Let me start by telling you that while shooting this engagement sesh, i was attacked and nearly defecated on by a White Owl, mauled by a bloodhound, and bitten half a dozen times by mosquitos in about 30 seconds. Ok, Ok, I am a city boy and exaggerating a bit...but MAN, this was an eventful shoot. Luckily, we have some killer photos to show for it. I actually met this couple at Melanie's wedding, John's sister, a couple of years back.
We shot all around Oakdale, and were on a search for an awesome country backdrop. We found some dilapidated barns, vintage cars, old trains, and beautiful orchards. Thanks for an awesome time you two, and yes, i am still itchy...

I had the pleasure of shooting Maryann and David's wedding in Escondido last weekend. It was at a beautiful Estate up in the hills and we were blessed with perfect weather. There was a fun patch of open land in the back with some cacti, (that's cactus pluralized...).
I met Maryann through Lisa and Kyle, and Lisa and Todd, whose weddings I shot a few years back. They are pictured below. I loved all the details of this wedding, from her fun shoes and lingerie, to the chocolate bars and little chairs that the name cards were on...Great job Maryann. Thanks for the opportunity to cover your wedding!

My favorite subject...my Pregnant Hot Wife! We had a lot of fun taking these, even though we were rushed...we had to catch a movie in like 20 minutes at the Freemont Theater. We took a fun trip To San Luis Obispo a couple of weeks ago, and we wanted to further document Jessica's pregnancy. Little Gavin is betting big in there! I decided to take her to Pirate's Cove, which had PERFECT light for this shoot. I love the silhouette shot! I had can't wait for the 8 month maternity shoot when she will be HUGE!

On the way back from San Luis Obispo, I stopped in Santa Barbara to shoot Atticus and Laurie's engagement photos. I met them at Lucky's steakhouse in Montecito for a drink, where we played the "Do you know?" game, (they both went to Westmont.)
We started at their amazing house in the hills in Montecito then drove over to the courthouse in downtown SB. It was a beautiful day! We finished up at a killer Cinco De Mayo festival on one of the nearby streets that were closed off. They had the colored eggs filled with confetti, or cascarones, which you break over loved ones heads to bring good luck. OF COURSE I saw this as a photo opp. I had a great time you guys! Thanks!

I knew this couple were gonna be good friends when I met with them months ago to shoot their wedding. Natalie is actually a sports agent representing Aaron Rodgers and Mark Sanchez...you may have seen her on TV during the recent NFL draft. Rob and I were going to golf before we shot these, but decided to wait until we can dedicate and entire day to the links. We met up for drinks at 230 Forest, my FAVORITE restaurant in Laguna Beach. Then we shot all around town, and I found some killer new places to shoot. The red phone booth is a staple for photographers, but I thought I would focus in on the couple inside and get some killer light coming through. Oh, and thats not a butt shot...i just love Rock and Republics.
We finished at Monarch Beach golf course and then on the beach right below. Yes, that is actually them rolling down a grassy hill. We had TONS of fun, thanks guys!!

(02.28.10 @ 01:09 PM)I am looking for a location much like this oakdale shoot - although I am already scared of Owls ;)
I was hoping you would share the barn and old car location and any permissions you needed to shoot out in Oakdale, my friends want engagement photos similar to these (they are fabulous)- I am just starting out and don't know too many locations.
Thank you!!!
