Welcome to my new blog! I decided to take the time and figure out blogger (Google's blogging service) to take full advantage of the customization options it offers. I wanted to take control of the whole width of the screen to be able to show you larger images since that's one of the main purposes of this blog. I'd love to hear your feedback and please let me know if you have any issues viewing this blog.

Engagement Session in the Hollywood Hills

Heather and Travis are getting married in a couple of weeks at the Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo. I dropped by their cozy home in the Hollywood Hills earlier today to shoot their engagement session. We started shooting around the house and later we hopped in the Jeep to drive around the twirly streets of their neighborhood making a few stops along the way to include some amazing views of downtown L.A. and the canyons.









Elvis, the 3rd member of their immediate family tagged along...










We finished shooting on Laurel Canyon at this elegant restaurant called Pace.









I'm so glad Heather and Travis decided to shoot their engagement session around their home... I think it helps a lot when the place we shoot at has a meaning for the couple. I'm sure these images will help illustrate many stories to the generations to come.

Thank you guys for your hospitality! Can't wait to shoot your wedding, I know it'll be fun.

Engagement Session in Pasadena and L.A.

Last Saturday I shot Maria and Juan's engagement session. We spent a really fun afternoon, we took the train in Pasadena right outside my studio @ Del Mar Station to go to Union Station where we shot for a while and then we came back to Pasadena to shoot some more around my place. I'm looking forward to shooting their wedding in August.

Rehearsal Dinner Coverage at the Barcelo Maya Palace-Mayan Riviera

I spent a few days in the beautiful Riviera Maya recently covering Ana & Gordon's wedding.

The following are a few images from the first day of coverage which started with a short video session on the beach followed by dinner at one of the terraces of the Barceló Maya Palace Deluxe where we all stayed.

More images coming soon from their wedding at Xcaret Eco Park and 'trash the dress' session in the jungle and cenotes!
