I took these photographs of the Hamiltons last summer – in the spirit of spring cleaning I am finally posting them to my blog! It was a lot of fun photographing Richard, Jen, and they’re very happy baby. Who, for some reason, was much more interested in leaves and grass than taking photos. A botanist in the making! We took these photos at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, CA.

I photographed Jenny’s bridal shower late last summer. The party was held at her parents’ home in Glendora – they have a fabulous back yard! What I wouldn’t do for that gazebo . . . .

I photographed Luan and Richie’s wedding in Emeryville, CA. They had a lively ceremony along the water, and the reception was held at the Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant.

It was my great privilege to photograph Shahla and Shazeb’s wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach. Beautiful day, beautiful ceremony.

I photographed Goody and Mike’s wedding at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. The ceremony was in a beautiful little chapel on the university campus, and the reception featured performances by several of the guests.

I photographed Jessica and Ramy’s engagement party in June and was an assistant photographer for their wedding in July. I mostly helped photograph the bride getting ready, as well as some photography during the reception. AAcreation was the main photographer.

We took these pictures shortly after Naomi and Eric got married – I see them as being in the spirit of engagement photos. We took the photos on and around Point Dume in Malibu back in July. Yes, it’s a bit tardy being posted!

I’ve been having website issues for the past 24 or hours or so. It’s awful! None of my slideshows will load, and everything else seems to be on again, off again. Yesterday the company said everything will be online again soon – this was at 4:30 in the afternoon, after the server had been down for six hours. Fifteen hours later things are still not right.
In the meantime, if you are trying to look at my images, please browse through the blog! Hopefully the company will get the server back up – or I will have to take my business elsewhere.
UPDATE: It looks like things are working now – if not a bit more slowly.

I’m very excited to have been accepted into the Wedding Photojournalist Association. The WPJA is an international association whose members specialize in capturing weddings in a candid and unobtrusive style. And it’s not the type of organization that any photographer can join. Photographers must undergo a portfolio review before gaining acceptance, and must adhere to held to strict membership standards regarding image quality and content, technical and creative technique, website and marketing professionalism, business ethics and communication.
Becoming a member of the WPJA has been a professional and personal goal of mine since I started my photography business, and I’m so happy that it’s now a reality. I’m also honored that my work will be alongside that of some brilliantly talented photographers. I’m really looking forward to growing as a wedding photojournalist in the years and weddings to come!

Please take note of our new mailing address, as the post office WILL NOT forward mail from my old address to the new one. Why must they be so evil?

I’m working hard to post some new events on here!
