On September 11th the Turnip Rose hosted a dinner for the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. It’s a great event for these great kids that are fighting cancer. The Turnip Rose goes all out for these kids. They had a variety of activities for the kids including pinball machines. They also had these amazing food stations and desert bars.
Every year they have the kids do art work for a line of greeting cards that raise money for the research.
Be sure to chec out the website.

I donated the use of my photobooth for the event.I had a blast attending the event. The kids had such a blast in the booth. It is so inspiring to see these kids that are fighting for their life with giant smiles on their faces.

Here are a few shoots of these amazing kids hanging out in the booth.

I just finished a weekend of 3 weddings. I started off shooting at The Hyatt HB.
It was such a beautiful day. Everything went perfect. Thanks a lot to Jennifer of OC’s Finest Weddings. She did all the planning for the wedding. She did an amazing job. I know the bride loved her.
These were so laid back. I loved it.

The brides always have such great smiles during the getting ready process.

It was an amazing night.

The couple decided to catch a ride down the board walk.

I’m been looking forward to shooting these two. Their wedding is taking place October 11th in Como Italy. I feel so priveledged that they hired me to photograph their big day. Their wedding is less than a month away. So keep checking back.

I shot their engagement pictures on Thursday. We hung out in downtown San Juan Capistrano. There are so many great places to shoot.

We started off at The Mission. These two are so great for the camera.

After the Mission there was a quick outfit change. Then a walk around downtown.
The train pulled up just in time for me to use it as a great prop.

I love Kai in this hat.

There is this great old jail downtown. I decided to lock the up.

I’ve been wanting to blog this wedding for sometime. This is another one of my August weddings. These two are so great. Kristin had a smile on her face all day. I loved it.
I started and finished the day at The beautiful Balboa Bay Club. Another beautiful wedding location right on the harbor of Newport Beach.

Kristins mom was so excited to see her daughter in her wedding dress.

I love catching the bride when she first looks in the mirror with her dress on.

The docks are so great for pictures.

Isn’t this the cutest kid

I love the ballroom

The bride & groom had such a great grand entrance. As you can see they had some help. The USC band is so great at weddings. I actually had them at 3 weddings in row in August.

This was a wedding I shot in August. It took place at the Marriott Fashion Island. I had a great time getting to know these two. I did a few different shoots with them. I always had a blast.
The Marriott recently went through a major remodel inside the hotel. The inside of this hotel looks amazing. The hotel also has a great new ceremony site.
I also need to mention how great it is to work with the staff at The Marriott. They are the BEST!!!!!!!!!

Just after getting the dress on.

There is a great bar in the hotel.

The ballroooms at the hotel look amazing.

I’m going to try to start this blogging thing again. It’s so hard to keep up when you’re shooting everyday. I’ll be back tracking this week some of the weddings that I missed.

Yesterday I got to hang out in Newport Beach.

On the same trip to San Francisco I got to shoot 2 engagement sessions. The 2nd of the two was Jwssica and Ryan. It’s such a blast to get to hang out with my couples out of town.
We started this shoot out on one of the trolley’s.

Another great view of Alcatraz

A quick stop by Lombard Street

You can’t be in San Franciso without getting a picture in front of the Golden Gate bridge

There are so many great places to shoot

I’ve been having fun traveling for engagement sessions over the summer. During the month of July I was able to shoot a couple in San Francisco.
Here are a few shots from one of the shoots.
Lance has this great 67 Cadillac. So we thought we would cruise around the city in the car. It was so much fun.

That’s Alcatraz in the background.

This car was such a great prop.

That’s the Golden Gate in tehe background. The fog started rolling in. So we only had a glimpse of the bridge.

They wanted a moment alone so they kicked me out of the car.

We ended the shoot with a drive down Lombard Street.
