Pam & Geron tie the knot!

This was quite a beautiful and private event at the French Estate in Orange. I love this place! Pam & Geron are a really sweet couple whom I've grown so fond of, just great people with an amazing love for each other. When I see Pam there's this beautiful warm and big smile, such a pleasure to see. Geron is your typical boy next door type of personality, very warm and friendly. I truly enjoyed myself photographing them.  A big thanks to Bill Grunklee, my friend from my old church in Fountain Valley Cornerstone.  He came along to 2nd photograph and to shoot a little video, highlights to come later. Here are some of the photos:

How about that, the bride making her way into the French Estate with a lovely smile!

Have some photos to show from Aut & Christian's wedding out in San Diego. This is a wedding I've been anticipating for almsot two years, that's how much in advance they booked me  which is real good, and also because I got to see my friend Jennifer Reaback who referred me to them. Jennifer married last year out in Redlands and it's been so nice knowing her and Nate, it's been a blessing actually.  Aut is a very pretty girl with really beautiful facial lines, she and Christian photograph really well. They are both such calm and laid back people, just the kind of people you want to make friends with.  Christian is a Harvard med student getting ready to graduate pretty soon.  The day was beautiful, warm and clear. My friend David Ham who lives in San Diego was kind to come along as a very important 2nd photographer.  

Here's are some of the images:

I Love simple plain backgrounds that isolate the subject with a tad of color.  

Here's Aut looking marvelously beautiful!

The first look

The church glowed in soft light  

Thoughtful

By the power in me, I pronounce...  

You may now Kiss...

Have some photos to share from Pam & Geron's engagement session at Laguna Beach. We met up at about 4pm at famous Moss Street Point. We had the company of a swimsuit photo session going on and also what looked like a family portrait session. The weather was phenomenal, and the couple, we let's just say they took care of themselves while I photographed them. Very warm and loving pair of teenagers!! Here's a few of them.

ISO 400 F4.5 1/2500

Love the look and the flag's a bonus  

One of my favorite,  

Beautiful rim light, just crossing them at a perfect angle, great dark tone in the back.  

Love this one too. 

Great looking couple! 

Footprints  

This one gives me a  serene peaceful feel, a little different on the angle, it works!!

The cropped version

Love the sparkle and glow from the sunlight reflecting on the surface

Wrapping it up and on our way to our cars we saw this nice doorway

and the sun began to glow

Was a beautiful day for a session!  

Here's part two from Christina & Zach's wedding.

Some words from Zach's brother Ian who was also the Best man  

and from Christine's cousin Laura, who was also the Maid of  Honor  

Christina & Zach love salsa dancing, so why not have a salsa band and some friends for Salsa Dancing Lessons.  

Soon it was time to decide the next lucky bride

And cousin Laura's got NEXT!!

A perfect wedding day!
