Christine + Edwin | Orange County Wedding Photographer

On Saturday, Dec. 18th, I responded to a forwarded email from my photographer friend, Holly Gratner, regarding a bride in need of a photographer. Apparently, Angel Brides and Events Taylormade was asked to facilitate TEN weddings as part of a larger event for Benefitall. Benefitall had cancelled the event at Angel Stadium due to the high rain forecast. Once the news broke, many vendors had dropped out - including some brides. The email was from Michelle Brydenthal of Bryde 'n'All Weddings & Events and she was reaching out for a photographer to donate their talent and time. I called Michelle, got the details, and 2 hours later was shooting the bride. The ceremony was at the beautiful Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA. The rain had stopped and made for a perfect wedding day. I was glad to help out someone in need and be a part of such a great event. CONGRATS Christine & Edwin! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Merry Christmas Dad

It was a fun Christmas this year, especially with the reaction of my dad when he realized he got a drum set! It was covered up in sheets with a snowman's head and scarf. He had no idea. He thought it was a exercise bike - that he would NEVER use. He was very surprised and couldn't believe it. MERRY CHRISTMAS DAD!

Avie & Jonah | Orange County Portrait Photographer

I had the opportunity to do a mini session of Avie & Jonah right before the holidays. I have known the parents, Carrie and Phillip Lin, since high school. The kids are adorable and Avie had the greatest time making faces to make her younger brother laugh. It's so nice to have some help when shooting kids. Way to be a BIG SIS Avie! Can't wait to shoot the family next month. Happy Holidays!

The Gutierrez's | Orange County Family Photographer

The Gutierrez family (and Fifi) were ready for a photo shoot. They wanted to show off to family back in Chicago how beautiful and sunny California is in the winter. Well, what better way than at the Montage Resort! It was a perfect day and I had great time with the Gutierrez's. Even Fifi, their pet Chihuahua, was an ease to work with!

Jamie + Jeff | Riverside County Wedding Photographer

Jamie and Jeff's wedding took place at Eagle Glen Golf Club in Corona, CA on 10.30.10. I had met Jamie and Jeff through my friend Adam Nelson, which we both shot the wedding together. Eagle Glen Golf Club is a gorgeous venue tucked away in the hills of the Inland Empire. The day turned out beautiful as it was suppose to rain. But everything fell together perfectly! Congrats Jamie & Jeff!

Jennifer + Jeff | Las Vegas Wedding Photographer

Jennifer and Jeff celebrated their wedding on the popular wedding date of 10.ten.10 in North Las Vegas, NV! It was a beautiful setting away from the strip and a different feel from what Vegas can be. I enjoyed capturing their ceremony and being a part of their special day. CONGRATS Jen and Jeff!

The Petronella's | Orange County Family Photographer

This was the 2nd year I was asked to do the Petronella's family session. I have known Nikki since high school and was looking forward to see how the two boys, Trevor & Vinny, have grown. We had a great afternoon of shooting! Thanks again Petronella's!
