04.22.08 ~ Shannon + Julien

Meet Julien and Shannon. Shannon is a Los Angeleno while Julien is a Frenchman, working here he met Shannon and the rest is history. Julien's relatives flew in from the Rhone region of France for the celebration. Already here and in the cellar were bottles of Gigondas, also from the Rhone region of France and were a tribute to his family.

Russell of Stellar Films was my second photographer/ lighting assistant on this shoot. He shot color and black and white film, so we'll have to wait a couple of weeks before seeing the pictures. I'm excited to see the film shots in comparison to my digital shots.

04.17.08 ~ Liliana + Mike

It was nice to finally meet Liliana + Mike in person this past Thursday for our engagement session. In town from Michigan, amidst the Airline debacle this past week, couldn't keep our Liliana and Mike away. We played in Downtown Los Angeles, and even got a sneak peak at Cicada, the elegant restaurant that will serve as our reception location later this Summer.

04.06.08 ~ Eve-Marie + Donovan

When Eve-Marie called me to shoot her wedding, I heard was one of the loveliest voices on the other end, but was without a face to put with the voice. This weekend Eve-Marie and Donovan ( two cool names ~ his and hers. When your born with a name like Arlene, thats one of those things you notice about others. ) were down in Los Angeles this weekend from San Jose to have their engagement session. From various locations we got really cool backgrounds, from Dungeons and Dragons Mid-Evil Church to serene stream in nature.
