Epic Imagery

This last Saturday I photographed Lauren & Erik’s wedding in one my favorite cities to shoot in, Pasadena, Ca. The day started in nearby Arcadia at Lauren’s parents house and ended at the University Club in Pasadena. Lauren made things very easy on me right from the beginning… looking radiant and very photogenic. After the ceremony at St. Philip Apostle Church, I escorted the bride & groom to the area surrounding Pasadena’s City Hall (one of my favorite places to shoot).

Kara & Eric ~ July 10, 2010

Shooting a wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu is quite nostalgic for me. This was my first “wedding photography” experience as a budding photographer more that 12 yrs ago. I photographed Kara & Eric’s wedding recently and have some great images I’d love to share! We actually started shooting at the Hyatt Westlake Plaza where both the bride & groom were getting ready. After grabbing details, toasts & the “bridal transformation” we were off to Calamigos. The ceremony was lush and beautiful, in a garden like setting. I also had the joy of working with Melissa Laudise of Let’s Do This event planning & coordinating. Enjoy…

The Roberts Family

Here is another super-fun family session! This session took place at the Neighborhood Church in Palos Verdes… a beautiful location with panoramic views of the Pacific. I had the pleasure of capturing Amber’s maternity session in early 2009, so it was great to get reacquainted and also finally meet & photograph little Greyson. I loved the outfits that Greyson wore for the session.. full of character & style! Additional thank you to Meghan Lubeck who assisted & captured several incredible images as well.

Oh Baby! Ava

I’ve had the pleasure of watching little Baby Ava go from a delicate, little newborn to a scrumptious baby girl full of laughs and smiles. Last week I made a trip to Manhattan Beach to photograph Ava… The session started when I snuck into her room to get photographs on her changing table. The moment I saw her laying there I started snapping pics.. she was so amazingly cute! Thank you to “mommy” Heather for giving me the joy!

Tablescape Designs & Details

This was an incredibly fun shoot… I had the pleasure of working with Deborah Gear from Deborah Gear Interior Design Studio and Jenny Barker from Magical Blooms. They put together 4 fabulous table designs. The session took place at the beautiful Occasions venue in El Segundo. Each tablescape had it’s own unique feel and theme… It was a joy to be able capture details, floral expressions and the artistry of these 2 talented professionals. Please enjoy a few of my favorites!

The Da Motta Family

Here is a recent session I photographed at Johnny Carson Park in Burbank. I had such a great time getting to know the Da Motta family! They have the cutest 19 month old named Enzo.. so full of energy! Here are a few of my favs!

Baby Breckin

I had the pleasure of meeting little Baby Breckin for the first time last Friday. This family have been great clients for me. We photographed mom & dad’s wedding 10+ years ago and have captured every one of their children as newborns. I did this photography session at my studio and loved the results! The top image is probably my favorite. I LOVE the way Breckin’s brother and sister’s are admiring his baby-ness. The image at the bottom is fun too. Breckin was born on St. Patrick’s Day, hence the appropriately placed Shamrocks!

Carina & Alex ~ May 7, 2010

Danny — Fri, 21 May 2010 16:15:24 +0000

Earlier in the month I had the joy of photographing Carina & Alex’s wedding in Burbank, CA. It was an absolute privilege and honor to be asked to capture this wedding for them. It was obvious to myself and everybody present that Carina & Alex have a very special relationship. I felt an incredible sense of honor and respect between them and their families.. and I hope I was able to capture this touching element! This wedding was also special for me because I photographed Alex’s parent’s vow renewal wedding a few years ago. I remembered Alex from this event and was overjoyed when he called me about his own. I started shooting at the Martinez residence and then onto The Castaway restaurant for the ceremony and reception. Also thank you to Meghan Lubeck for the wonderful assistance. Please enjoy a few of my favorites…

Sports Images

Here are some recent sport images that stood out to me! It’s been such a blast to get out and capture these… I’ve always enjoyed playing sports and consider them an important part of my life. To be able combine sports & photography is a refreshing change.

Jesica & Pete, one more

I had such a great time shooting at Jesica & Pete at Lake Balboa in March that I wanted to share another one! I love this image for several reasons.. the beautiful Cherry Blossoms being one. what are yours?
