Orange County Engagement Photography| Oana & Alin

08.25.10

Oana and Alin have a very special place in my heart as they are both from Romania. I have been to Romania twice and my wife and I almost moved there to be full time missionaries when we got married. Besides my love for there country these two have such a unique love for one another, and are so much fun to be around. Alin is an artist himself and has a great eye for what makes a great photo. Oana is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met and I can wait to shoot her wedding next month. Enjoy the engagement session!

Orange County Engagement Photography| Whitney & Mike

On Monday I went out to shoot Whitney and Mikes engagement session and I can not tell you how much I loved shooting these two. Whitney is the sister of a groom that I am shooting in August and it is always fun to shoot siblings weddings. Whitney and Mike are getting married in April down in Laguna Beach and I can not wait to see these two seal the deal. Thank you both for such a great afternoon.

Enjoy!!!

Los Angeles Engagement Photography | Leah & Jason

06.05.10

HUGE POST WARNING!!

I like getting things done, so this morning I woke up and edited the engagement session I shot yesterday up in Pasadena. Leah and Jason are such an awesome couple. Leah is a designer and Jason does everything from building brands, design for clothing companies and also has his own brand of clothes called Anza Clothing. They pretty much rock.

When we talked about there engagement session Leah and Jason said they have a friend with an amazing house in Pasadena that they wanted to shoot at. Of course, I was game and wow was the house amazing. I always love shooting new places and engagement sessions that are not like all the rest. We played in the house for a while and then went to down town Pasadena to finish the day. Check out how cute these two are.

BTW, Leah and Jason were the winners of the Wedding Chicks awesome Honeymoon giveaway.

Alice M. says:

I am Leah's aunt so I really looked over the pictures closely. There was not one that I didn't like but I really loved the one in the white rockers with the dog, the black and white photo in the bathroom and the one under the tree where she is looking over her shoulder at Jason - the look on their faces just screams LOVE. The house used for the shoot was fab. The scrabble quilt was a nice touch as well. You are very creative so I can't wait to see the real deal at the wedding in Palm Springs.

Los Angeles Engagement Photography | Jenna & Bryan

05.31.10

On Friday I went up to LMU to meet Jenna and Bryan for their engagement session. Jenna and Bryan wanted some images with their cute little dog Annabelle, and I am so stoked on how they turned out. Sometimes dogs can be a little crazy but she was perfect for her portrait session. Jenna and Bryan got all dressed up and we shot around LMU and then headed to the Santa Monica Pier to finish the evening. It was so great getting to know these two and I am so stoked for their wedding in September.

BTW, Jenna's dress was freaking ridiculously gorgeous!

Enjoy!!

Switching Album Designing to InDesign!!!!

05.26.10

InDesign is the way to go. I have messed around with it before but never really sunk my teeth into using it because Photoshop was working. When CS5 came out of course I went and got the new toys and decided to give it a go. My buddy Mark Brooke sent over his templates for me to try out and OMG it was so easy and so much more effective than Photoshop. I know some of you are going to say, "of course it is made to design", yeah now I get it.

First off it can all be drag and drop. Love that!!! Second the images are so much easier to change in size and shape while keeping what you want lined up lined up. I am going to quit with the succession now because I will be spelling out numbers for a while. Once an image is laid down you can go back in PS and edit the image and when you go back to the album the image is there already changed just like you made it. This is great because if you want an image to be B/W you don't have to do anything except edit the original. Time Saver!!! Adding strokes and changing page colors is super easy. If you have three frames and you want one image to cover all three you just click a button and bam, the image go to all three instead of one. There are million other reasons so if you want just ask!!

All of these were designed with Mark Brooke's templates which I highly recommend to you. There are some pretty FUNKY designs in there. It is also super easy to design your own templates or just add to the ones you got. I am going to put a link at the bottom of this post so you know where to go to get these. I hope this was helpful and if you have any questions please let me know.

This is from Jaclyn and Tyler's engagement shoot earlier in the year!

Full Discloser: I do get a cut if you order the templates after clicking from my site!!!

Click Here to get them!!

Orange County Engagement Photography| Kristen & Morgan

03.02.10

I had so much shooting this engagement session! When I met with Kristen and Morgan I knew that these two were going to be so much fun to work with. They are a great looking couple and such a cute chemistry with one another. I love shooting engagement sessions and getting to spend that time with each one of my clients. It is so crucial for me to get them comfortable being in front of the camera before there wedding day. I will be speaking about this at WPPI at the PRO DPI booth so stop by and check it out. Thank you again to Kristen and Morgan for such an awesome day!

Long Beach Engagement Photography | Heather & Ryan

02.17.10

I know, two posts in one day! Yesterday I headed up to shoot with Heather and Ryan to Long Beach at yet another place that I have not yet shot an engagement session at and I was so excited with how they turned out. The light was amazing and Heather and Ryan were so great in front of the camera that it made my day very easy.

This is not a place that I would have picked to shoot but as I started shooting it reminded me that you can make amazing images anywhere, you just have to think about what your going to do and have a vision for what you want the final image to look like. I love shooting engagement sessions because I really get to know what my clients are like during our time together and see the little things they share in how they love each other.

Thank you Heather and Ryan for an awesome shoot and I can not wait for your wedding!

Orange County Engagement Photography| Jaclyn & Tyler

02.17.10

Last Friday I headed out to Caspers Wilderness Park to shoot with Jaclyn and Tyler! I am always a fan of shooting places that I have never shot before so I was stoked when they told me where they wanted to do their engagement session. Jaclyn and Tyler are both great people and both love the outdoors so Caspers was a great location to shoot with theses two.

There is something so awesome about shooting engagement sessions that reminds me of how much I love being married to my wife. The freshness and spark of a couple that is getting ready to be married tends to be contagious in my own marriage. I love being in love and had a blast shooting with these two. Check them out!

Orange County Engagement Photography| Tara & Dan

01.12.10

I guess it is officially engagement season. I love this time of year, getting to meet new couples and shooting lots of engagement sessions. Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Tara and Dan shooting their engagement photos. Dan works at Saddleback church and wanted to capture some of the amazing textures and colors of the buildings so that was where we started. I had no idea how cool the refinery was until we got there.

After shooting some there we headed out to shoot a little different scenery. Tara and Dan both love the outdoors so that is where we went for a little rustic nature looking shoot. I swear every time I get to work with new couples I am reminded about how much I love my Job and humbled that people let me be a part of such an amazing time in their lives. I will shooting their wedding in March in Newport and can not wait. Here are just a few of my favorites from the day. Thank you Tara and Dan for such an awesome afternoon.

Orange County Engagement Photography| Ashley & Ross

01.08.10

I have been so excited to shoot Ashley and Ross' engagement session. Ashley and Ross were the winners of my 2010 Wedding Giveaway and are such a deserving couple. I had such a great time shooting with them and getting to know them. We started in downtown Santa Ana where I am having my workshop in a few weeks and then ended up at Crystal Cove in Newport Beach. I am so looking forward to their wedding in June at the Newport Beach Marriott.

Here are just a couple of my favorites from the day. I will be posting my images from Switzerland in my next post and then have a few lined up showing my favorite images of 2009.
