Every few months I sell a few stock photographs of the places I travel to and recently I saw I got a rather boring photo of Burbank, California in my sold pile. The interesting part is it said it was going to an ‘in-flight magazine’ with a viewership of around 500k for the month of March. Anyway, after a little detective work I found it was appearing in this month’s Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine which I read all the time [you know, to kill the time]. Check it out, sadly no one ever buys my good photos- but nevertheless it’s pretty cool.

Great Blog, love the pictures

I wanted everyone to focus their attention on the Aramark building, that’s clearly the center of Burbank.

if anyone could make burbank look halfway decent …
Tanya and I love to go for walks, and since we got the Nike+ Sportband thing, we’re walking all over the place. Our little pup Riley is getting his needed workout too as he’s become a little porker [example: he raided the catfood today]. Anyway, there’s a great bike path that runs up and down the coastline here in LA so we walked up from Playa del Rey to Marina del Rey last night and enjoyed a great little sunset. There were Pelicans and Egrets everywhere too which was a nice treat. Soon I’ll be able to pull my florescent orange kayak out again when it gets a little warmer and less windy. I usually launch it from the little ramp in the top photo.

Ahh I love the middle shot! Beautiful! Feels like I am right there!
Stephanie and Michael are LA locals getting married in Texas where they met, but they wanted an engagement session that showed off their LA life [and to rub in the fact that the rest of the country is currently freezing with snow]. We decided to shoot in El Matador State Park, a tiny beach in Malibu that is one of the hidden gems of LA. It’s actually right near Zuma beach where we shot another Malibu engagement session last year. This wave-carved beach is one of my favorites because of the sea stacks, beautiful cliffs, tons of pelicans, and rock tunnels everywhere! We shot around sunset which has some of the best lighting and we got some photos that truly capture their love. Enjoy!

Great session man, I love the coloring!

That was totally not planned, Tanya forgot to warn everyone that a death wave was coming!

Very cute! Love the playing in the surf shot.
Tanya and I had been looking forward to Nicole and Joel’s wedding for quite some time. Not only was their wedding coordinated by the lovely Joy from Joy de Vivre and held at Firestone Vineyards, one of our favorite venues, the couple themselves were truly a pleasure to shoot. From the moment we met at their Palos Verdes engagement session we clicked and were able to capture beautiful photographs.
Nicole and Joel have a complete love for life…and each other. When Nicole walked down the aisle it was such an emotional moment for everyone – even Tanya teared up. Then, true to themselves, the couple’s ceremony was filled with laughter and excitement for the future.
Nicole and Joel did a great job incorporating some traditional elements into their day as well as fresh new ones. Check out Nicole’s awesome bouquet! After the sunset ceremony and some portraits, we headed in for a night of great food and dancing.
