we shot the fall campaign for mini & maximus in malibu a few months back, we are thrilled with how it turned out. mini & maximus is the brainchild of sophie st-onge, an insanely talented artists and designer based in Orange County. Check out her work, it’s insane!
More pics to come, here’s some from the mini book.

4 …she won’t want to hold my hand when we cross the street. one day she’ll roll her eyes. one day I’ll walk into her room and it will be empty. one day she’ll be a bride. One day she’ll kiss someone else before bed. One day is coming. I just hope not too soon.

Steve and Hayley know how to pick their spots, they got ready at the Viceroy in Santa Monica. The Viceroy is such a classy spot, so much attention to detail and classic California chic. The wedding and reception were held on the grounds of Adamson House in Malibu. Adamson House was built in the 1930’s and manages to feel like someone’s backyard even though it’s a California historical landmark. All in all it was a beautiful day with two sweet and beautiful people.
Hayley looked a straight out of Mad Men, classic style.
Loved the bridesmaids dresses, the color felt very nostalgic and matched the retro vibe at Viceroy.
The Viceroy in Santa Monica is easily my favorite LA Hotel, I wish I could move in permanently. Such great design and attention to detail and the rooms are so light and airy.
First look, gets me every time. 
After getting ready the party moved to Adamson House in Malibu. Adamson House is the perfect venue for an early summer wedding. Loved all the original tile work and this original Balboa mural on the pool house wall by Ejnar Hansen.
All color shot on the Leica M4 or the Contax on fuji 400h or 800z. The square format shots are all on the Hasselblad 501 with Kodak BW400CN film. Loved how these turned out.
All reception BW shot on Ilford 3200 metered at 1600 on the Leica m4. Love the nostalgic feel of the grain, so classic. If there’s one thing we love at a wedding, it’s buffet style eating and one thing that makes the buffet even better is mexican food! It’s a perfect thank you to your guests! The tortillas were even handmade on the spot, scrumptious! 
We heart buffet style eating at weddings, and we heart mexican buffet even more. Fresh tortillas made on the Adamson House grounds made this a particularly tasty meal!

part two of the sarah and abe shoot, before we shot their engagement session we spent a few minutes photographing sarah’s family. Pictured below are her parents, her sister and her beautiful family.
Sarah and Abe are funny. And cute. And getting married in Hawaii next month. We can’t wait.
Pasadena once again came through. So did fuji film and Richard Photo lab. My lab kills it every time.
This is part one, tomorrow we’ll post images of Sarah’s beautiful family.
Eleven years ago we were living in Santa Barbara, I was finishing up school and we had Kira’s bday party at the beach. Fast forward to today, same idea but this time we went to Crystal Cove and instead of pinatas we had boys.
Polaroid Camera with fuji 100c. Loving the color, this film is great as long as you keep it out of the shadows where it tends to go green.
Fuji 3000b, always a favorite.
So proud of you Kira, so excited to see what the next fifteen years have in store.
Lindsay and Kevin (check out their engagement story on Glamour Mag’s site) were married this May on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. Lindsay found our work from a feature on Maria Cook’s amazing blog, the Ritzy Bee and we immediately clicked. Their wedding perfectly reflects their spirit; fun, unpretentious, full of thoughtful details and little touches. They were married in the park, had their reception at a gorgeous, light and airy restaurant. We heart day time weddings, this one was a classic.
From our Washington DC wedding last month, these were taken with my leica for Lindsay’s photo booth. Lindsay brought along a few blackboards, fantastic idea that personalizes the photos, and when coupled with the drop it modern backdrop and high spped film, gives them a great vintage feel!
Let’s start with my favorite!
Happy to have caught the best man and his girlfriend in a private embrace at a recent wedding. I took a series of pictures and was later informed that he dropped the L word on her (as in “I love you”) at the very moment I was snapping away. Not a bad way to end the night!
A new favorite spot with two new favorite people, Vivian and James. Sometimes LA spoils us, it offers so much visually and the best of it is what is not on the tourist map.
