This image was taken on my shoot for Sully and Jefferson in Clayton, North Carolina. I don't know how many photographers that would take children (with their Mom) inside of an abandoned house for a shoot, but we did....and it was AWESOME! Used my Rotolights for this shot.

This image was taken at my wedding for Dan and Stephanie at the Lake Oak Meadows Winery in Temecula. I love bridal rooms that give me options to shoot including french doors, big mirrors, tables etc. Well, as you can see here I had all those options which helped me to capture this shot. Just love the venue!

This image was taken at The Hacienda in Santa Ana California which is an older ranchero style venue, that is absolutely beautiful. This was taken in the bridal room prior to the ceremony and was a moment where the bride could relax for just a moment. Just a beautiful bride in an amazing venue....

This image was taken at my wedding for Cory and Kristin on the beautiful island of Maui, my second home. I've visited Maui no less than 40 separate times, and each time is always for a good amount of time...I just love shooting in Hawaii. This was taken before the ceremony began as she walked towards her marriage ceremony to Cory. I wanted a more dramatic shot so I had everyone go inside the chapel and had her walk from further back to get a better, wider shot. Hope you like it!

This image was taken at my wedding for Eric and Michele at the Montage Laguna Beach. We snuck in after the couple shoot, just before all the wedding guests came in and grabbed some shots. The couple spends so much time and money in decorating their wedding that it's very important to take the time to get these shots....

This image was taken at my wedding for Xarlyn and Wendhy at the Grand Tradition Estate in Fallbrook. It's always so important to take the time to get great ring shots because they are the number one symbol of the marriage.

This image was taken at my destination in Cleveland, Ohio for Matt and Jenna. It was an awesome opportunity to be able to do a shoot on a Major League Baseball stadium field....just amazing. We had both the bride and groom pitch to each other and it was so much fun as they took hitting practice against each other. I love destination weddings!

This image was taken during my First Reveal for Matt and Jenna at Squires Castle in Ohio. As you can see it was wintertime, but the couple didn't mind braving the cold for a First Reveal so they could make the most out of their time with me. I find that a lot of destination wedding couples will elect to either do a First Reveal or Couple Shoot after the wedding so they can capture great images of their special destination wedding. Do you like the wedding rings hanging in the tree?

This image was taken at my wedding at Disneyland inside the getting ready room...which was actually a small meeting room that we turned into the getting ready area for the bride. There are no mirrors in the room so we borrowed two from the make up artist, leaned them up against the wall, and made magic happen. I shot this using the reflection of the mirrors of a moment between the Bride and her Mom...

This image was taken at my wedding for Chad and Kristin at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens last week. I love getting shots that show details....and I love it when you can sense emotion in a shot without having to see the person's face. It's always so sweet when a Father walks his Daughter down the aisle, and that's what I was trying to capture here...

One of the key things for any wedding photographer to get is the shot of the cake cutting. The trick is getting the rings, the knife, the engraved names etc. ALL in the shot. This image was taken at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens which is a beautiful historic wedding venue. I just loved the colors of the wedding and it came through in this image....

This image was taken at my wedding for the Christmas House Inn and Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. This was captured during the couple's first dance. I just love it when we can catch a tear coming down from either the bride or the groom. And I really love it when the wedding couple actually lets their emotions come out during the wedding...like you see here.
