Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Last month, a fellow photo buddy, Katy Regnier and I helped volunteer to take pics of the Los Angeles Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The Avon walk was able to raise over $4 million dollar towards funding breast cancer care and research. Dedicated participants walked 40 miles in a single weekend. It is so inspiring and touching to so many caring people who have banded together, many of those who are also survivors themselves, or have payed tribute by walking in memory of a loved one.

Tim + Jennie's Engagement Session.

Has is been over a month since I last blogged? Yikes! I've been really busy, but I am back and here is one of many, many more postings to come. I had the pleasure of photographing Tim and Jennie's engagement session in Old Town Orange awhiles back. Tim is actually a videographer, and frequently covers weddings, so it must have been felt a little bit strange for him to be on the opposite side of the camera for a change. They are total sweethearts and I look forward to shooting their wedding later this month.

Wedding in Torrance.

I photographed my friends Lessa + Christian's wedding this weekend! They shared their ceremony at Saint Catherine Laboure Church in Torrance with their closest family and friends, followed by a reception at the Torrance Women's Club. Lessa looked amazing in her simple yet elegant white lace dress with a long purple sash and Christian was looking pretty debonaire too in a black suit with matching colors. Lessa worked real hard to plan this wedding and it turned out just beautifully. She is a Hawaiian girl, so there were added touches of Hawaiian tradition in their wedding. I especially loved the leis and unique choice of flowers. Congratulations you guys, you are officially Mr. and Mrs. Lozada! Yay! A special thanks to Katy Regnier for second shooting with me. Here are a quick few of my favs...

Santa Barbara Wedding.

Here is another wedding from awhiles back where I was fortunate to shoot again with uber talented Amelia Lyon. The handsome couple Mike and Linda were married at the Montecito estate in picturesque Santa Barbara. Everything about this wedding was just gorgeous!

Long Beach Wedding.

This wedding took place at the Recreation Park Golf Course in Long Beach. Another fab day was spent shooting with Trista. The couple, Randy and Linda were just about the cutest, nicest couple you could ever meet. It was truly a joy to be able to help capture their special day. Here are the photos...
