Pasadena Engagement Session

Kristi and Damon are getting married in downtown Pasadena on New Years Eve. For their engagement session we roamed the streets of Pasadena and found some pretty sweet locations. Most couples I work with look a whole lot better when they're just hangin' out, walking around and lovin' each other, as opposed to sitting in a chair in an indoor photo studio. In my opinion, people just look better when they're being themselves in a natural environment. I shoot in both types of settings (studio and location), but most people prefer outdoor photos. For engagement sessions, I usually meet couples in the late afternoon, when the sun is just right. Can't wait for New Years!!!

How awesome is this? Downtown Khartoum, Sudan. I'm lovin' the robe!

Sudan

Usually when I'm in Sudan it's my mission to capture images that are amazingly horrible; starvation and war. I do this to raise awareness and ultimately bring help to the people. At the same time it's good to know that for many people in Sudan, life is not all about suffering, for many people life is pretty normal. I look forward to a day when peace is the norm everywhere in Sudan and civil wars are a thing of the past. I hope I get to see that day soon.

Love Buggy

Carri and I have been working feverishly putting albums together and editing videos. I the middle of all that, I got to spend 10 days in New Zealand working on a non-wedding related video project. It was a great time, and now it's back to the albums. Here's a layout from Lance and Nina's album, it's going to be a 9.5 x 13 GraphiStudio Flush Mount album. The above proof is a 2 page layout. Lance and Nina were married at the Grand Tradition in Fallbrook. The horse and buggy are part of what makes the Grand Tradition so grand : ) Click on the photo to supersize it.
