Jeff and Stephanie were married at the Yamashiro Restaurant in Hollywood last weekend. It was a beautiful small ceremony in the manicured garden courtyard, which during the winter, is tastefully covered. As expected – the words were eloquent, touching, and spiritual. Jeff and Stephanie put a lot of hard work into their own wedding and the decorations and party favors were just downright playful and creative gems. Photographing this wedding was a blast. Top hats, canes, and masquerade masks came out harkening back to the golden age of cinema and as the Yamashiro Restaurant sits perched above Hollywood and the Magic Castle – the night felt like stepping back into the bygone era of the starlets.

August 16, 2010 Marina Del Rey Wedding | Jeff and Lena
Jeff and Lena were married in Marina Del Rey at Shangai Red’s. The setting was beautiful, right along side the harbor – boats passing by, the sun dipping into the ocean. This couple are good friends of mine and I couldn’t have been more honored photographing their wedding.
August 16, 2010 Chamberlain Hotel Wedding Photography | Natalie and Sergio
A rooftop wedding at the Chamberlain Hotel in West Hollywood. It was a beautiful intimate affair. Set right at sunset, the clouds made for a dramatic sunset, perhaps trying to outdo the bride and groom. But to no avail, Natalie and Sergio were fantastic.
August 14, 2010 The Ebell of Los Angeles | Wedding Photography | Mike and Kathy
Mike and Kathy got married at the Ebell of Los Angeles in 2007. Also known as the Ebell Theatre (as it has a 1,200 seat auditorium), this 75,000 sq. foot wedding venue is a historic gem on Wilshire Boulevard in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles. It is an architecturally stunning venue with a beautiful courtyard for an outdoor ceremony and the adjacent detailed ballrooms are spacious enough to accommodate larger wedding parties. My wedding photographs of the Ebell of Los Angeles give you a sense of mood and style that a classic wedding venue can impart on your special day.

July 14, 2010 San Diego Wedding | Pat and Mindy
On March 27th, I got the opportunity to tag along with San Diego photographer Michael Tyler and shoot the wedding of Pat and Mindy . It was a great wedding- lots of friends, family, and love. And wow, these families knew how to party! By the time I left for my drive back up to Los Angeles, they had barely begun to kick the evening into high gear. It was a pleasure shooting along side Michael and I’m thankful he shared some of his expertise with me.
