Expo Bridal Show at the Universal City Hilton

Hello all, we had a booth set up at the Expo Bridal show at the Universal City Hilton this weekend. This is our second time attending and we are hoping it will be as successful as it was for us last year. Kate and I had a wonderful time, met many excited bride and grooms, and a few parents who were investigating possible vendors for their children weddings. Once set of parents was a mother for the bride and father for the groom, both are stationed in Iraq right now. The parents were an absolute delight to talk to.

Vicki D's Work in Newbury Park, CA

This the third house that I got to photograph for Vicki, she pretty much put everything where you see it. The whole house is amazing but I'm only going to put up 4 of them, we did 11 I think. To see the rest of this amazing house and some more of Vicki's work check out her website at definainteriordesigns.com , the photographs should be up soon. Enjoy, and if you have a house that needs to look like a million bucks, or rather to show inflation, a billion bucks, give her a call or send her an email and get the ball rolling on the house interior of you dreams.

Met with Connie T. this week for a shoot in Calabasas. She does amazing Interior Design and Home Staging, and her company is Platinum Home Staging, Inc., check it out and see some really amazing stuff. A friend of mine on Twitter and in real life, recomended me to her for some photography. We had a great time, and didnt let the rain deter us a bit.

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.

Vicki D's work in Thousand Oaks

Yesterday Vicki of Defina Interior Designs and I went to Thousand Oaks and photographed some of the work she has done recently. We both had a lot of fun trying to get it to look just right. She does amazing work, colors on the walls and coordinating the rest of the objects in the room so it all comes together. She styles these rooms quite nicely. One of the cool things she does is go into homes that people are trying to sell and styles them up so that they are more appealing to potential buyers. Send her an email if you could use her services, vicki@definainteriordesigns.com. We will be doing more in the near future, I for one am looking forward to it.

Melinda and Tommy in Oxnard

What a beautiful day it was. Southern California has some of the best weather in the world and it came out in spades for us on Melinda and Tom's wedding day. The ceremony was held in a small park in the Oxnard/Channel Islands area, by the Marina. Tons of guests, family and well wishers came to see them join together under a nearly clear blue sky, they couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. After the ceremony we rushed down to the beach which was only about 5 blocks away, just as the sun was setting. They both love the ocean so it was a perfect setting to capture these moments between the two of them. It was easy to see that Tom is a surfer, we walked out onto the sand, and he just stood there for a few seconds watching the waves break, probably wishing he could run out and catch a few before the reception. Good Luck to both of you!

Trace and Ryan's Wedding at Spanish Hills

This was a beautiful wedding, the bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, and everyone had a wonderful time. Spanish Hills is a wonderful place to photograph. They have a huge pool, lots of grass, huge trees, and a really cool looking building. Because its up on a hill, Spanish Hills, the sun sets a little later than it does in the surrounding area. This gave us a few minutes more to photograph in the setting sun. It is always fun to photograph a bride and groom and they were no exception. We all had such a wonderful time, to bad I only get to do it once.
