Brian & Judy - Wedding - Point Dume, Malibu

Photographed a beautiful wedding up in Malibu, CA this past Saturday with fellow photographer John Hildebrand. The weather was really off and on the entire day, but, I think we managed to get some really cool shots due to the conditions. Brian & Judy held their ceremony on the beach in Malibu and then cruised back to their house for a very unique reception. 100+ guests were served dinner via two food trucks, a.k.a., "Roach Coaches". All the food was provided by Komodo Food and it was absolutely delicious with a very wide variety of choices. To top the night off they had a ice-cream truck roll up, playing the jingle of course, and served everyone ice-cream & candy. Pretty sure everyone had themselves a great time and the pictures will for surely reflect that. As soon as John touches up the photo-booth images I will post a link.

Hamilton Wedding - Photo Booth

Extra special thanks to John Hildebrand for all his help at the wedding this past weekend. He was kind enough to set up his camera and get some fun photos of a majority of the wedding party for Michele and I. Michele ordered some Frida Kahlo eyebrows for everyone to use as a prop for the photos. Some used them as eyebrows and some used them as mustaches. The 2 over sized sombreros were a big hit as well. Must say the photos came out great and I appreciate John for all his help. To view more of the images taken by John please follow this link, http://johnhildebrandpreviews.com/photobooth/

Jimmy & Crystal's Wedding Book

Video of Jimmy & Crystal's wedding book that was hand made by West Coast Albums. John Hildebrand and myself photographed this wedding and John spent some serious time on putting together their wedding book. The finished results are very impressive and the quality of the entire book is worth every penny. John made this really cool video to give everyone an idea of the work we do and the great work that West Cost Albums produces.

Barbara & Manny - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Just got back from photographing a wedding down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Must say I had a really great time and got some even greater images. A big thanks to Barbara & Manny (bride & groom) for making this all possible. Another thanks to John, my long time friend and fellow photographer on this trip for all his hard work and planning that went into this. John and I have teamed up to photograph destination weddings under the name h2 Weddings. With both of our styles and backgrounds we bring a very unique style to the world of wedding photography. Looking forward to shooting many more weddings with John.
Out of respect to our client I will only be showing some of the detail shots from this trip.

Me & John scouting out locations.

Flying into Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Not a bad view.

The wedding party stayed at the Palmilla Resort
which was just awesome.
Everyday, throughout the day every employee greets you with this
hand gesture.

The wind was really not helping capture the invitation shot.
Persistence paid off in the end though...

At the Palmilla Resort you don't need to walk far to
capture a great image.

Palmilla Courtyard

Both of these guys were not going to budge an inch.
I gradually got within a few feet of each of them to get the shot.

Wedding party went out jet skiing and John and I covered
the action by land and sea.

Night out on the town.

Breakfast of Champions!

Photographed the rings outside with some pillows that were close by,
thought they added a nice splash of color to them.

Final details.

Gift from the wedding planner (Rob) to the groom.
All the groomsmen were suppose to sign it,
something tells me it was probably consumed.

There were a few drinks poured.

Trying to order from Domino's
and you don't speak Spanish is hard, but, doable.

Cocktail?

Warm up jam session for me.

Floral details.

Shot of the rings.

The Chef's at Palmilla were more than
helpful and we actually had a good time
in the kitchen. All the employees were excited to
take a group photo.

A smorgasbord of candy and fruits were on display after
the wedding which disappeared very quickly.

Some images from the venue.
Rob from, http://www.laurelsevents.com/, transformed a plain
room into a vibrant colorful atmosphere.
Must say he does wonders on all levels of the wedding.

Watching this place come alive took some serious time.
Hundreds if not thousands of candles had to be all lit, one at a time.
