Cory & Jim's Wedding, The Canary Hotel









I can't tell you how thrilled I was to shoot this wedding. Jim & Cory are such a cool couple. They were totally into my ideas and let me "play". Plus they had the coolest family and friends. These two were so down to earth, and knew how to celebrate in style. Cory made planning this wedding look effortless, and was a STUNNING bride. Plus she had two amazing coordinators, Melissa & Zohe of Events of Santa Barbara Inc. They really were a photographers dream couple. Cheers you two!

Andrulaitis Family Portrait, Santa Barbara CA










I love this family! I have been photographing them Since Mary was pregnant with Eden! We had the best time at Alice Keck Park, looking at the turtles and playing in the tree's. As you can see Eden is gorgeous and gonna be quite the heart breaker, and Bode is just plain hysterical. He got us all rolling with his many, and I mean many silly faces. What a wonderful afternoon we had! Can't wait to see the card, Mary!

The Harris Family!






Brian and I got to go down to Sherman Oaks and photograph the coolest family! I have known the Harris's since their wedding a "couple" years back, and have been photographing them since! It was Lillian's second b-day (the day before the shoot). Can you say Dora was in the house. Everyone with children (or anyone who photographs them) knows Ms. Dora. From sinful Dora cookies (where the frosting is just as thick as the cookie) to the balloons. Too much fun! We also got a little time with Lillian's little brother Weston, who is just 6 months old. He is the sweetest baby and loves to smile. We had such a nice time catching up with everyone. I can't tell you what joy it brings me to be able to watch their family grow. As usual...I have the greatest job on earth. Happy b-day Lillian!

Diana & Len's Wedding









I love these two! Ok, first I must take a moment and say it has finally happened....it rained. There....it's out in the open. I have had the most amazing weather luck until last weekend. Yes, it rained. BUT...it cleared up quickly and turned into a fabulous afternoon...so I am not counting this freak occurrence. Thank goodness I was with these two adventurous souls. We had 15 min. to get the shots and it was raining...but that did not stop us. I'm sure we were a sight, with Brian holding the reflector over my camera, and my beautiful bride and groom getting a bit wet. Anyway, the day turned out amazing. The ceremony was incredibly touching and then it was off to the reception at their home which overlooks the ocean. Best view in town. I am thrilled we got to be a part of such a special day. I know the romance could never burn out with these two. Cheers Diana & Len!

The Spang Family












What a fun shoot! These two kids are beautiful....am I right, or am I right? Heck, the whole family is stunning and they all have those amazing eyes. We had such a fun play date with the Spang's at both their home and the park. I shot extra because I really did not want to leave. It took every ounce of my being and a gentle tug from my better half not to snatch these two up in my arms and claim them as my own. Thanks Spang's for a lovely Sunday morning.

Diana & Len's Engagment Session










Spent a lovely evening with Diana & Len last week! These two just ooooooze romance. Everything they seemed to do on the shoot just screamed at me how much they love each other....right down to a private violin serenade Len did for Diana. I had so much fun just watching them. From the softest kisses they shared to their silly sides which got the other one cracking up. This shoot brought so much joy to Brian and I. I can't wait for their big day....which is RIGHT around the corner. Cheers you two! We can't wait!

Down the aisle!

I can't tell you how much I love this video.
I literally found myself with tears of joy as I watched it. I only
wish I had the pleasure of meeting these guys and shooting the wedding.
Enjoy!

FOOD! My favorite!





I had the mouth watering pleasure of photographing some brand spakin' new items on the DoubleTree's menu. Probably the hardest shoot ever...as I was starving when I showed up! I drooled the whole way through. So if you have a wedding coming up...know they have added some AMAZING things to their already impressive list. Now, I am hungry again. I am hoping I have willed some magical dish to appear in my fridge. Will let you know what I find! :)
