Hip couple on their wedding day

  A couple of Canadians in the desert.  Having themselves a minimal Palm Springs wedding at the ACE Hotel.   Calm.  Endearing.  Cool.  Warm.  Welcoming.   All being felt by those in attendance.

Sometimes when I look back through these photos, it feels like my mind is playing tricks on me.  I was here… this actually happened… what the heck how did I ever get so lucky?!  Dragonline Studios for a wedding is seriously one amazing place and one I will be fighting to photograph again. We kicked […]

Dragonline Studios Wedding Photography :: Betsy + Willem

A while back, Carley and Nicholas serendipitously stumbled upon a blog post of mine, showcasing a few shots posted from my younger brother’s wedding.  The groomsmen were each given one Ilford 400 B&W single-use camera to use throughout the day… I thought some of the shots were neat and put them up HERE.  They found […]

A single lock of hair- from either one of these two would have more class, more… how do you say… je ne sais quoi… contained inside, than three of me combined.  Take a dive with me, into this most amazing al fresco wedding in Los Angeles at the iconic Paramour Mansion. Champagne waterfalls and stuffed […]

This was an unreal day… this day was something so much more magnificent than anything I could have anticipated… this day was simply… beautiful. When Jacquie and Basil, two amazingly in-tune humans, with such style and grace, more kindness and wide grins than you can handle, decided to simply… get away in the name of […]

Race and Religious Wedding Photography New Orleans

New Orleans is a place, that for some reason I never really had visited.  And where every single person I met was just plain down to party. With half of Marybeth and Nathan’s wedding attendees coming from the area, you better believe that I was surrounded by the kindest, rowdiest, funniest group of individual personalities […]

Race & Religious Wedding Photos :: MaryBeth + Nathan in NOLA

When other photographers write you, asking you to shoot their wedding, its easy to get a little nervous worrying that you’ll live up to their standards. When said photographers then ask you to travel 16 hours and join them in Southern Spain for a once in a lifetime experience, its easy to blackout on your […]

Aguas de Villaharta Wedding in Cordoba, Spain :: Natalia + John

  So something happened a few weeks ago… something so unreal that when I found out I literally screamed like an 11-year-old battling puberty; an 11-year-old who happened to be holding a scolding hot cup of coffee.  Said coffee found it’s way straight to my lap after my body suddenly convulsed upon reading that I […]

  Talk about a wild wedding day where the entire family… scratch that, the entire neighborhood comes together for one heck of an event! I should back up to begin with the location.  One in which I never knew existed. James’ family owns a house 3000ft above the Palm Springs/Coachella valley, within a (secret) neighborhood […]
