Jennifer and Stephen's Wedding
Saratoga Country Club, CA

It was such a pleasure photographing Jennifer and Stephen's wedding on August 2nd, 2009.
The ceremony was at the Saratoga Country Club over looking the valley, and not only did they write their own vows, but they added personal touches to their entire reception. They hired France Liu of Charmed Events to help coordinate their special day. A tennis theme added a fun element to the guest tables and showcased the couple's love for the sport. Flowers were provided by De Young Florists . During the reception, guests were entertained by video interviews from family, a personal slideshow featuring Animoto, and a sweet serenade by Stephen to Jennifer. Jennifer even baked her own cupcakes! My assistant Jason Lee and I were very blessed to be a part of their special day. Congratulations! Enjoy the photos!

First Year Anniversary Portraits inside the Magical Kingdom!
Over Memorial weekend, we photographed at Disneyland, CA, celebrating Jenn & Jerko's 1st Year Wedding Anniversary! These portraits are taken from Fantasyland to Adventureland to New Orlean's Square... We captured some special moments for a very magical couple who stays young at heart...

My favorite area, Fantasyland and the teacups!

Even Dumbo shares in the magic...

Wine Bottles

Here are some product shots of wine bottles for Fantesca Esate & Winery, in Napa Valley. Shot in my studio, a detailed set-up was used to minimize any reflections in the bottle and label.

Ashley's Portrait
After graduating high school, Ashley decided to invest in a special portrait session for herself, just before entering her first semester at college. Ashley contacted me after reading my reviews on Yelp.com and we scheduled a consultation beforehand to discuss the vision for her shoot. She had a bit of rock star in her and also wanted some fashion inspired shots. Ashley also wanted to celebrate her recent weight loss (you go girl!) and to remember this exciting transitional time in her life. This was her very first portrait session and she was a little nervous at first, but once we got started, she rocked the poses! Read a review of her photo session here.

Red Octane Photo Shoot

I had the pleasure to shoot Charles and Kai Huang, the co-founders of Guitar Hero, the rock n'roll inspired video game, in Mountain View, last week. Besides getting to shoot and talk to these nice, down-to-earth guys who've launched one of the best-selling games of our time, I got to play the newest Aerosmith version of Guitar Hero III, inside Red Octane's personal game room! The new series of wireless guitars are also a beauty, based on a Les Paul model with interchangeable face plates. Fans can get a customized look from the Smashing Pumpkins, Alice Cooper, Guns n' Roses, to name a few. This past Monday, the brothers attended the induction of rockers like John Mellancamp & Madonna at New York's Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Museum. No doubt we will have a lot more music to look forward to in Guitar Hero IV. Rock on!

Jackson at 21 days!

Here are some baby portraits I took of Florence & Ray's 2nd baby boy just before Valentine's day. Jackson was 21 days old and very mellow and sweet. He was very good at being photographed on different fabrics and loves to be massaged. Dylan, Jackson's 2 1/2 year old brother brought Jackson & Mommy some flowers after pre-school. They were a delight to photograph!

Welcome Danica! At just 10 days old, Danica, daughter of Jessica and Daniel poses for a portrait with me. Weighing over 7 pounds at birth, she is still so tiny, but with a cute tuff of hair! When she opened her eyes, she was very alert and inquisitive. Her delicate hands and feet are just so precious...
