Vivian and James

JAC Photography — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:03:37 +0000

You might remember Vivian and James’ engagement shoot out at one of our favorite new locations. Well the wedding picked right up where the e-session left off, this time at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. Such a wonderful venue to photograph and a perfect setting for a relaxed and unforgettable wedding. Vivian looked amazing and James was the picture of cool, loved every detail and every color choice down to James tie and socks. And Vivian’s dress, perfection!
On to the pictures. Geeky details, all black and whites shot on either kodak cn400bw or ilford 3200 on leica m4, and all color taken on fuji 400h. There is a reason I shoot film and this is it.

hawaii

jamie and i got to sneak away for a few days of rest and relaxation in hawaii. four days, one moped accident and one 15 hour flight ordeal later we are home. funny thing, all i remember is the laughing. which is exactly why i love this girl so much.
aforementioned moped accident happened day one, which killed any beach time for jamie, but she still put her feet in the water and made the most of it.
all in all, an adventure we will never forget, and one that makes us long for sweet days of nothing at home, a treasure far to rare these days for us.
all below taken on expired polaiod film stock, damn i love that film.

whoever the heck prints your photos is a GOD. seriously. these prints are stunning.”

Sunny Days and Lemonade

JAC Photography — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 06:51:47 +0000

hoping to provide a healthy and nostalgic alternative to video games and you tube, I urged the kids to set up a lemonade stand in the front yard last week. as incentive I told them I’d match what they made on the first day. we live a few blocks from high school and i figured the students passing by on their way home from summer school would provide some good business.
caleb and cam quickly learned that elsie’s best use was attracting customers so they stood by and watched the customers roll in while elsie danced in the street. with a few hefty tips they made $30, and with my matching funds they cleared $60 in all.
I thought this would really inspire them to make this a regular thing. But instead they went and bought a video game and a slip and slide and want nothing more to do with selling lemonade. I can’t win.

Matthew and Erica

Matthew and Erica are doctors in residency. Every day they see things that would make me faint and hide in a supply closet. What they do helps me put what I do in perspective. Plus, they are super fun to hang out with! These were taken on a cloudy summer day in Belmont Shores area of Long Beach. Walking the streets felt like stepping back in time a bit.
