Wedding & Engagement Ring Photos

As a Los Angeles wedding photographer I love "Romancing the Stone,"  i.e., photographing my clients engagement and wedding rings.  The photo can be as simple as placing them on an interesting surface and adding a bit of light to make them pop... or taking them and putting them on or against a prop of some kind.  Beyond the fact that rings are a symbol of commitment... they are just plain gorgeous when captured in the right light and environment.  Here's some of my recent ring photos...

Sound Mixing // Warner Bros. Audio Underground

Broken Glass, the film I worked on as credited still photographer (aka, set photographer) at the beginning of the summer, is in its final stages of post production.  I had the opportunity to sit in on the final sound mixing at Audio Underground, a post production service facility located on the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank, CA.  The session was led by Broken Glass director, Daniel R. Chavez, with a huge assist by Antonio Dominick, the film's sound mixer.  It was amazing to see the level of attention and detail that goes into this portion of post production.  From the volume level of the sound of rain outside, to the timing of the music scoring - nothing is random or left to chance.

Enjoy these photos.  My earlier production stills from Broken Glass can be seen here -

365 Photo Series - Shell Study #3

Another entry for my 365 photo series.  Photos, for me, are about light, color and composition. And capturing a moment in time. Emotion often plays a role. Sometimes it's for the viewer, other times it's just for me.

November 2, 2012, 2012 - A seashell - the third in a series of object and form studies.  Nature creates the most amazing designs.

365 Photo Series - Pumpkins

Another entry for my 365 photo series.  Photos, for me, are about light, color and composition. And capturing a moment in time. Emotion often plays a role. Sometimes it's for the viewer, other times it's just for me.

October 28, 2012 - Freshly carved pumpkins for Halloween 2012.  Not quite sure what the spooky apparition if the back is...

Swiss Park Banquet Center // Whittier Wedding Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing Rozelle and Anthony's wedding.  The ceremony was held at the beautiful Our Lady of Miraculous Medal church in Montebello, with reception following at the Swiss Park Banquet Center in nearby Whittier.  Such an amazing day... blue skies and temperatures in the upper 80s.  Only in Southern California!  I again had the pleasure of working with my good friend Sean King of Sean King Video and Photography.

Congrats to the newlyweds!!

Dana Point Wedding // Russ and Yolanda

Had a great time photographing Russ and Yolanda's wedding in beautiful Dana Point, which is located in Southern Orange County.  I had the pleasure of shooting with my friend Sean King of Sean King  Videography, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  We started off at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort, where the bride and groom got ready.  From there it was a short drive to the Chart House Restaurant, also in Dana Point, for the ceremony and reception.  The location of the Chart House is stunning, perched atop a bluff overlooking Dana Point Harbor.   It was an amazing day.  Enjoy the view!
