Back to my favorite beach in Laguna Beach Orange County for engagement photography. Paul and Tamara are both tall and striking – looking great! From a photographer’s standpoint, what really makes their photos wonderful is that they genuinely enjoy being around each other.


Tam checking out her ring . . . being hypnotized . . .

Winter in Laguna looking dreamy and mysterious . . .

Wearing black on top for the engagement pictures is always a great choice – it brings more attention to the faces in the photo.



This is the point when I dare Paul to take Tamara into the water (which is about 55F) . . .

The crazy part of the story is that Tam absolutely loved the water but Paul was wishing he had brought his wetsuit. . .


Paul’s hair is still perfect and I notice he loosened up his collar a bit . . .

Even though this pictures is a bit dark, I really liked it . . .

Paul and Tam will be getting married in March at the University Club on the campus of UC Irvine. Cheers!

A couple with modeling good looks getting married in one of the world’s richest cities – Orange County wedding photography never looked so good! Josh and Lindsay got ready and married at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach. Besides having an “old school” resort feel, this location is unique for an Orange County resort because they only do one wedding per day on the site. You’ll never run into another bride on your wedding day, or another wedding photographer for that matter.



Whoa, easy there Josh . . . getting excited about pictures . . .

Try not to get the dress dirty ok? hahahah . . .

They only do one wedding a day at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach – which is great because you’ll never run into another bride. Also, the main ballroom is ALL yours! . . .

The Brinson family and I met at Tewinkle Park in Costa Mesa for a little play time with their beautiful daughter. . .

Bubbles are a fantastic way to get your kid to smile and have a good time. They will completely forget about the guy with the camera.


Daddys are definitely good for play time . . .


Almost done . . . don’t get tired yet . . . just a couple more . . .

Mommys are good for nurture time . . .

If you like spring time and gerber daisies, then you’ll love Steve and Grace’s wedding out at the Orchard in Menifee, CA. Menifee is a small city near Temecula in Riverside County, CA. When was the last time you googled “riverside county wedding photography?” That’s what I thought. It was a VERY hot day, but lots of willow trees and lemonade made for an easy time.

If you and your fiance decide to say your own vows, be sure to write them out . . .
