Orange County : Matthew Saville Workflowshop

Tustin, California
Venue : The Winery Restaurant
I had a great time at Matthew Saville's Workflowshop. We met at the Winery Restaurant in the District in Tustin. The workshop was fun and informative. It was great to meet fellow photographers. After the workshop, we had a good time taking photos of model Rachel Amara. The light in the restaurant was lovely in the late afternoon and very flattering. Paul Edward from Chris Becker's [b] school was on hand to videotape the event.
Kevin Hall was a wonderful host at the restaurant. The Winery is an award winning Orange County restaurant. A few of us stayed for dinner. The food was delicious. I had the organic roasted chicken and can vouch for how tender, juicy and tasty it is. I recommend it highly.

Rachel Amara looked fabulous in the golden hour light at The Winery Restaurant.



Lake Arrowhead Wedding : Paris & Jeff
Wednesday, 2 Sep 2009 | Wedding
Lake Arrowhead, California
Wedding and Reception : Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa
Paris and Jeff opted to have their wedding at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. It's a beautifully appointed resort overlooking scenic Lake Arrowhead in the mountains on the way to Big Bear. It was a sunny, clear mountain day. The air was clean and fresh. It was enjoyable shooting with Lucy of Lucia Photography.

When I saw Paris in her wedding gown, all I could think was she was a living princess. She looked so gorgeous, the way brides look on their special day. Paris was so happy and beaming.


Jeff and his groomsmen were so much fun to photograph. They clearly know how to have a great time. I thought their personalized drinking flasks looked so cool. Oh, and the ringbearer was the cutest kid ever. He absolutely loved posing for the camera.
