    Orange County | California Coasting, Part 9

    After a couple days in LA, I decided to finally head even further south, extending my California Coasting road trip. For all the trips that I have made to LA, I have never actually gone the extra two hours to visit San Diego. Of course, I made just a couple stops along the way in…

    Kerry & Erik | San Francisco Engagement Photography

    This session was full of laughs and sweetness. Kerry, a teacher, and Erik, an actor/comedian/writer, were visiting from Los Angeles, and I had such a fun time with them, shooting in San Francisco’s Mission District and at Crissy Fields.   Related posts: Christine & Yang | San Francisco Engagement Photography Cindy & Joey | San Francisco…

    Pasadena & Alhambra | California Coasting, Part 8

    I visit the Los Angeles area almost once a month, sometimes for work but most often for no reason at all. I treat it like my second home. Kevin is not only my friend and business partner, but he and his wife Jenny and our other friends in LA are like family to me. So…

    Ventura | California Coasting, Part 7

    In my first two days of solo roadtripping, I met lots of interesting people and awesome animals, but it was quite nice to arrive in Ventura and be reunited with a human being that I actually knew– my Seaglass Cinema partner Kevin! I still don’t have a good grasp of what Ventura is all about, but…

    Abigail & Chris | One Year Anniversary | San Francisco Photography

When Abigail, editor of Wedding Row California, came upon her one year wedding anniversary with her husband Chris, we helped them to celebrate in style.

    Ojai | California Coasting, Part 6

    Prior to my visit, the best I could gather about Ojai was that it was a small town with a lot of farm land, and that people also like to go there for high end spas and relaxation. Both of those things seem to hold true. Ojai also happens to be where the Gardner family…

    Solvang & Santa Barbara | California Coasting, Part 5

    Solvang. It’s a little Danish town in California somewhere between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. This was my fourth stop on day two of my solo road trip. There are plenty of bakeries and windmills to go around, and the town also got a little feature in the movie Sideways. I also happened to…

    San Luis Obispo & Mission La Purisima | California Coasting, Part 4

    On day two of my California Coasting road trip, I awoke to the coast blanketed in fog. My first stop was Montaña De Oro Park which is often noted for its sand dunes and tide pools, but unable to find any trail maps and not having much time, I really just stopped by, said hello…
