Jenny Say | Graduation | CSULB

Posted in: Graduation

Gaby and I had lots of fun doing Jenny’s grad pics. It was just a lot of walking around and taking pictures wherever we saw something interesting. Just how I like doing sessions, really relaxed, finding shots, finding great light, and shooting as long as we want in one spot. Ultimately we got some really great stuff and Jenny was a great model, thanks for completely trusting us. Please enjoy!

This last shot I felt like doing something different, whatever the reason, I like very much how it came out. Just thought about mixing it up with all the grain, flare, and the purplish hue.

Ressie + Matt | Married | Laguna Beach

Posted in: Wedding

Ressie and Matt’s wedding was held in a private beachfront residence in Laguna Beach. To get down to the house, you would have to take a cable car down to the main home across a waterfall cliff and a giant alligator. From the house to the beach was a long edgy wooden staircase that was met at the bottom with a small community of chairs for the ceremony. The weather was perfect, the food was beautiful provided by Chef Molly, and the decor was beautifully and tastefully done, all put together by Ressie herself. It was a very intimate wedding day and my assistant Nick and I were happy to spend it with Ressie, Matt, and their guests again. We enjoyed creatively catching their special day. Please enjoy!

 I used an off camera strobe to back light Kelvin and Bobby and just balanced the ambient light with it. Hope your photography education is taking off!
