Capturing some beauty in nature…

I originally fell in love with photography when I started shooting outdoor landscape photography in college. Getting to be in the natural landscape and experience God’s creation is a real joy to me. It calms my soul and makes me realize how amazing our creator really is. My photos don’t do it justice. Its my feeble attempt to capture a few small specks of the beauty.

My first trip to Yosemite, was probably when I decided that photography was something that I wanted to pursue. Up until then I had been investigating and researching it. But after getting to spend a week in the valley and photograph so many amazing scenic shots I was hooked. The photos below aren't in Yosemite, but were taken near the Santa Rosa Plateau.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. - II Cor 5:17;IMG_2589-2

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. - Rom 1:20;IMG_2595-2

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. - Gen 1:1;

God Bless you and please plan some time to go outside for a hike this month, you wont regret it.

Amazing Designer in Orange County

I've come across some serious raw talent. John Barlow is an amazing designer and is taking on projects related to architecture, furniture, and business branding. I've personally worked with John and can assure you that he is trustworthy and does a top-notch job at every project he works on. He may not be the cheapest guy on the block, but for a fair price he will blow you away with the highest quality product that is possible.

I highly recommend John Barlow Designs. If you need an architectural designer in Orange County, please give John a call.

Beautiful Wedding Photography

Hector and Lena have been an item since High School. I can remember them holding hands and hanging out together at lunch time on the quad! I would have bet money that they would get married someday, but never in a million years would I have guessed that I would get to photograph their wedding.

I already had a good feel for Hector and Lena’s style so I was excited to capture their wedding from the first second they called and asked if I was available on their wedding day. Kevin and I arrived early and after scoping out the joint, decided to borrow the white dress hanging in the bridal suit for a detail shot. 15 minutes later I had some guy in a cheap blue suit screaming at me from a hundred yards away “YOUR IN BIG TROUBLE, I DIDN’T SAY YOU COULD DO THAT.” After he ran over, I explained that I didn’t realize that he was also getting married at The Old Richland School House and on the exact same day as my good friend Lena!!! Winking smile But seriously, even after explaining that I was hired to do this, the security guard took a good 2-3 minutes for him to cool his jets. He was passionate about his job, so you gotta give him props!

Back to the wedding… The entire day was perfect and the wedding was a blast. Having a second shooter (Kevin) was great and I am impressed with the candid shots he delivered. Some of my favorite images from the day are below.

But first, if you are planning a wedding, I have some noteworthy tips I learned from this wedding…

#1 Serena Tarantino does a great job at makeup!!!   You can email her at serena_tarantino@yahoo.com

#2 The Old Richland School House is a beautiful place to get married, great light and fun atmosphere.

#3 Get permission from a rent-a-cop before photographing the dress you were hired to photograph.
