Paramount Ranch Engagement Portraits

Aimee and Derick’s engagement photos were shot in my hometown of Agoura Hills, California, where Aimee and I both grew up. Like me, they share a love for the hills and oak trees of Agoura, so it was great to shoot at an iconic lone oak tree and Paramount Ranch.

Getty Museum Engagement Portraits

What an incredible day Nicole, Rob and I had creating their Getty engagement photos! We were blessed with a rare Southern California day of cloudy skies and sunshine (the clouds are the rare part and I’m basically obsessed with clouds!). The color was spectacular and we all had a great time at the J. Paul Getty Museum, where Nicole and Rob had their first date.

The above image is now a gorgeous 20×30 Fine Art Canvas hanging above Nicole and Rob’s fireplace. You can see a picture that Nicole sent me of their print on in our Customer Photos gallery on Facebook. When choosing large focal-point prints for their homes, I encourage our clients to select portraits that have an interesting design and a look that stands alone.

  1. Shauna Lofy I love this series, these images are absolutely stunning! Did you use available light for all this photos or did you use off camera flash or reflectors? March 30th, 2012 at 10:23 am

Rodeo Drive / LACMA Engagement Photos

Photographing Marja and Noel’s engagement portraits at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) made for a great collection of classy, urban engagement pictures, which suits them well. I was lucky to be able to spend the afternoon with such a great couple. Less than three weeks after this engagement shoot, I photographed their wedding in Newport Beach. It was especially nice shooting at LACMA because my father worked as a foreman on the recent renovations and additions to the buildings there. This was the first time I’d been there since the changes.

Venice Beach Engagement Session

Wendy and Aaron live in Arizona, but will be getting married this fall at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California. They recently came out for a visit when I shot their engagement portraits at Venice Beach, CA. We had an awesome time exploring and highlighting the uniqueness that Venice offers. I have a lot of good words for this shoot, but one word sums it up pretty well: COLOR.

Here’s more of Morgan and Brett’s engagement portrait session that our Facebook fans got a little sneak preview of right after the shoot. Morgan and Brett live in Idaho, but will be getting married next month in Malibu, at the beach and the beautiful wedding venue, Saddlerock Ranch. So, on their last visit to California, we planned to do these Santa Monica engagement portraits.

I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with Morgan and Brett. They’re both awesome, kind people, and definitely make a great match! I had a blast spending the afternoon chasing them around Santa Monica with my camera.

Downtown L.A. Engagement Session

Jenelee and Ryan asked us to photograph their engagement portraits around downtown Los Angeles, including the amazing architecture at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is a work of art in its own right. The modern style of the building really suits one of my favorite aspects of art and photography – design. The urban photography was a great fit for Jenelee and Ryan’s style and personalities. We had a blast together.
