Newport Beach, CA: Baher & Nourane had a traditional Coptic Orthodox ceremony at the Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church in Santa Ana. If you are wondering about the Coptic Orthadox Church, see this article on wikipedia. Despite the Ring bearer taking a nap halfway through – the ceremony was beautiful, poignant and a pleasure to photograph. Their lively reception was held at the Newport Beach Marriott.

Hilda and Kevin are getting married on July 17th in Placentia, and they asked Jacob to shoot their engagement photos on Laguna beach CA. When you think of a name like Hilda you do not picture a young energetic Spanish women, but that is what you get. Jacob’s Mom lives down the street from the beach, so he got to spend some time with her AND shoot an awesome engagement shoot all in one day – maybe some maternal inspiration was at play here? If this is true, we may have to drag all our couples down to Laguna Beach, because the results are worth it!

It was a cloudy day, but Annie and Tom shone brightly for Chris as he covered their wedding at The Summit House Restaurant in Fullerton. They are a great couple that really knew how to throw a party. Tom was also the only groom we’ve known to show up in a Lamborghini! The closest we’ve ever come to owning one was during childhood days when Micro Machines were all the rage, and the Lamborghini was the king pin of every boys collection – so jealousy was an emotion Chris had to suppress when shooting their very cool first look shoot.



























Now, this is a game we haven’t seen before. The Groom has to carry the Bride around the room with a bucket to collect “Good Luck” money….and they are making him run all over the place. If he gets tired and drops her, no more money!



A couple of weekends ago I met up with two great friends Al and Beth in the Venice beach canals – having tested out my new 50mm F1.4 lens the day before on Kate’s portrait shoot I felt pretty confident I could use this gorgeous lens to great effect for their engagement session. Al and Beth got engaged amid the Venice beach canals last Halloween at the stroke of when the clocks changed, so no one knows for sure at what time the question was popped.



Fresh from celebrating St Patricks day, Al shows us his own unique way of expressing his love for the Irish Clover!







A Venice beach photography session would not be complete without a shot of a grungy camper van – the multiple presence of which makes Venice the special place it is.
