This past weekend I had the joy of shooting Tara and Dan's amazing wedding at South Shores Church in Dana Point, followed by an awesome reception at the Turnip Rose in Newport Beach, Ca. As I have gotten to know Dan and Tara I have grown with excitement to shoot their wedding. The best thing about being a wedding photographer is being around people who love each other, and Tara and Dan are madly in love.
In simple words, they are just a perfect match. Dan is very giving and and a kid at heart, while Tara is extremely supportive and always keeping Dan in line. I had such a blast with these two while shooting their wedding that it made me feel like I was not even working.
Have an awesome time on your honeymoon!

Last Saturday was the kick off of an awesome wedding season with Molly and James at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton Ca. I was amped when Molly and James booked me because I really wanted to shoot at the Muckenthaler for a long time and they are just two people who are so in love that they make it easy to shoot them. The forecast for the day was rain, which made me happy, even though I love bright light I love the rain and it made for an awesome day with tons of great even light, perfect for wedding photography.
It has been a couple months since I had shot a wedding and I forgot how much I love wedding ceremonies. It always reminds me of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful wife and amazing life with her. Molly and James wrote their own vows and they each heard them for the first time during the ceremony which caused a flood of tears to pour and left everyone with a great smile.
Molly looked stunning in her dress and red shoes and was so light hearted and excited to get to be wed with her best friend. Equally James could not wait to have Molly be his bride. Thank you both for such an amazing day and reminding me of how amazing marriage is with your best friend. Have a great time in Hawaii and I can not wait for you to see the rest!

I can not say enough about how excited I am to get back film. I shot a ton of film when I was in Switzerland over Christmas and have been meaning to post this for a long time but just got busy.
I was so happy to see came of all these images from Switzerland. There is just something so magic about film and that way it looks. All of these were shot on my Holga with Fuji 800. I am pretty sure a few of these are going to be in my house.

As we continue to shoot this "The American Craft Brewer" project I am becoming more and more infatuated with the passion all these brewers have in creating craft beer. Listening to their stories and what they put into each different brew to make their beer unique is jaw dropping. There is something really unique happening in the craft beer world that you are going to want to be a part of, I really think this movement will be in the history books.
Yesterday, I was at Stone Brewing Co. to shoot some portraits and document the making of a collaboration brew between Stone, Victory and Dogfish Head. Once they tasted the test batch and all agreed upon the beer we got to see Greg, Bill and Sam "mash in" the first batch of this collaboration brew. I do not think I am at liberty to "sai" what it is yet but I will tell you that it will be amazing.
Here are a few shots from the day and one is of the "buff" boys adding in the specialty malts.
Jared says:
Rock! That is the most hardcore photo I have EVER seen of a craft brewer. Also, you couldn't possibly have captured Bill's personality better than that. Bad ass.

(03.23.10 @ 03:56 PM)Jeff, your shots are AMAZING. We are so in love with them. When you lined us up for a shot at the place I wasn't sure if it was going to look good but I trusted you and my trust in you didn't fail me. There is nobody on the face of the planet besides you that we would have wanted to shoot our wedding, not even me (being the perfectionist I am). You nailed it with this one bro and we couldn't have asked for anything more. You are great at what you do and keep doing it. We love you man and look forward to hanging out with you and the wife. Also when I get back you better let me help you cut the paint in the corners of your walls at your house. Thanks dude
