Crystal Pier Engagement

Engagements

I met Ben and Christina at 8AM on Sunday down at Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. Of course the first thing I had to do when we met up was apologize for being a bit wiped out – I never would have guessed that the wedding I shot in Laguna Beach the night before was going to be 100+ degrees – and it really took a lot out of me. But Ben and Christina are a super chill couple and the whole theme of the shoot was a low-key “lifestyle” shoot so I like to think that my fatigue helped contribute to the final look in a positive way… haha – at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it

Del Mar and Torrey Pines Engagement

Engagements

I met Dave and Jessi in Del Mar for a 2-part engagement photo session that would begin in the village of Del Mar and end on the trails at Torrey Pines. The weather was amazing (low 70’s and sunny) and we were lucky to avoid pretty much any crowds.

Year in Review – Recent Headshots

Professional Portraits

Both Jon and Chris tend to do a lot of headshots throughout the year – but these tend not to warrant an entire post on our blog. So here is a look at a year in review of some of our favorite photos of the year – as we wrap up 2012 and look forward to 2013

Engagement photos at Old Poway

Engagements

Courtney and Jordan were troopers yesterday morning… morning temperatures were in the high 30’s and they still agreed to meet me at 8AM for some nice early morning light. But as is so often the case… the results are worth the effort as we had absolutely spectacular conditions for these photos. Fortunately for all of us the temps started climbing pretty fast under the beautiful morning sun.

Old Poway Park has been a favorite location of mine for a long time – but I’ve never been able to talk anyone into getting up so early to do their pictures, so I was thrilled to have such a great looking couple keen to make great images with me.

West Coast Reception

San Diego Weddings

Unfortunately – the wedding happened on the east coast and we were not able to get out to cover that event… BUT Fortunately, Kristen’s family invited a west coast gathering and had us cover the event. This reception took place in an absolutely beautiful back-yard in North County San Diego and it included both a Croatian “cake smashing” as well as a slightly more “traditional” (for America at least) cake cutting.

Wedding In Ocean Beach

San Diego Weddings

Chris and Jon were at it again last weekend in Ocean Beach. We don’t get to team up together for every wedding – but when we do we always have a blast working together. This wedding took place in the courtyard at the Ocean Beach Hotel which is immediately adjacent to the Ocean Beach Pier. The sky on this particular day was a photographers dream come true – with a mix of light overcast and some awesome cloud formations.

Balboa Pier Engagement Photos

Engagements

I had only ever been to the Balboa Pier once as I was catching the boat to Avalon, but when we were looking for a place to do some engagement photos in the area I knew it would be perfect. The combination of sandy beaches combined with a very cool village area that is alive with color and texture provided a wonderful backdrop for a portrait session.

Kim and Thom :: Married

San Diego Weddings, Uncategorized

To begin with… let me describe how this wedding ended. The day after the wedding – the coordinator, florist, band, venue and of course my team had a chance to exchange some brief “thank you emails”. And within these emails this wedding was unanimously described as “The Feel Good Wedding of the Summer”. Words just can’t express the joy felt by everyone who attended this beautiful wedding. The whole day from the very early start to the reception at Hilton Torrey Pines, ran as smooth as I could ever hope – and everyone looked absolutely stunning!!
