Orange County Engagement Photography - Kristina and Mike
if boulder colorado had an ocean...
ahww... if only...
our conversation moved from one thing to the next, while they both continued to glow & smile. after dating for a number of years, we talked about how it is inevitable that someone at their wedding will make a comment like "it's about time" or "mike & kristina finally pulled the trigger..." but, at the end of the day, what matters most is kristina & mike's decision; their decision to take on this life together. and in the middle of it all, they are still the two young hearts that met at school years ago.
with mike still living in denver, i had yet to meet him, prior to the shoot. my nerves were settled as soon as we shook hands and i realized his heart was just as kind as kristina's. it would be a good afternoon.
so, we strolled down town san clemente, made our way to calafia, and called it a night after one rockin' engagement shoot. kristina & mike, i can't wait for the big day next spring!!
one of the first photos of the day, and kristina is already calm, collected, and ready to work it.
kristina asked if i could shoot the two of them dancing in the tide... uhmmmm, yes please.
okay... so, i couldn't resist. we stopped off at kristina's apartment in between locations, for a quick wardrobe change. because he has had nowhere to store it, kristina's living room has now become home to mike's fish tank. when asked to snap a couple frames of the aquatic escape, i was actually thrilled.
mike... the fish tamer ;)

Ventura Wedding Photography - Katie and Frankie
any day is better in good company... add a wedding in the mix, and who could ask for anything more...
when the rog and myself pulled into town, seeing that we had beat traffic, we opted for a sit-down meal at pete's breakfast house before starting the work day. over juevos rancheros & french toast, we chatted about life, business, and the day to come.
originally from ventura myself, there was a sense of nostalgia that made me that much more excited & anxious to get the day started. with one last fork-full of potatoes, we cleared our booth, and made our way downtown to michael kelley's salon to meet with katie.
the day was simple; it was about two people. and those two people love each other deeply.
when it comes to delivering photographs from a wedding, i'm always looking for that kind of genuine love. you can spend six figures on your wedding, or secure the most luxurious venue on the block or plan every little detail to perfection... but, without love, you won't like your photographs.
it's interesting how much value in what i deliver my clients is pre-determined by them, but i can tell you, without a doubt, katie & frankie will cherish these photos. for nothing that i have done in camera or in photoshop, but for the way he looks at her, the way she smiles at him... for those reasons alone, these photos are priceless.
enjoy.the.story.
roger & i swung by the candlelight bar & kitchen to snap a couple detail shots, before the ceremony.
...then we stepped into the salon & spa to meet katie.
both bride & groom rocked laces: katie's pink-laced all-stars.
the first look.
some might think i'm super-human, with the ability to instantly canvas a particular moment with a 100 yard radius... nope, i just make sure to bring the best assistant photographers. thanks roger.
we took a brief stroll down main street before the hill-top ceremony: downtown ventura california.
another from the rog: pre-ceremony.
and, now... man & wife.
one of my favorites from the day.

A Forster Mansion Wedding - Michelle and Justin
the music stopped, the clinking of silverware against glass slowly rose & faded, and all eyes turned towards the center of the tent. licking cake from his fingers, he began to speak, sharing his heart with the guests of his wedding. he honored them and thanked them, for not just being part of such a special day for he & his bride, but for playing such an important role in their story. today would be like no other; today would be theirs - forever.
all was good in the world, or at least, under the stars at the forster mansion.
the ebb and flow of the entire day seemed to pour out rather effortlessly [much thanks to darcie from joyful weddings and events], which left me & my assistant the joyful task of capturing a handful of photographs that might honor michelle and justin's story.
there's not much more i feel i can say, but offer the sincerest thanks. michelle & justin, you gave me the greatest gift you possibly could when hiring me to photograph your wedding day; you put value on me. it is one thing to think wedding photography is near the top of the priority list during your wedding planning. and it is an entirely different thing to value the person behind the lens. seriously, i am humbled and so grateful. thanks for the invitation.
so, without further adieu, i give you mr. and mrs. justin fraley... 'til death do you part.
michelle & justin spent time to scout the area surrounding their venue, and hand picked where we would shoot the handful of portrait sessions scattered throughout the day. location #1 - the cemetery.
location #2 - an old barn in downtown san juan capistrano.
roger joined me, as my assistant for the day, and i found this little gem when i was sorting through his images.
the details were simple yet articulate, much like the words of ernest hemingway. flowers by tara wheaton with megan's garden.
during the ceremony, i couldn't resist highlighting michelle's ink. i think lincoln would like this one.
did i forget to mention how perfect the light is at the forster; combination open shade and backlight... yes please. oh, and the perfect couple, to boot.
after the ceremony, we took a quick jaunt down to los rios district in san juan [location #3] and these two are one of my favorite pairings.
cover shot! BOOYAH!!!
soft. stoic. perfect.
again, thank you, for being a rockin' couple with rad style and a genuine heart. out.
