It’s no secret that we love to travel. But for many people the question is WHY? Especially with kids? And why on earth do you love it so much? The flights, TSA, jet lag, hotels, long car rides, unfamiliar eateries, and PACKING…I mean, it’s not all fun and games, so what’s the deal? Let us...
Nothing at Billie & Scott’s wedding was less than completely awesome. They got married in Burlington, Vermont at a museum… but not your ordinary museum. The Shelburne Museum is a collection of 30+ historic buildings (and a steamboat) that a rich eccentric lady from NYC collected over the years and moved to her property in...
One of the things that Gary and I are SUPER passionate about is what we call “giving back”. What we mean by this is that we recognize how MUCH God has blessed us and in return we try to bless others, both financially and thru non-financial means (activities, lifestyle choices, etc…). We also are SUPER...
This is pretty much our life & business mantra: More info on this project can be found here at the Holstee Website (which is RAD by the way). Tell us you loved this as much as we did??? We feel inspired (even though our whole family is mostly down-n-out with a cold and we’re running...
Rachel & Thomas are adorable (view their Engagement Photos & the wedding images below for proof ;) We loved loved LOVED photographing their destination wedding in Monterey, CA last month because not only are they SO clearly in love, but they also realized that this day was much more about their marriage than about their...
Linda and Mark legally got married in a court house over two years ago, but due to the fact that Linda is from Singapore and a few family issues they were unable to have the church wedding they wanted, photos of their day or even start their life together. Since then, they have been dealing with visas,...
Gary and I have a special place in our hearts for couples who have short love stories. Couples who meet and fall in love so fast that they just can’t wait the usual 9-12 months to start their life together. Rachel and Thomas are one of those couples and it makes us so excited for...
It’s crazy how two people can look through a camera at the same people in the same location and see two COMPLETELY different things. Fortunately for us (and our clients) Gary and I see things extremely differently. Almost opposite perspectives actually, but when brought together, they compliment eachother and complete the story that we tell...
Gary and I are fairly obsessed with life having forward motion… of striving towards something and moving our life along a path towards a greater goal. We’re really good at getting things from point A to point B. And once we get to point B we’re always at a loss for what to do next....
One of our favorite organizations, UNIFEM, has launched a new campaign called Stop Rape Now. This campaign is striving to end rape in general, but is focusing on trying to end rape being used as a weapon of war. There are millions of women around the world that live with rape as a daily reality...
Megan and Michael’s gorgeous wedding from earlier this month in Santa Monica, CA. View Slideshow
In the midsts of a crazy wedding season, and LOTS of enagement shoots & weddings gone unblogged, we wanted to make a special effort and blog this session with Laura & Sean… they, are, awesome… they know no other way than to bring the party, and we can’t wait to party with them on their...
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...
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...
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...
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. Not only are they beautiful (and kind of stupidly photogenic), but they are...
Wanted to quickly share a few combined frames from a recent engagement session here in Oceanside. Our couples = the best!!!
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...
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...
