ENGAGEMENT :: UNION STATION, LOS ANGELES
February 2nd, 2010
Last weekend we drove up to downtown LA to meet with some old friends for an engagement session at Union Station. After the sun went down, we headed over to their favorite watering hole, the Frolic Room on Hollywood Blvd., to grab a few shots. These two are getting hitched in March on the Queen Mary, and we are very excited for their wedding. Good seeing you guys!

















PORTRAITS :: HERMOSA BEACH, CA
January 27th, 2010
Last weekend we met up with some old friends who I hadn't seen in way too long. In fact, it has been so long that I hadn't even met their son until the day of this shoot! The little guy is nearly 2, and we all know how hard it is to photograph 2 year olds, right!? They won't sit still for a single second so we really had to be on our toes! Regardless of him running every which way EXCEPT towards the camera, we managed to grab some shots of him playing at the local park. Don't ask how I do it.... ;)















- Melissa Wenger: This pics are amazing! I love the ones with Nick and the leaf! 1.28.10 - 8:09pm.
- Lori: They turned out so cute!!!! 1.28.10 - 2:27pm.
- Melissa Ritacco: Thanks so much! I LOVE the pictures!!! 1.28.10 - 1:25pm.
DAY AFTER PORTRAITS :: PALOS VERDES, CA
January 21st, 2010
You might remember this couple from their beautiful La Venta wedding held back in November. Well they contacted me about doing a day after session to get more shots of them all decked out in their wedding attire, and of course I agreed! I absolutely love doing day after sessions as they rid us of the time constraints we have on the wedding day and we can get some great, relaxed style portraits. Here are a few favorites from the session!














- Northern Virginia Wedding Photographer: Well done my man! 1.22.10 - 5:17am.
- Erica: awwww... thanks Dave!!! We love them!! We had lots of fun again with you guys ;-) It was an excuse to wear my wedding dress again ;-) 1.21.10 - 9:19pm.
