Julia and Chris’ shoot the day after their wedding wraps up our trip to California! It was absolutely wonderful to try out new locations on the coast – the trees, the beach, and every setting we encountered was just beautiful.

Julia and Chris :: Thanks so much for bringing us out to California for your wedding! It was a pleasure to meet the two of you, your family, and your friends! This session in particular was a LOT of fun… even getting kicked out of the park! Keep in touch!

One of my favorites!



How fantastic are these trees?!




This one makes me laugh!




I L-O-V-E shooting on the beach!!!












We were hoping to do a bit more with the water, but as you can see by Chris’ expression, it was cold!!!


The little waves caught Julia’s dress just perfectly for this shot!

Our second model shoot in San Fransisco was with a whole group at the stunning Palace of Fine Arts! Toby and I had originally planned to shoot with Ying and we were absolutely thrilled that she brought, Daniel, Kate, and Ignacio! Ying and Daniel with both fantastic models!!! They were comfortable with each other in front of the camera and we spent a lot of time laughing, which is always fun!

Working with Kate Cheung was fantastic – she’s a designer out in San Fransisco with a LOT of great stuff! I wish we’d had more time – her dresses deserve the attention!!!

And I cannot say enough good things about Ignacio Maciel! He truly was an artist!!! Ying’s makeup was absolutely flawless and he was a pleasure to work with! We even had some fun pinning Ying’s “veil”!

This group was amazing and Toby and I feel so lucky to have worked with you!

Starting off with one of my favorites!






Ying’s smile is fabulous, but I think Daniel steals this one! Holy GQ, Batman!

Ying, you’re absolutely stunning!

This dress is so “Belle”! LOVE it, Kate!


Of course, we had to do something princess-inspired! Ignacio set this one up – perfect!

Wow. Just wow.





This one is super steamy… Nice job, guys!



We had to get a group shot when we were done shooting!
