Gary and Sunshine were married at a private estate in Malibu a few weeks ago. It was an emotion filled journey for friends and family. Cypress Sea Cove is a magnificent piece of property on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding. 

Deuce Events put together one of the best spreads I have ever seen at a wedding. The food was amazing! They threw Anise and Cinnamon on the grill to infuse the mini rack of lamb and shrimp skewers. So Good!








Busted! (I caught this little guy with a finger full of wedding cake…)

Here’s a couple of shots from Michika and Jayson’s wedding at the Huntington Hyatt. Their wedding was so much fun to be a part of, they are the nicest people and their friends are hysterical. They had a beautiful ceremony overlooking the pacific. Many guests travelled all the way from Japan and had some amazing Kimonos.

Michika’s wedding was planned by the fabulous DNT whom you may remember since we shot Naomi’s wedding a few months ago at Eucalyptus Lane.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hanging out with Michael and Danielle in their newly remodeled Santa Monica beach house. It is amazing and if I were ever to design a house from the ground up it would be my blueprint. Now on to the fabulous couple… They are both amazingly calm and so much fun to be around. We had a blast shooting all over the property and then headed out the back door to the beach.

The have such great style and we are in the process of designing some amazing pieces for their home. Carrie and I are looking forward to their upcoming wedding at The Beverly Hills Hotel next month coordinated by the fabulous Kathy and Susan of Bella Weddings and Events who were just recently named Best Wedding Planner of 2007 by MyFoxLA Hot List.

Last month Carrie and I flew out to the East Coast to photograph Jonathan & Becca’s wedding in Vermont. We made a family vacation out of it and spent an extra week in the Berkshires visiting family. Carrie and I drove historic Route 7a to Vermont. It is an unbelievable drive through the country and far better than the 405 down to the OC :-) The location for the wedding was the summer home of the Lincoln family (actually, Abraham Lincoln’s son). It’s called the Hildene and is located in the perfect town of Manchester, Vermont. I highly recommend a visit there.

Jonathan and Becca’s wedding was an emotion-fest! It was such a great gathering of old friends and family and you could see how happy everyone in the room was for them. There were some great highlights such as Becca’s brother who is a classically trained Opera singer singing the ceremony opening and Becca herself busting out ” I can’t take my eyes of you” as a surprise for Jonathan. If there are any talent scouts reading this give her a call. Seriously! It was amazing!! I have never seen a room captivated like that.

Carrie has been hounding me for weeks for a couple of fresh pics of Kennedy…Here ya go baby :-) I know I have been behind on blogging lately but I am prepping some great stuff that we will roll out starting tomorrow with Jonathan and Becca’s emotion filled wedding at The Hildene in Manchester, Vermont. (Yes Jonathan they are finally ready! Check your email :-)
