I became fascinated with photography at an early age, thanks to my father. It wasn’t his photographic skill that inspired me, though, since my dad was not a very good photographer. We would always joke how people in his photos would have plants and trees growing out of their heads.
It was actually my father’s camera that captured my interest. I loved the way it felt in my hands — all those cool buttons and controls. It intrigued me. I was also amazed at how it could be used to create these awesome images.
I walked the Bridgeport Lake here in Valencia yesterday with Rachel and Rich. We were hanging out taking engagement photographs. It was a perfect evening for a leisurely walk, with many other people out walking with their dogs and children.
Along the way we stopped by benches, rocks, bridges, piers and trees to capture some fun images. Here are a couple from the evening:
Last weekend I traveled to El Matador Beach in Malibu to photograph Amanda and Adam’s engagement images. The weather was perfect – complete with an awesome sunset for the drive home.
Amanda and Adam were super easy to work with, which made hanging out at the beach a lot of fun! When the session was over they gave me an awesome bottle of wine, “Zealear Fusion” Zinfandel. It is their new favorite and I have to agree it is excellent.
Here are a couple of images from our day at the beach.
Great stuff as always. 
PS – if you ever decide to sell that 17-55 2.8 let me know!

THANKS!!! you made this such a great day!
As I mentioned in my previous post, my two little granddaughters attended the recent wedding I photographed. One as a guest and the other as a Flower Girl. Lisa and I could not help ourselves – taking way too many images of the cute little girls…
Lorelai – Wondering what a Flower Girl does at a wedding = curious
Isabel – pre-wedding snack = satisfying!
Putting on your favorite party dress = exciting!
Figuring out what a Flower Girl does = exhilarating!
Striking the perfect Flower Girl pose = PRICELESS!
WILLIAM, your granddaughters are ADORABLE! Are they for hire?
Hey Buddy —- Your imagery is simply awesome. Who’d have known the “hidden talents that lie within”?

Hi William 
Long time no see. It’s bin a year now, since we had e great stay at your house. How are you doing? We’re good. We visited your blogs and the photos of the baby girls. They are very beautiful (the girls, as well as the pictures), but your other photos too!
You must be a very proud grandfather. Greatings to the family.

Last weekend we photographed the wedding of Rachelle and Steve. This wedding was definitely a family affair. The beautiful bride, Rachelle, has spent countless days and evenings at our house hanging out with my kids. My daughter-in-law and her sister were the Matron of Honor and Maid of Honor. My little granddaughter was one of two flower girls (will post images later this week).
The groom, Steve, is into all things medieval and as you can see below in the second image, I could not resist photographing the bride’s ring with the knight.
