I first photographed Allie and her boyfriend a few years ago.  This time Allie and her sister Jenn contacted me for a fun shoot for their dad’s birthday present.  We met at the Conservatory of Flowers and went inside the tunnel adjacent to it. There were some guys playing Jazz at the end of the tunnel, so naturally I sat them in front of the musicians. We stayed there for a few songs, allowing them to enjoy the music while I took some shots, featuring the musicians. I left them a card along with a tip, hoping they’ll contact me for their closeups.  I really enjoy incorporating the natural environment, especially if its interesting people.

This year’s trip to Coachella was both fun and productive. Golden Voice really knows how to put on an organized, fun and safe festival. My favorite acts were Girl Talk, MIA, Ghostland Observatory, Crystal Method with LMFAO and last half of Paul McCartney. Anthem Magazine and Urb Magazine put on some great parties which kept our crew cool in the desert heat. After a trip back to the condo and a bit of BBQ most days we’d be at the festival by sundown, which is an improvement form last year, when we had unused tickets for Saturday’s performances. My photos got a good deal of traction, including URB Magazine (Article 1, Article 2), Metrowize, Fusicology and possibly some print as well.

Although its best to see and feel the album, I think some photos will be nice to show what one looks like. This album is from Stephan’s and Lindsay’s wedding from May, 08. This album is leather bound, heavy and beautiful. It is 22 spreads, 44 pages with no cut down the middle. It comes wrapped in recycled pineapple leaves, just gorgeous…

Miguel and Audrey were a great couple to work with. With Miguel, being a serious model it was easy to get the couple relaxed for the camera. The photos reflect my general shooting style of capturing the feelings that are already there. Even though it was raining that day, we decided to go through with the shoot anyway. We were all glad we did, since the images would not be as unique without the rain. I include engagement sessions in all my weddings in order to get acquainted with the couple. Come wedding day we are all relaxed and have a great connection, which is vital for capturing breath taking images.
