Sayeh+Esmoreit's Wedding : Rancho Los Lomas

Hands down one of the coolest couples and raddest weddings we have ever received the pleasure of shooting. We started out with Sayeh and Esmoreit at the new, ultra-modern boutique hotel Seven 4 One in Laguna Beach. They were so relaxed about the wedding, they got dressed in the same suite (making for a really unique shooting opportunity). Then off to a Rancho Los Lomas for a beautiful outdoor Persian ceremony and reception. Our photos are an extremely accurate reflection of the day ... the B+G were full of energy and love and had an amazing time. Thanks to Nili of Rancho Los Lomas, Larissa from Inviting Occasion, and Popeh (Wild Orkid Weddings) for arranging and designing such a beautiful event ... making our job that much more fun!!

Peggy+Ryan Engagement Portrait : Downtown Pasadena

So we finally got the opportunity to photograph Ryan and Peggy (after so many years of knowing them!!). Ryan used to be my manager back at Ritz Camera in Newport Beach when we were both still in school. We've moved on to much bigger and better things ... I schlep cameras around and he sells them in mass as the western regional sales rep for Schneider Optics. So if you do video / cinematography or still hanging onto your 4X5, he's got stuff for you! And Peggy teaches at a local elementary school. We are super-thrilled to be their top pick wedding photographers... however Leanne will be working extra hard that day being I am the best man (and will most likely alternate carrying a camera and a cocktail all day :)

Congrats you two, can't wait for the big day!!
