Now the Sato/Sullivan family, aside from being good friends, and an awesome couple to photograph have booked me SOOO many weddings i have lost count...so naturally it was a great joy and honor for me to photograph little Ellie, their 5 month old daughter. Did i mention she's just cute as a button. Now Anne Geddes and i have very different styles, but when i saw this copper pot...i thought: "Why not???" And how festive is this little Polo dress with the pumpkins. I LOVE it...

Go BIg A!!!!!!!!!!!

I was super excited about this Engagement Session! A really cool, chill couple, and yes, what else, but the Big A. We got "priority clearance" to shoot at Edison Field, Home of the "California" Angels. We went everywhere: on the field, of course, in the stands, in the dugout, on the pitchers mound. It was spectacular. Just ignore the Cardinals Jersey that Carie has on...(sorry Carie!) The only other thing we needed was Vlady, and we would have been set!

Issue #2

Here is Issue #2 from one of the funnest weddings i have ever been to, in the heart of San Francisco. We shot at Coit Tower and the Palace of Fine Arts. Julianne and Will were so easy to shoot and their bridal party was amazing. You gotta love the 'street performers' that they had to take a photo with.

Eucalyptus Trees

I drove up to San Luis Obispo for this Engagement Session with Derek and Liz...perhaps the funnest couple on the planet! they were so easy to shoot, and we had a great time playin in the trees! I love the contrast of her striped shirt against the forest. Way to go Liz.

San Dee-AH-Go...

Joe and Dee's Wedding in San Diego was just off-the-hook fun. I got some great detail shots of her sexy leopard skin shoes. And that city scape in the background of Downtown San Diego at night...AWESOME! we almost missed this shot (if i hadn't coerced them to step out of the limo for just 2 min...)

My new Magazine

So here is my magazine, A.N Bride...if i ever get publishing rights...
Look for a new issue soon!

Shooting in IDAHO

Yes, that is a REAL rainbow. I love my job, and how photo shoots can take me to new and exciting places. Well, Boise, Idaho was that most recent new and exciting place. Here Justin and Siska got married in the vineyards at a winery in Nampa, Idaho just outside of Boise. Boise is a fun town, my wife and I stayed at the Grove hotel, and took in some local culture. Great beer and GREAT chicken wings at a local pub we visited.

Hayden Ficht

How are THESE for sparkling blue eyes??? Hayden was a GREAT subject, the son of two of my college-mates Amber and Jason. At two months old, what baby doesn't look as precious as this guy?

Chad and Kelli: Rodeo Drive, Ice Cream and Photos

This was a GREAT time shooting an engagement session. Chad and Kelli, two good friends of mine, wanted to have the "L.A." feel for some photos, and who am I to pass up Urth Caffe and Beverly Hills? We had a great time shooting up there, and after their photos we enjoyed a great dinner at Maggianos at The Grove. I am SOOOO L.A.

Who takes MY photos?!!!

If i had a nickle for everytime someone asked me "Well, who is going to shoot YOUR wedding...?" I could retire. I recently tied the knot about 6 weeks ago to the most beautiful bride i have EVER seen, Jessica. And ofcourse, i INSISTED that i photograph her on the day of our wedding. Its a good thing my friend Tom, who shot our wedding, allowed me to so!! Jessica has NEVER looked so drop-dead gorgeous. I have seen my fair share of beautiful, glowing brides, but my sweetie just made my heart jump.
We got married in a breath-taking location, on the Stanilaus River, in an almond orchard at her parents house in Modesto, California.
