I love checking my web stats. Every morning I get up, drink my coffee and sit down in front of the computer. It’s so addicting. I love checking out what sites are linking to mine and how brides are finding me. Sometimes I get hundreds of hits from the knot and am just so curious to see what brides are talking about. This morning I found this link back to “bestwedphotographers.com”. They liked Jennifer and Brian’s pictures so much they featured my blog on their page. I thought that was pretty cool! Thanks! It’s really nice being featured.

I met up with Jennifer and David last Sunday for a really fun engagement session. Jennifer wanted some beach pictures so we headed on down to the Santa Monica Pier. We ended up finding a really cool painted divider with one of Jennifer’s favorite artists. I thought that was a pretty cool find. My favorite spot of the Santa Monica pier is always underneath. I just love playing in the pilings. Such cool architecture shots! We ended the session up on the grass for some lovely sunset backlighting. I can’t wait for their wedding next month at Firestone.

Jennifer and Brian were married on Saturday at Lost Canyons Golf Club. It’s this really cute golf course nestled back in the Canyons in SImi Valley. I was so happy to find this venue. The club house is just adorable and it has these amazing views of the mountains in Simi Valley. The best thing was the cool breeze blowing through the canyon! Cause it sure does get hot in the Valley! Jennifer looked so beautiful! The reception was so amazing outside on the patio with the white lights strung up. So romantic :)

Getting ready to jam in the photobooth ;)

Alex and Mike put on a excellent show…. the broke out into a dance that wowed all their guests!

Just goofing at at the Camarillo Ranch house. Who says the hired help can’t have a litte fun too? This is just one of the little reasons I love my job :) Alex and Mike’s wedding was a grand affair. Tons more pictures to blog later. It really was amazing!

Araxi and I still found some time to sneak away and play in the photobooth. These things are so much fun. Next time we’ll have to find some time to play dress up with all the funky hats and wigs.

Here’s a silly one of me and Zhipi. She did an awesome job coordinating this wedding!

Christmas came early! I got my new Canon 85mm 1.2 L lens. Man this baby is sweet!!! Here is a picture of my cat Mattie. She’s the perfect model. This is straight out of camera.

My web hosting company installed a new spam software that was a little too overactive. As of last night I wasn’t getting my emails. It’s supposed to be fixed now so hopefully the emails will start coming through. If you need to reach me and your emails are being rejected please call me at 805.797.2868.

Thank you :)
