Eric & Rebecca | Wedding (Santa Monica, CA)

I flew out to California to help Daniel Neal with a wedding a while back, and I’m just now getting the chance to blog about it. Eric and Rebecca were the lucky recipients of extreme wedding photo coverage that weekend. Both of them went out of their way to show they cared about their photography and stayed relaxed and camera-cooperative the entire day. Wedding photographers L O V E when their clients get excited about what they’ve been hired to do (it makes us feel like awesome mercenaries…like Boba Fett). You could really tell that they were looking forward to their photos from their big day. Their wedding was the perfect mix of DIY accents with classic wedding decor at The Victorian venue in sunny Santa Monica, CA. I had a lot of fun being a part of knot tying and felt like there were a million photos to be taken at all times – just how a wedding photographer wants to feel.

Reese Reed | Portraits (San Luis Obispo, CA)

This is my nephew. He’s basically six months old now, but I started this out with some photos of him less than 72 hours old.

Until I went back to absurdly warm California earlier this month I hadn’t seen Reese since he was born in a hospital way back in July. It’s crazy to me how the terrifying little flaps of skin and bone that newborns are become adorable, chubby babies in less than a matter of months. It’s like a Transformer going beast mode into cuteness.

He’s basically got the life; all he does is eat, poop, sleep, and smile. What a sweet gig. I like being an uncle. It let’s me have fun without any diaper changes or lame stuff on the side. Win.

So here’s some of him a few days old:

And then BAM! some odd 4320-ish hours later:

Mikie & Nicole | Wedding (San Andreas, CA)

I recently had the pleasure of assisting my good friend Daniel Neal in CA with a wedding before the winter started. Here are some of the images I made away with. Mikie and Nicole were very mellow and a breeze to work with. They were very in tune with each other and we didn’t have to tell them much of anything as soon as we got them together. As far as what to do in front of a camera – they knew just how to be with each other. Even though I was assisting I may or may not have ended the night with a shot of jaeger on my knee singing a song I didn’t know the lyrics to with several people I didn’t know. I don’t know, just maybe. Bridesmaids are persuasive.
