Sandra + Eric's Guestbook

Sandra and Eric's Guestbook just shipped out today. They're going to love it!


The cover has an image from Imperial Beach on Coronado, CA.


Inside are pictures from their entire session in San Diego, CA. Some from Balboa park, others from downtown.


There is still plenty of room for wedding guests to leave their wishes on these beautiful pages.

Thick pages will help ensure that this book lasts a long time.


Here is a close shot of the textured paper which is easier to write on then the smooth paper that is typically used.

Fourth of July on Coronado

I spent the 4th of July on Coronado island in California with my dad and brother. There is a huge parade each year on the island that we were able to enjoy.



This cute dog was sitting by us.


With a base being on the island there was a large presence of military in the parade.


Including the girl scouts with their Operation Thin Mint car.


In the San Diego bay there was a ship with a huge flag on it


The sunset was beautiful


Then the fireworks began with the San Diego skyline behind.



I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Independence Day! What a great country we have!

The Santa Barbara Crew

I've been in California since last weekend to shoot some engagement session photos for upcoming weddings. During the week I headed north to Santa Barbara, which is one of my favorite places to visit. I have a great group of friends whom are all wonderful photographers as well.

We all went out to lunch one day while I was visiting. It seems as though the out of town guy is the one that brings them all together for events.

Later on that night I headed out for some wonderful sushi at Arigato on State Street. It's my favorite sushi restaurant ever!

While I was walking to dinner I noticed the smoke coming up from north Santa Barbara county. It helped create a beautiful sunset. But it also helped create a nice power outage during dinner.

Veronica + Stephen Engagement Session in San Juan Capistrano, CA

Here are a few more photos from Veronica and Stephen's engagement session in California. We started off the session in downtown San Juan Capistrano and and then headed to Newport Beach for a beach session.

San Clemente Exposé

A personal project of mine has been to capture some of the unique elements in San Clemente, CA over the last two years. My recent engagement session brought me back out here so I spent yesterday afternoon walking around downtown. Here are some of those photos.

Veronica + Stephen Engagement Session in Newport Beach, CA

Veronica and Stephen get a ton of points for being fearless in February. They wanted to get some great ocean photos while we were out here in California for their engagement session and so they got into the freezing cold water for the last part of our session. Here are a few of the photos from that evening.



Don't they just look like models






There are more great photos from earlier in the day that I'll post later.
