Darren and Nidah

Had the opportunity to shoot their wedding and a brief moment to post up a couple of the pictures from it. Here's a couple quickly edited photos, I'll get a few full edits up soon!

Midnight already?/Tribute to a Canon A640

So it's approximately 12:15am. What better to do than update this? I was looking back through some of my old pictures and found a few that caught my eye. In the last year or so I haven't shot much else besides people. Prior to that, I NEVER photographed beings of the human sort. Call it what you will, but I'm pretty sure the term "fear" is the first appropriate description that pops into my mind. Also, I didn't have a legitimate camera. Let's face it, nobody wanted to get dressed/made up and show up to see me packing pocket-sized fury. Who needs them anyway, right? So I used to grab my little Canon A640 and take a meander down to the beach to Nathanland. Here's a few random experiences from that camera.

An afternoon in Temecula

Temecula is home to the Crook family. I've known Anna for almost 9 years and her husband Mac, for something like 7. Mac's a mechanic and Anna's a teacher. They're an amazing couple; they invite me to their family events, keep a drawer full of candy for me, and let me sleep on their Lovesack whenever I want. Mac's gone out of his way for me over and over it's a wonder he even lets me come out there anymore. So once a week for the last 6 years I've tried to make it out to Temecula for the Chipotle burritos and to play cars. Despite the terrible light, we shot a few family photos that afternoon. Here's a couple!

Coby and Phil

Nothing hits the spot better after a Chipotle margarita than a dark alley and two men. Wait, not like that. These boys are super fun and always up for anything that consists of whiskey and skinny ties.

A Few Randoms from the last few weeks.

I love my life for many reasons.
This is my nephew Wyatt. He told my sister that she was his best friend. Apparently I've got some business to take care of. So in order to represent for all the Uncles out there, I will descent descend upon Dollar Tree to buy back my rightful place as "best friend". Take that, Jess. This is, afterall, war.

The second is a fine example of the arsenal you can purchase at Dollar Tree. 100 cents seems to be my spending limit these days.

Garcia/Firth Engagement

Despite my god-like status incredible lack of inspiration, at least it’s reassuring to know that when push comes to shove, the pictures will still appear. Down to Balboa Park we went, in order to utilize the city's architecture free photo backdrops. Chris and Tiff will be getting Married in August and I’m excited for the both of them.
