El Matador Beach - Camille and Jean Claude

I was very lucky to experience the beach twice this last weekend. I was with Camille and Jean Claude on Sunday evening at El Matador Beach. Here are a couple of images from the session. Camille's father is into photography - I hope he approves!

The Beach - Nikki and Mark

Saturday evening's weather was perfect at the beach and I had an awesome time photographing Nikki and Mark. They are getting married later this year in New York City. Their plan was to represent both coasts into their wedding plans - engagement images from the beach (very Californian) and the ceremony in NYC.

We had a blast hanging out and capturing some fun moments. Here are a couple of images:

Leica Day in the Park

I went to the park today with my two granddaughters and my Leica Rangefinder camera. My grandchildren are a blast to photograph, but the Leica is manual focus and exposure. You have to be extra fast - especially with young fast moving objects! Here are a couple of shots.

El Matador Beach

I spent yesterday afternoon with Alicia and Jeremy at El Matador Beach. I managed to stay dry (for a change), but both Alicia and Jeremy got soaked. We spent over an hour taking tons of images on land and in the water.

They were a very fun couple to work with and I look forward to their wedding this coming May.

Erin and Adam

Bridgeport engagement session - part II.

On Sunday evening I hung out with Erin and Adam at Bridgeport to photograph engagement pictures. The weather was perfect - and we walked the entire perimeter of the lake. Along the way we encountered lots of great areas to photograph.

Here are a couple of their images:

Lucy and Amir

After photographing my Calamigos wedding last Saturday (see post below), I ran home, changed clothes and headed out the door to photograph Lucy and Amir for their engagement pictures. We had a great time hanging out at a local development called Bridgeport.

The session was very relaxed as it was a perfect California evening.

Calamigos Equestrian Center

We photographed the wedding of Shannon and Robert last Saturday at the Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. It was a storybook wedding complete with a horse drawn carriage and a 1962 white Rolls Royce. The atmosphere was fun, fun, fun.

Master of Ceremonies - James English from J and M Entertainment kept everyone on their feet dancing and having a great time.

Here are a couple of images:

La Venta Inn, Palos Verdes Estates

Last Saturday we photographed the wedding of Jennifer and Nick at the beautiful La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes California. We had a great time hanging out with the bride and groom and their very funny bridal party. Everyone was in a great mood. The Best Man's toast to the B&G was one of the funniest I have heard. (It actually involved a piece of toast)!

Here are a couple of images from the day.
