I have always loved LA Weddings Magazine, and I am thrilled to have one of my weddings featured in a five-page spread in their latest issue. However, the BEST part is that I’m being featured along side some of the most talented photographers in the country: Jessica Claire, Elizabeth Messina, Yvette Roman, Ryan Phillips, & Yitzak Dalal.

Check it out!

Also, I’m very lucky to have talented friends who are also wedding photographers, and this year I had the honor of shooting with a few of them. Thank you to Tiffany Stern, Dina Douglass, Sara France, Sterling Franken-Steffen, Anna Kuperberg & David Jay for inviting me to shoot with you this year.

Although I shot some really cool engagement portraits and beautiful family sittings, I have decided only to include the weddings in this slideshow.

Last night’s wedding was hands down the most unbelievable thing I have seen in a long time. It was a looong day (11am – 2am) but it was such a pleasure to be shooting along side such talented photographers, and we all had a rockin’ good time! Unfortunately, we are not at liberty to post any of the actual photographs from the wedding because it is going to be published and must be kept under wraps until then. However, at the end of the night we all jumped into the photobooth and did these fun self-portraits.

Click on the links to DJ and Dane’s blogs to see the other versions of our photobooth self-portrait as well as a few other fun pics from the night.

There was a whole team producing this wedding and we all communicated with headsets, as if we were on a movie set. It was a Christmas theme, and it felt like we were working in Narnia!!

I shot their beautiful wedding at the St. Regis in Dana Point back in March.

Despite the heat, yesterday’s wedding in Redlands was really lovely. Heather & Daron were so enthusiastic, and they were really excited about getting fun shots! They saw each other before the ceremony so we could make the best use of the afternoon light.

There were so many beautiful aspects to Heather & Daron’s wedding that I have made a slideshow if you’re interested in seeing more. Just click here!

On a sidenote, I used the amber top on Gary Fong’s lightsphere for the reception, and I was very pleased with the natural-looking results.

On Friday night I drove up from Los Angeles and Joy drove from Pleasant Hill to meet in Carmel for Mary & Scott’s wedding the next day. And what a gorgeous day it was! I was so excited when I saw the Carmel Mission Basilica – it is a 200 year old mission with endless amazing places to shoot in.

From the church we made a fun stop at the beach on the 17-mile drive before heading to the lushly decorated ballroom at the Inn at Spanish Bay.

Of course I couldn’t choose ALL of my favorites, so to see many more of the photographs from the wedding, I have made a slideshow…just click here!

Saturday’s wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills was so beautiful. Every detail was thoughtful attended to by the amazing Kary Heimbach of Kary H Events

I loved her Vera Wang gown.

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to shoot the most beautiful wedding in Yorba Linda at the Richard Nixon Library. There were a lot of people and even more details, and the day went smoothly thanks to Jeannie Savage of Details Details Wedding & Event Planning. I also loved the intricate aisle runner provided by Aisle Art Studio. And of course, the amazing flowers were by the fantastic Square Root Designs.

There were just too many favorites to feature here, so I’ve made fun slideshow of the wedding… Click here to view it!

just a few favs:

I LOVED Christy’s insane eyelashes!!

Smokin’ hot bride…

Matt & all the fellows…

The creative Aisle Art:

Getting married.

This is always my favorite moment – the announcement of Mr. & Mrs…

The ball room was COVERED in flowers and amazing details…

I love finding creative ways to shoot the wedding bands. Here they are on the silver bottles that were provided for guests to blow bubbles on the couple as they left the building.

I love the back of the girl’s dresses!

Check out the bottom of Christy’s shoes!! That girl has some style…

This past Saturday, Joy and I shot Victoria & Chris’ wedding at the gorgeous venue, Haciendas De Las Flores.

It had been raining for two days before, but the weather was perfect on Saturday!

As usual, I fell in love with SO many pics, but here are some favorites:

I really like this image that Joy shot of ME…

…taking this shot!

I like how you can see Vicki’s family behind her here…

I really love the moment when my bride & groom have their first look…I photographed Vicki…

…while Joy shot Chris’ expression. They both look so excited!

One flower girl was Vicki’s niece, and the other was Chris’ niece, and they were such good friends.

Party people…

Despite the gorgeous backlight, Vicki was glowing all day!

I thought the ceremony site was really cool….

A quick kiss after walking back down the aisle…

I thought the glasses were laid out very creatively!

Cute pink & brown cake… rolled fondant, Joy’s FAVORITE!

The bride & groom loved carmel apples, and since this was a Fall wedding, they chose them as their favors. I decided to use the apple stick as a creative way to photograph the wedding bands! I absolutely love this shot.

Another neat-o ring shot…

Beautiful Victoria.

Handsome Chris.

I did not cross process any actual FILM at this wedding, but I love that I have the option in PhotoShop to cross process my digital files with similar effect! Here are Vicki & Chris sitting on the steps that lead to nowhere!

Joy set the couple here for this really pretty shot.

First dance with Joy using the radio slave to light our couple from behind!! I just love this effect.

On Saturday, Joy and I shot the most quaint wedding in San Anselmo. Because it took place at the home of the Chiaron’s parents – where she had grown up – there was very special meaning in the venue. I love shooting at private residences because the weddings tend to have a much more cosy, intimate feeling.

I really would love to blog more because I absolutely LOVED the images we got from this wedding, but I have been working all day on a special project that will be announced very soon!

Yesterday I shot with my good friend, Tiffany Stern at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. I really love shooting with my friends, and having such a gorgeous couple at a beautiful venue made it all the more fun.
