San Diego...

Which in German means... I forget, but what Jen & Kevin means in Irish is 2 rad people who bring the heat but are as smooth as Guiness (Guiness is a registered trademark of the Guiness brewing company & delicious :D)

"We want to shoot in a pub". When I heard these words, I jumped, probably literally :D We did some shots in the pub (photo shots, no shot shots) and then went around to a couple different areas in the great city of SD.

Jen & Kevin are stellar and I am honored to know them & be shooting their wedding in May. It will be... wait for it... RAD!

And now, the radity shall be brought

: Mandy & Chris' engagement session

January 2010
The hills... insert song & joyous frolicking here

World, I'd like to introduce you to Mandy & Chris. Little known fact, they are also part of the newly discovered Taxonomic rank or biological classification known as Radimus. This is applied to humans to have achieved the status of radical (or the short form known as rad) in the eyes of it's society. Mandy & Chris have done that, no problem!

The shoot was amazing, wonderful light, beautiful green grass everywhere, a little suggestion sign that was more of an invite and of course, two beautiful/handsome, wonderful & amazing people who love each other and are absolute naturals in front of the camera! Mandy & Chris, thank you! Thanks for laughing & adventuring with me, you two were rad!

More joyous frolicking after the jump!

Gilroy

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of going up to Gilroy for the wedding of Andy & Sara. I was able to go up there a little early to shoot the engagement session. Of course, it was raining. No worries though, we did a two parter. Day 1 in the park down the street from their house and Day 2 after the rehearsal in the forest... yup, forest. freakin' awesome!

La Verne, CA

This is Casi & Ryan, they're pretty much rock stars, but not the rollin' 30 deep entourage type. They're the sign all the autographs / take pictures and then roll out to the local burger joint to hang out and catch up type rock stars. So what I'm sayin' is they're phenomenal people and I got to hang with phenomenal people on Sunday in La Verne. Almost a bust because the spot that Ryan found was awesome, only problem was the gates were locked :)

But I think we rocked it despite the locked gates! So I give you the guitar playing & singing duo of Casi & Ryan, as heard and photographed in La Verne.

Commence awesome...

Corona Del Mar

My apologies to the residents of Corona Del Mar. Due to the extreme heat of Jana & Nate, the beach is no longer a beach. It is now glass. But hey, good news is it's still beautiful! So sorry, but they can't help it, they were born with it.

Not only do they have model good looks, but they're wicked smart & freakin' funny. That equals win, win & yes - win.

Jana & Nate, mahalo for the ride down, great conversations and all around awesomeness!! Stoked for September!!

Not quite the spot for the first kiss, but close enough

One of my faves (as featured in the new website!)

Umm, yes please! Another favorite

"Can we go on the Life Guard tower?" Absolutely, I'm always down :) Another favorite

Another favorite - so much fun

Yup, another favorite

This is the "listening to Zeppelin" look or the "move over Bond" look or the "cute & cuddly" look. It's like choose your own adventure. Well done Nate!

Seriously loved the whole shoot, you two rocked it!! It was a blast!! And Claro's on any day except Wednesday, I'm down!
