona.  Sorry for posting a million pictures but there really was no other way to tell the whole story of this perfect day without showing you every last detail.  Diane and James are simply made for each other and they also get bonus points for having one of my favorite First Looks of the year.  Also, be sure to check out the unreal SAME-DAY-EDIT video from their wedding.  Studio Red is simply the best!!  I’ve had the immense pleasure of working with them in the past and once again they blew everyone away with their beautifully captured and edited video.  Keep in mind, they shoot and edit this on the wedding day and play it at the end of the reception!!  Check out the video here… Studio Red – Diane & James
