Kerry & Andy

Kerry is one of my dearest life-long friends. We went through high school together, saw each other through every major relationship for the last 13 years, worked together and partied in London together. Seeing your friends find their perfect match is one of the greatest joys in a friendship and Kerry has certainly found that...

Fashion Photography

I love fashion photography. It’s where I find much of my inspiration for wedding shoots, and it’s the sole reason why I buy Vogue & Elle and many other magazines that feature clothing I couldn’t pull-off even if I could afford it. I think fashion is art, and I think taking photos that add even...

Monica & Marc

We had the privilege of shooting Monica and Marc’s wedding in Palm Desert last weekend. Everything about the day just “clicked” for us: the weather was beautiful, the views were spectacular, Monica and Marc were such fun to be around on their wedding day, and they had THE BEST perspective on the days events (they cared much...

Valerie & Jordan: Engagement Photos

Meet Valerie and Jordan… on a beautiful SoCal day in a massive field/hillside of wild flowers here in Oceanside :) On the car ride home from their engagement shoot, Gary and I agreed that we were both insanely inspired by photographing them.

Helé de Beer & Génre Van Zyl

Our trip to South Africa was wonderfully refreshing in many ways, but one of my favorites was being reminded of the simplicity of singleness and bachelorhood. Gary and I as a couple interrupted a group of unmarried guys that was made up of our fellow travelers, our host and the many surf buddies that stopped...

Ethiopia

Gary and I leave today for Ethiopia. We are going to help a wonderful non-profit over there called AGAR (which is the Ethiopian word for “helper”) that does incredible work with the segments of society who cannot care for themselves. They do a lot of work with the elderly and just recently obtained a grant...

Tara & Matt

   Tara and Matt’s wedding on Sunday night in Del Mar was AMAZING on so many different levels. Due to the fact that we’ve been so far away for the last several years, Gary and I have had very few opportunities to shoot the weddings of our close friends, so I was THRILLED to get...

Krysta & Vince

Spent the afternoon in Santa Monica with the beautiful and impeccably dressed Krysta and Vince who will be saying their vows on the beach down in Mexico next  spring. To say we’re excited for the chance to shoot at a beautiful beach resort in April is an understatement! Gary and I left Joelle with my...

Beth & Josef

We were truly stoked to be a part of Beth and Josef’s wedding day here in Bend, Oregon. They were straight up “TROOPERS”… they let us take them to mosquito infested marshlands and even tromped through waist high foliage to get some great shots. Let these two be an example of pure awesomeness :) Here’s some highlights from their portrait session. Enjoy.  ...
