I’ve been a bit slowed down recently in processing pictures, but I’m playing catch up this week and am stoked to share some recent shoots!!

We met up with April and Don to shoot their engagement pictures a few weekends back. It just so happened that we were sort of in their neck of the woods, Livermore because we had just finished photographing a wedding in Mill Valley the day before.

April planned a hike to the top of a hilltop near their home in Livermore, and we set out huffing and puffing to the top, and what a BEAUTIFUL view we ended up with!! Sooo worth it!!!

Check out April and Don’s slideshow by clicking here!

We’re looking forward to making another trip up to Livermore in August to photograph their wedding at the Garre Winery and Vineyard!

I finally picked up the film from the lab (shooting digital, it’s totally out of habit for me to purposefully take a trip by the lab these days….)

Our vacation to Napa and Big Sur was the perfect time to bust out some pictures of my BEAUTIFUL wife and myself. As you can see, I love it when she kisses me! She’s so hot! :-)

Ok ok, and yeah, there’s some engagement pictures in there from our engagement shoot in Livermore!

Oh, and if you are ever in the Napa Valley, definitely try the Center Cut steak at Rutherford Grill… it really is to die for!!! Simply AMAZING!!!

It’s always fun to watch the back-end of my website server seeing how people are finding my website when they do searches on sites like Google and Yahoo.

I’m always stoked when people search for terms like Wedding Photographer Santa Barbara, or Photography Website, and they end up finding me.

But, it’s SUPER random when I see people searching for things like hydrocodone, amoxicillin, buick, block island, pontiac and other random things, and they find my website….

So… if you’re one of those people who found my site by searching for some VERY RANDOM words or string of words, let me know!

And just for fun, hit up Google Maps and search for directions from New York to London. You’ll come up with some really funny results. (I know… I’m behind the times on this one… I think I first heard about this a few years back, but it’s still hilarious!!)

My buddy The [B]ecker recently posted a self portrait he did title “Bed Head.”

Then, he challenged other photographers (he’s a wedding photographer based out of Orange County, California) to take similar pictures of themselves. Then, he’s going to vote on the best “Bed Head Self Portraits” and post them on his blog.

This is what I came up with for myself:

I hope I didn’t scare too many of you!
