Vicki D's work in Malibu

Some more examples of Vicki's work. I met Vicki at a home with one of the most magnificent views from a home I have ever seen. You could see the Channel Islands, Santa Barbara Island, Catalina Island, and wide open ocean. It was breathtaking. Vicki did a wonderful job on an already beautiful home, she incorporated colors and style in the bedroom and bathroom that made for a wonderful experience just being in the rooms. vicki@definainteriordesigns.com is the email you need to contact this wonderful designer. We had a blast styling and photographing, and it didn't hurt that the owners of the home were incredibly nice. I am really enjoying photographing interiors, it allows for a creative side of me that I haven't been able to explore before.

Susan and John's Engagment session in Malibu and Ventura

Engagement or pre wedding photo sessions are so much fun, it gives me an opportunity to work with the bride and groom to build a relationship and find out what they really like about photography. This also gives them a sense of who I am and what they can expect from me on their wedding day. We had an awesome day, we started off in a beautiful area of Oxnard, then went to downtown Ventura to photograph on the streets, then down to El Matador beach in Malibu. Downtown was fun, everyone that passed us was excited and interested to see what was going on, and the future bride and groom loved the attention. We got to El Matador beach about an hour or so before the sun went down, the sky was beautiful, the sea was blue, and the rocks on the beach just glowed such wonderful colors under the setting sun. Its funny, I am from Florida so I am used to the ocean being to the east, the sun always rises out over the ocean, here in California so many of the beaches face south, so the sun sets over land, very disconcerting for me, but makes for amazing lighting. Susan and John had a wonderful time, I can't wait for the wedding.

Pre wedding Photography with Karyn and John

Karyn and John like adventure and the outdoors, and for their shoot we had an adventure. One minute we were on the beach in Malibu and the next we were standing on the top of a hill in the mountains. We started our shoot at 7:00am and ended when the sun went down that evening, and we had a blast. The two of them are getting married in Hawaii but they wanted to have photographs done that reflected their interests and showed off the area of the country they now call home. If anyone is looking for beautiful vistas or amazing beaches, the Malibu area is the place to go, just don't try to do all of it in one day, it will wear you out. :) It was totally worth it.
