Santa Barbara Courthouse Engagement

What a treat it was for Angie & I to come out to Santa Barbara Courthouse. The day was so beautiful and warm as was their love for each other. While attending the University of  California Santa Barbara their lives crossed paths and they have been together ever since. These two, both being educators, choose the Santa Barbara Court House for it’s fond memories of time the were in school together. We are so grateful they choose Angie and I to Photograph their Engagement Photos and we look forward to their Wedding in August.

Vince & Alex were so much fun to be around. It is obvious to anyone who knows them that they are perfectly in love. Vince also brought out his Harley for the shoot which was especially cool. We might also note that Vince & Alex were this years contest Winners, and we are looking forward to shooting their Wedding in November.

Nicole initially contacted Angelica and I for a maternity session however, this beautiful newborn baby boy came slightly earlier than expected. i guess time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all. This of course was an unforeseen blessing in our point of view. What an easy going Newborn Session with such a sweet quite baby boy. Nicole we thank you so much for having Angelica and myself to your home for this shoot. You were warm, hospitable, and so very friendly to us. Congratulations on your new baby boy.

Santa Clarita Maternity Session

Always a pleasure to shoot Keith & Stephanie. They are certainly one of my favorite couples, and it seems like days not years since we shot their Wedding. Here they are expecting a new baby girl. As usual, Stephanie looks beautiful and stylish as ever. Keith, one of Los Angeles finest, looks perfectly matched with his fabulous wife. This spot, located in Santa Clarita Valley was a perfect area for this session. Thank you once again Keith & Stephanie for allowing us to be your Photographer.

Santa Monica Engagement Pictures

Back to the Santa Monica Pier we go with Vito & Kayane. We really hope they had as good of a time as we did on this fantastic shoot. We got a pimp to pose in the pictures, hung out with Fisherman, we got yelled at by a dancer stating ” your picture taking are messin up my grove man”. Can you say GOOD TIMES! We laughed, had fun, played around, and best of all got great photos. Santa Monica Pier is never a disappointment for Engagement Photography. We shot  pictures on the Santa Monica Pier, under the Santa Monica Pier, on the sand with the beautiful sunset and the Santa Monica Pier in the back round with the colorful Ferris Wheel glowing a rainbow of colors. We were especially pleased with the Sunset. Thank you once again Vito & Kayane for trusting us with your Engagement Session and your Wedding Photography. We look forward to your wedding in April.

Congratulations to Jordan & Shannon Martuicc. I had met up with Shannon in Lake Tahoe when I had shot her brother Casey’s Wedding. It was such a fun time, and as I was shooting I got to know Shannon and Jordan (Her Fiance at the time). They had told me of their own Wedding plans and how excited they were. As it turns out, here I am shooting their Wedding as well. What a unique Wedding that had taken place at the Hip Kitty Jazz & Fondue, and as you can see, a colorful exciting Venue. This Wedding was full of laughter, emotion, and just plain good times. I even saw persons from four Weddings I had shot over the past 4 years that were connected to Jordan & Shannon. What a small world we live in. At this Wedding, I really tried to do a dramatic and different Wedding as per Shannon’s request. Please enjoy these images guys. I truly wish Jordan & Shannon the best, and I appreciate being present at such a fabulous event.

(Below) Shannon wanted a picture  in front of Casa 425 Hotel. I decided to shoot this one from across the street.

This photo below was shot inside the Hip Kitty Bar area. Jordan described a scene, and this is how we portrayed it.

(Below) I love the deep colors and unique atmosphere in the Hip Kitty. A perfect place for an intimate Wedding.

(Below) I love this last romantic photo of the night with Jordan & Shannon’s Silhouette on the right of the frame with everyone else dancing below.

Walt Disney Concert Hall Engagement Session

Walt Disney Concert Hall is always a pleasure to shoot Engagement Pictures. Of course, since we have shot at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in the past, our challenge is to make it look unique every photo shoot. Well, what better way to make  the pictures unique and beautiful than shooting Greg and Maryann. A truly beautiful, happy, and unique couple. Both outstanding personalities caring and loving , its no wonder they serve our communities as dedicated Emergency Medical Professionals. Also, the chemistry between Greg and Maryann in combination with the beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall made this Engagement Session easy. They were so considerate as they offered Angie and I beverages and attended to our needs above their own. Greg is fortunate to have such a beautiful Fiance, and Maryann is just as fortunate to have such a gentleman to take care of her until the end of time. We hope they remember what good times we had during their Walt Disney Concert Hall Engagement Session as we did for them. We thank you for choosing us to be your Engagement Photographers, and we are looking forward to shooting your Wedding in May.

San Francisco Photographer

Michael & Veronica were so much Fun! It actually was the only day out of 5 days that did not rain in the Bay Area that weekend. Actually Veronica and I decided to Cancel the shoot due to San Francisco’s weather forecast, however the morning before we had checked the Bay Area’s Forecast which had changed to sunny and slightly Cloudy only for that Saturday. I then started heading up from Southern California and although a little cold and windy, Michael & Veronica’s love kept the shoot warm and fun. We laughed and had such a great time. We shot on the Golden Gate Bridge, then in the City. I don’t remember ever shooting in a more romantic and iconic city than San Francisco. After the shoot, Michael & Veronica took us out to Dinner. Thank you so much you two for your hospitality in this beautiful city of San Francisco. It was truly an honor, and we look forward to shooting your Wedding in June.

Venice Beach Engagement Photography

Sergio & Stephanie were so much fun to be with. They choose the unique, yet iconic Venice Beach for their Engagement Session. So many interesting people to see, the smell of  legalized cannabis everywhere we turned. an occasional drunk asking for funding of their habit, an aspiring rap artist, you name it, Venice Beach California has it. We later hit the sand and did some fun sand fights. Sergio got a little out of hand and got his Bride to be, a nice Face full of Sand…FUN! LOL. Thank you so much Sergio & Stephanie for choosing Angie and I for your Engagement and Wedding Photography.

Venice Beach is such a colorful and Unique place for Engagement Photography

Everyone has seen this Venice Beach local below. It was hard not to incorporate him in this Venice Beach Engagement Session.

Sergio & Stephanie actually did throw sand at each other in these Engagement Pictures here at Venice Beach. This sand was real!

I could not help throwing in this behind the scenes shot (Photo: Angelica Virgen) We had such a great time during this Venice Beach Engagement Session.
