Celebrity Photographer-Corporate Photographer
Last year I had the exclusive honor of photographing for Chopin Imports at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Their guest of honor was Annette Bening. It truly was a exciting opportunity. My photographs were featured in the Tasting Panel Magazine. I thought I would post the article so you could read about this wonderful Vodka and see my images.

JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort Photographer{Patrick + Shannon} Palm Desert
New Years Day 2012. What a great day to kick off the New Year by photographing a beautiful wedding at one of my favorite venues in Palm Desert. The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa is incredible. Patrick traveled all the way from Japan to marry his bride Shannon, who traveled from Hawaii to the have their destination wedding in Palm Desert, California.
It was a typical day in Palm Desert, temps around 82 desgrees, sunny skies, slight breeze. The hotel was bursting with love on this New Year's Day and Mark and I were there to capture every minute of it. I felt so blessed to be doing what I love and making lasting moments for this sweet couple.
The wedding ceremony was held at the Pointe on the grounds of Desert Springs Resort and Spa.
Shannon traveled across the resort via a boat, then she made her walk down the aisle to marry her groom.
Patrick and Shannon's closest family and friends traveled to Palm Desert to share in this sweet destination wedding. I love intimate weddings. Each and every person there is unique and special to the couple.
It was truly an honor to be a part of this military wedding. Patrick's uniform adorned all of his accolades he earned while protecting our country. The couple even used Patrick's military sword to cut the cake. How cool is that!
Enjoy the sneak peak at this beautiful Palm Desert Destination Wedding.

Claremont Senior Photographer
Yay! I photographed my first high school senior session of 2012. I absolutley love photographing these amazing grads. Samantha actually graduated early so she was Class of 2011. She graduated in Claremont in December and wanted to have some cool photos to show off this important time in her life.
We met and walked around downtown. I just love finding new knooks and crannies to photograph my seniors. The urban city style is one of my favorites. Samantha was super sweet and we had a great time. I enjoyed hearing about her exciting life in Claremont and her goals she has ahead of her. Congratulations Samantha. I wish you the best! xo

Scott + Samantha were just the sweetest couple. They met in Houston texas where Scott is from. Samantha's family is from Riverside so they decided on a destination wedding in beautiful San Diego, California.

Fun is exactly what this couple enjoys. They work hard so they play hard. Their wedding was filled with lots of fun and tons of love.
