Off to New Zealand

Be right back;)

better when we’re together

Jamie and i had four kids before the age of 30. Sounds crazy I know, and it hasn’t always been easy, but the best part about it for me is when I project into the future, and I see past the petty arguments they have into a future where they will always have a [...]

Horizon | Dusk or Dawn

We made a quick trip to Vegas this weekend. I pulled over about twenty miles outside of the city when I saw this amazing setting. When you think Nevada this is not the picture that come to mind, and what struck me as I stood outside the car, traffic screaming by at a [...]

New York City | Polaroid SX70

We drove into the city at 6am ready to explore and adventure! Apparently, city folk don’t get up that early. So we parked in Soho and took a nap in the rain. Tourists!

Los Angeles Under Water

I grabbed my Hasselblad and some 100b fuji instant and headed out as the sun set. I can’t remember the last time it rained this much in Los Angeles, it almost feels like we’re in another city. This was my favorite, it looks like the clouds are dancing over the city.

Lake Arrowhead | Dawson Family

A rare opportunity to shoot in the snow. I so want to shoot a wedding someplace like Sundance in the winter! One of the great advantages of shooting film is the latitude it has, digital had a tendency to blow out the whites to capture detail in black. I love the natural [...]

Farmers Market | Los Angeles

Believe it or not, TMZ does not have the final word on LA. If you look hard enough, you can even find a little charm. One of my favorite spots for lunch, the Farmers Market in Los Angeles. Shot on Leica m6.

The Dawson Kids | Polaroids

From our recent trip to Arrowhead, sunny and green one day, white as snow the next. These kids are just gorgeous, and so sweet.

Love fuji’s color instant film but the 3000b is insane.  I was shooting these in such low light at 4.0 and could still get crisp images.  I can’t wait to shoot [...]

santa barbara

We took a quick trip up to Santa Barbara yesterday, of course the polaroid came with me. With the craziness of holidays we felt we hadn’t actually seen the kids as they’d been holed up with their cousins, so in what is now officially a tradition we drove up the coast, rented a six [...]

Venues We Love, Chapter 2: The Smog Shoppe

The Smog Shoppe is my next stopover in a planned series of introductory features on Los Angeles and Southern California wedding venues that we love for their distinct personality and style and that may not be on the radar of our current and future brides. (Click HERE to see Part 1, Marvimon House) I [...]
