Welcome to "The Blog"!!!

We specialize in fine art documentary weddings – corporate and lifestyle stock imagery - and highly effective headshots for models, actors, and businesses. We are located on the border of LA and Orange County, about 20 minutes north of Disneyland. If you’re looking for the most up to date info, check out the various info pages along with some of our latest posts. For a more detailed portfolio, click on the website link at the top of the page. Although most of our weddings take place in the Los Angeles – Orange County area we love to travel. Santa Barbara and the bay area are perennial favorites. We are looking for couples who place a high value on photography and want something tailored to your vision and personality. We only accept 20 wedding commissions per year. This allows us to have a hands on, and personal approach to your photography and album design. Planning something interesting, we have 4 spots left for 2008 and we are booking now for 2009. Call for a consultation, we’ll set up a time to meet and customize something to fit your day.

    AJ and Christina at Descanso Gardens

    Escaping frigid weather, AJ left med school, bound for warm weather, holiday fun, and a much needed reunion with Christina.  While here, we met up at Descanso Gardens for their engagment shoot.  I’m just starting the editing process, but I thought I’d post a few fun images while they wait.  The rest should be online by the end of the week.  Enjoy!!!

    Conny McCormack Retires!!!!

    Our dear friend and neighbor Conny McCormack, Registrar of Voters for Los Angeles county retired at the end of the Year.  Long time friends, co-workers, and election officals past and present, gathered for her official retirement party / ROAST on Jan 3rd!!!  We were lucky enough to be invited to take part, and of course I took my recently aquired D300 for a test run.  Even the Iowa caucauses couldn’t put a damper on this party!!  Since so many flew in from around the country I’ve placed the images  ONLINE  for all to view and enjoy.  Just drop Mick or Conny a note for the password.  Enjoy!

    We all wish Conny the best of luck on her new consulting adventures and we look forward to many a good giggle when she shows up as a talking head for CNN or heaven forbid; Fox News.  YIKES!!

    Wedding Fashions from Italy!

    We are finally editing the images from our sojurn through Italy.  If you’ve ever wandered the streets around the Spanish Steps the window displays from the large fashion houses can’t be missed!!  For those interested in future trends, it looks like red is the new accent color.  I don’t know if it will ever make it to this side of the pond,  so here are a few images to peek your interest and imagination.

    Mary and Jay tie the Knot in Long Beach.

    The Yahoo PhotoBooth made a surprise appearance at Mary and Jay’s fabulous wedding in Long Beach this past weekend.  While we await the wedding images, I thought I’d upload the photobooth and give everyone a giggle.  In honor of all the OC lawyers who participated, I’ve decided to officially change the name to simply; “MugShots”.  Special thanks goes out to Dan and Jordan, who took control, wrangled the crowd and added their special touch to the evening.  I have it on good authority that both are rethinking their carriers with a nod toward a future in photography; although Jordan told me privately his real dream is to “Direct”!!  For all who wish to take a peek, the photobooth images are ONLINE under the heading “MugShots“.  Mary and Jay have the password.  Enjoy!!

    The Loft

    Fara dropped by the loft with her wedding dress for some Bridal portraits to surprise Steve.  This is also a great way to test your hair and makeup before the wedding day.  The proofs are online for all to view, except Steve of course.  Fara has the password!  Bridal Proofs

    I think this image would make a perfect intro for their album!
