I was invited to create a behind-the-scene documentary on the creation of the latest issue of Exquisite Weddings Magazine. The photos took place a Bandy Canyon in Escondido and there was an amazing team of creative people to make this project come to reality

I don’t normally do blog posts with Sneak Peeks, but I just got home from shooting this beautiful wedding at Rancho Bernardo Inn and I HAD to put a couple of pictures up here!!
The New Children’s Museum in San Diego is an amazing place for kids (and their parents) to explore and create art. Over a 3 week period from the middle of September to the first week of October the smuseum transformed from “Trash” to “Feast”. I place 6 cameras around the museum and tracked progress an artists worked to create their new exhibits. This 4 minute video is the result of over 250,000 images captured during the transition
Beautiful venues put a huge smile on my face – and when Courtney and Jordan told me they would be getting married at Secluded Garden, I could not have been happier. On top of the wonderful venue, this intimate wedding was attended by such a great group of friends and family that I could not help by enjoy myself thoroughly for the entire event.
Event coordination was provided by Dalene Christensen
This beautiful wedding began at Seagrove Park in Del Mar and finished as an intimate backyard reception.

This beautiful wedding at Paradise Gardens in Oceanside was an absolute pleasure to be a part of. Aside from the weather being a little on the hot side when we arrived – I can’t imagine how the day could have gone much better. From the perfectly behaved dog, to the children’s parade, to the absolutely gorgeous grounds where we were able to take the wedding photos, this was definitely one of those days that made me LOVE my job. Looking back, I think my favorite part of the day was the first look. The funny thing about “first looks” is that they can sometimes feel a little “contrived” as the bride and groom get ready. But as you can see in the resulting images here – the experience of seeing your spouse for the first time on your wedding day is a special moment that is guaranteed to create some strong emotions.
Small is beautiful – and this amazing little wedding took place at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse on Harbor Island in San Diego. After getting ready at the Hilton I walked to the wedding venue (Loved that part!!) to wait for the bride. Tom Ham’s has gone through some significant renovations in the past year and I absolutely loved the new layout with bright interior rooms and a new ceremony site out front. As for the wedding itself – rarely have I seen more smiles at ANY event before… I love these guys!!
I’m a huge fan of variety in weddings – so when I was told of a Laos ceremony in the morning followed by a more “western” ceremony in the afternoon I was very excited. Laos is a small country sitting between Thailand and Vietnam, and from what I understand there are a lot of similarities between traditional Thai weddings and traditional Lao weddings. This was my first Lao wedding so I did not have a basis for comparison, but it was full of fascinating traditions (including a bribe to the parents of the bride…) and it had an absolutely elegant traditional wardrobe and styling. I decided that this wedding would be a really cool set of pictures to put in a slideshow so here it is.
