I was privileged to shoot another weekend wedding down in San Diego back in November. Sheila and Leo did their engagement shoot with me at Balboa Island a couple months prior and brought me down for the weekend for their beautiful wedding. The hotels and the reception were held at the NTC Promenade which use to serve as the home community for the families of the men and women at the nearby Naval Base. This place was awesome since everything looked so military but it was all turned commercial for the surrounding community. At first arrival, my team and I definitely thought we were entering a military base of operations. We started shooting in the morning at Sheila’s suite and met up with the guys and everyone else at the church. Everything, everything about this wedding was absolutely gorgeous, from the 22 person entourage to the sushi appetizers and the super hip photobooth. We had a blast capturing their moments and wouldn’t hesitate doing it all over again. Go Chargers!

So I just found out that THIS is their secret to SEXY BIG HAIR. lol

Guestbook and Album Design

Posted in: thoughts

I’ve been experimenting with guestbooks and designing albums for my clients and if there’s anything that I’ve learned its that simple is better. One of my photoshop teachers back when I was in school would always say KISS KISS KISS! Keep it simple stupid. When designing my albums I’ve always tried my best to stray away from over populating, 2-5 pictures per spread and let the image speak for itself. Designing guestbooks is probably the best place to really get your creative, yet simplistic, juices going, plug and play and crop in unfamiliar places and you’ll love the end result.

Caritina and Daniel Preview

Obviously you cant tell a woman you just met you love her
But, It sucks that you cant
I’ll tell you something though,
If a woman, not you, just some hypothetical woman
Were to bear with me through all this
I think I’d make a damn good husband
Because that’s the stuff I’d be good at
Stuff like making her laugh and being a good father
And walking her five hypothetical dogs
Being a good kisser

I’m a huge fan of a couple television series. The other day in preparation for my trip to Thailand and in withstanding a very lonely 18 hour flight, I went ahead and bought a couple more of my favorite seasons of my favorite shows. With my coolest new Sony DVP-FX950 Courtesy of Gaby, I’ll be all set to go. I’ve never been a DVD collector so this was a huge hit on my wallet but hey if you watched these shows you might know a little bit of what i’m talking about! Spartacus, The Office, Friends, Chuck, Outsourced, etc. This quote was from How I Met Your Mother and it really explains in hopeless romantic terms, the journey it takes for a guy to find that one girl who deserves his ring on her finger.
