Style by Tonia | Hair Stylist

I’ve been going to Tonia to get my hair done for a few years now.  Every time I go, my hair looks fantastic!   This last time I went, she styled by hair with loose curls and I loved it.  My hair looked good, smelled good, and felt good!!  It stayed in for a couple of days and I got so many compliments.  I highly recommend Tonia.  She’s friendly, professional and fun.  

Ceremony Magazine | Rancho Las Lomas Wedding

This wedding I shot with Zoom Theory Photography was also considered a wedding of distinction in Ceremony Magazine.  The floral designer was incredibly talented and AMAZING!!  Inviting Occasion completely transformed the venue while the guests enjoyed their cocktail hour.  I will never forget the head table...a mirrored table with a multitude of flowers and silver candelabras.  So many candles and so many beautiful flowers.  Not to mention, Rancho Las Lomas was a photographers dream!  Botanical gardens, exotic animals, fountains, arches, stone walls...GORGEOUS!  So thankful for these opportunities to see beautiful venues and work with such talented individuals.

Ceremony Magazine | Laguna Beach Wedding

Yay!!  Another event published.  I shot this wedding a few months back with Meredith from Zoom Theory Photography at Hotel Laguna in Laguna Beach.  It was considered a wedding of distinction in Ceremony Magazine for Orange County 2012 weddings and events.  This magazine is full of great ideas, vendors and beautiful imagery from past weddings.  A great resource if you are planning a wedding ;).

While shooting this wedding I actually met/found the DJ for our wedding.  Roderick from VOX DJ's did a fantastic job and definitely stood apart from the crowd.  Of all the weddings I had shot...he was the only DJ that I really enjoyed.

Autumn Lights Los Angeles 2010

Alright, this post is so long overdue.  Better late than never! Back in September Alan and I went to Pershing Square in downtown LA to see local artists go crazy using the medium of light.  There was music, video, installations, paintings...you name it.  It was pretty cool overall but I have to admit, I was a little freaked out by some of the installations.  You have to go and check it out for yourself to know what I'm talking about.  So anyways, the photographs below were all done by Alan.  He's been a superb apprentice and is on his way to becoming an exceptional photographer.
