Alex & Colleen - 11/28/08

I am back up and running after a two week trip to the east coast and a week fighting a nasty cold/flu bug. Last month Victoria, Gideon, and I made a trip back to MD, OH, and PA to visit family and friends, celebrate Thanksgiving, and attend a family wedding.


I have known Alex, the groom, since he was born. He is my youngest cousin and it has been fun to see him grow up to the man he is today. I am so happy he has found someone as wonderful as Colleen to go through life with. I wish them many happy years together. I was not the official photographer for Alex & Colleen's wedding but I was able to grab some shots throughout the day while enjoying the wedding and reception with Victoria and Gideon. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Alex and Collen head over to Bella Tori for some shots with their wedding party. The first shot is when Alex and Colleen first see each other ready for their big day

A couple quick shots I grabbed of Colleen while the guys were being photographed.

Alex turned out pretty well.

Just two from the ceremony.

The first dance

I love this shot even though it isn't sharp. I used a slower shutter speed and caught some motion at the end of their first dance.

Fernie & Rose - 11/8/08

Two weekends ago I photographed Rose and Fernie's wedding at Quiet Cannon in Montebello, CA. The ceremony took place in the courtyard and the reception was just up the stairs in one of the banquet rooms. There are so many great images from their wedding day. Here are only a select few.

I am a little behind

I am a little behind in my posts with the change in routine that came with the arrival of Gideon. The good news is that I think we have new routine down and I can get back to posting.


Back in September, I tagged along with my good friend, Jeremy Yates, to photograph Sarah and John's wedding at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, CA. I had a blast shooting with Jeremy and hope that we can do it again many times in the future. Make sure you go check out Jeremy's post from Sarah and John's wedding to see addition photos. Here are a few of my favorite images I took that day.

Gideon at 1 week

Yesterday I spent some time photographing Gideon. I used some black velvet fabric and window light for the setup. The shoot went pretty well and Gideon cooperated most of the time. Here are a few of my favorites.
