Samantha and Michael had a very cool wedding in Moorpark, CA at the Moorpark Country Club. The venue is fairly new as golf course wedding sites go, and it is very beautiful, with lots of different locales for nice photos. I think the energy and fun of this wedding comes through in the images!

Kristen and Jared’s Westlake Wedding

Their weddings was an awesome event. All of the guests had a great time at Bocaccio’s Restaurant on the Westlake Lake. It is a great place to hold a wedding for less than 150 guests. The restaurant was decorated very nicely. The rented red lights that they put all around the room to create a very warm feelings. We adjusted the settings on our cameras to capture this excellent lighting. The food was delicious and looked gorgeous. Entertainment was provided by Chris from Elegant Event Entertainment. He was very respectful of the guests and once the dancing started, he kept everyone out on the dance floor. I am very happy with the photos we got – here are some:

Jordi & Seth’s Engagement Photos

Just finished a super fun engagement session with my favorite couple Jordi and Seth – we had a blast, and got some beautiful images. I think the photos really show how fun, friendly and special these guys are.

We did these photos in Kingsmen Park on the campus of California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. I photograph in this park often because it is a very pretty location with nice lighting and many spots for different kinds of shots.

I can’t wait to photograph Jordi and Seth’s wedding – I know it will be a special event!

This couple got married at the Maravilla Gardens in the Santa Rosa Valley near Camarillo, Ca. The gardens are a gorgeous place to get married. It blends a Mediterranean landscaping with early 20th century buildings. The weather was great with a spectacular sunset. The couple was fun to work with. They had there young son be the ring bearer.

Kristen & Jared Engagement Session

Just finished a fun engagement photo session with my favorite couple-to-be Kristen and Jared. We shot these photos in Santa Paula . It was a blast, and we got some great shots. They wanted something different – not the usual beach/park type of engagement portraits. Of course they are such a good looking team, it made my job easy…

We just made these engagement photos at Cal Lutheran’s campus on Saturday. A beautiful couple – great friends – great photos! We had a blast – took a picnic lunch and made an afternoon of it. So far they are having a hard time choosing which photos to use for their invitation. Here are some of my favorites:
