Palos Verdes Engagement Photography – Justin & Melisa

This past Saturday evening I met with Justin and Melisa in Palos Verdes to shoot their engagement session. I am so glad the weather finally cooperated with us, several previous attempts to meet for the shoot were rained out.

Justin & Melisa are new parents with 11 weeks old twins. I had fun talking to them about being a parent and shared the news of our new little one coming in November. Justin, along with being a respected DJ, is an amateur photographer so we had fun chatting about cameras and lenses. I had so much fun, we could have kept shooting long after the sun went down. Justin & Melisa are getting married this coming September in Palos Verdes.

There were so many great shots from our evening together, it was hard to choose what to blog. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

[…] Several weeks ago I met up with Justin & Melisa and their twin boys at Neighborhood Church in Rancho Palos Verdes to shoot their family session.  I don’t do many family sessions since I would rather specialize in weddings and other types of photography, but when I have a special request from former clients or friends I usually can find a few hours to fit in their session.  Justin & Melisa are some of my favorite past clients!  I still am in love with the photos from their engagement session!   […]

My wife peed on a stick and I took a picture!

We had our first visit with our mid-wife this past Friday and heard the heartbeat. Check out what Gideon thinks about the news.

Los Angeles Wedding Photography – David & Emily – 04/10/10

Last Saturday I had a blast capturing Emily & David’s wedding day.  The day started off at the Embassy Suites in Downey, with Emily getting ready.  By the time we left the hotel and headed over to Moravian Church for the ceremony, the forecasted clouds started to thin, and the sun started to peak through providing some beautiful light.  The day ended with a  formal reception at Rio Hondo Country Club.

My friend Brian Hamilton of Suite M came to assist me for the day. It was such a blast working with him, I hope we can do it again soon. Not only did Brian assist me but he also connected me with this fun couple. Brian is the owner and main photographer at Suite M Photography. Among being an awesome photographer, he also is an all around great guy. He is the first person I recommend if I am already booked.

Here are just a few of  my favorites from Emily & David’s wedding.
