Style appeals to my brides. They have a "passion for fashion" just as I do. Samantha and Bejan were a pleasure to photograph. Their wedding was at the fabulous Montage Resort and Spa in Laguna Beach. Photographers ask me all the time, "how do you get your brides to do the things they do?" I reply "Be enthusiastic and simply ask." Enjoy!

"Tweaking" images is so much fun for me. All of my clients' images are retouched, and many of them get the extra "magic". Parker J has been such a profound influence in the shift in my image making. Enjoy!!

The style of my images is one of the most important reasons my clients hire me to photograph their weddings. I challenge myself to continue to learn and evolve in my image making. That ensures that it's always fresh and always fun. Enjoy!

I've got a fun idea. I'll show you some wedding images before and after "the magic". My buddy Parker always says "You can't polish a turd." It's true. You have to start with good images, then you can make them great.

These images were shot while Ingrid and I were visiting her sister in Phoenix. My brother in law is a trail guide and offered to be my "shirpa" on a hike. What a great offer. A guided tour and help carrying my camera bag. Awesome.

We all have so much to be thankful for today. I have a healthy family and I have my dream job, working as a wedding photographer. I make it a practice to be grateful everyday. I just heard an inspirational woman speak about "Thanks - living". Being thankful everyday. What a lovely concept. If you are having a hard time being thankful, I find that often an image can put things into perspective. I shot this after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Many times people on the streets are just hanging out. My method of shooting these people really depends on how quickly I see them or they see me. The first guy was actually looking at Becker while were in Mexico. I choose to shoot him from the side. He never noticed me. The second guy, Parker and I met in New Orleans and we hung out with him for a while to do images. There's not just one way to do it. Sometimes, developing a relationship works best and sometimes not. Pratice, and you decide!

Mardi Gras was killer for street shooting. Amazing actually! For these images, I used Parker's "James Brown Color" action. It's one of my favorites for the streets! Enjoy.

Photographing in the streets is one of the most challenging assignments for me because of the human misery element. It's the 180 degree opposite of the beautiful weddings I shoot. In the streets, I'm really careful as not to offend the dignity of the individual. Any big city is going to have plenty of people in the streets. I plan to continue to stretch my comfort zone through my art.

Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time and you shoot the right shot...
