Good afternoon from post production central; Esquire Photography HQ in Orange County everyone!  I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who is totally MEGA excited to share Blythe & Moses’ Valencia wedding at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.

With all the exciting Engagement Shoots, Portraits and Weddings I’ve been capturing photographs of from Newport Beach down to San Diego and all the way up to Oakland – I knew that Blythe & Moses’ Valencia wedding was going to be more than what I had already pre-visioned and photographed in my mind.

And gorgeous their wedding was!  Blythe was beyond radiant in her wedding gown from David’s Bridal and Moses was totally sharp in his tuxedo from Men’s Wearhouse.

There wedding ceremony was epic with music from the movie; Inception played for the processional, a time capsule that was sealed and flower petals being gently showered on them during the recessional.

Since their wedding was during the day – I was able to take over practically an entire wing at the Hyatt Regency Valencia to photography my Signature Romantic Portraits with Blythe & Moses after I photographed the family & bridal party portraits.

I would like to the entire staff at the Hyatt Regency Valencia too.  They seriously rocked making sure Blythe & Moses’ Valencia wedding was absolutely perfect.  You guys totally rock!!!

I’ve put together a beautiful slide show of just a few of my favourite photographs I captured during Blythe & Moses’ Valencia Wedding at Hyatt Regency Valencia below.  But before you scroll down to check it out and you’re thinking… Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.  Perhaps you’re a fan of Nachos & Newcastles (like Duran Rex and I) and if so – we could always meet at Fred’s Mexican Cafe on Main & PCH in Huntington Beach.  They’re awesome there!

I’m available just about 24/7 via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, the form on my contact page, or the old fashioned phone as well at 888.ESQ.PHTO (888.377.7486) or 562.225.5915.

I hope you’re having a great start to your holidays and stay tuned for some amazing events that I’m sharing.  From San Diego to Newport Beach, Ventura and all the way up to Oakland – I’ll have some fantastic Weddings and events that I’ve had the honour of photographing.  And of course soon to come; LA Fashion Week, the VIP Party Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao had at The Supper Club in Los Angeles and the American Music Awards Pre-Party at Ben Kitay Studios with Kate Mesta – Cheers!

PS, If you haven’t already seen on Twitter & Facebook the two very HUGE announcements I shared recently – check this out.  One is the Military Promotion that launched last Saturday.  I had the honour of giving it to Ali & Justin (who I originally met at Blythe & Moses’ wedding) when I was up at Edward’s Air Force Base with both of their parents location scouting and going over details for their Lancaster Wedding Day I’m photographing next August.  The other HUGE announcement I shared is the Workshop I’m teaching with my good friend & fellow photographer Danny in Paris France.  So if you’re in Paris over Christmas break, totally let me know because the workshop is very affordable & only 100 Euros per person.

PSS, Check out this awesome quote I shared on Twitter keeping the “Butterfly Effect” moving forward – spreading positivity.  It’s a totally new one & I really think it is so very true.  “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” -Shakespeare AND “We are all made of stars” -Moby.

Good evening from Esquire Photography HQ in Orange County everyone!  I hope everyone had a great holiday-inspired West Coast Wednesday this week and I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who has a totally sassy, fun, romantic & playful wedding that I recently had the honour of photographing a dreamy San Diego wedding at the Fallbrook Wedgewood Golf Club.

With all the exciting Engagement Shoots, Portraits and Weddings I’ve been capturing photographs of from Newport Beach down to San Diego and all the way up to Oakland – Barbara & Steve’s San Diego Wedding that I had the honour of being the photographer for was beyond what anyone could expect.

You might remember Barbara & Steve from their totally fun San Diego Engagement Shoot I photographed with them earlier this year.  So when arrived at the Fallbrook Wedgewood Golf Club, I was so excited to see them both again along with all their friends & family for their wedding day.

And gorgeous their wedding was!  From the minute I showed up catching Barbara peeking out of her suite about to get into her wedding gown from David’s Bridal to the dancing the night away, the just a little bit of cake smashing & then Barbara & Steve letting me take them out for probably some of the most epic and MEGA Signature Night Romantic Portraits I love to do with my couples – their wedding day was one for the books.

I would like to say thank you to Michael, Aubree & Jessica at the Fallbrook Wedgewood Golf Club too – who totally made sure Barbara & Steve’s San Diego wedding was absolutely perfect.

AND!  An UBER SHOUT OUT to my great friend & absolutely MEGA awesome videographer: Michael Bauch with Wedding Video Pro who captured all the lovely footage of Barbara & Steve’s San Diego wedding day.  You are one of the best of the “best of the best of the best” wedding videographers I love working with & will continue to refer to all my brides and grooms for their weddings.  I love what you did with Barbara & Steve’s San Diego Wedding, Anna Marie & Lee’s Wedding at the Firestone Vineyard in Los Olivos, up in Monterey for my Guest Writer, Bride & one of my BFFs; Ashley & David’s Wedding.  And, of course, being a guest on my program; “How To Make The Most Out Of Your Wedding Day!”

I’ve put together a beautiful slide show of just a few of my favourite photographs I captured during Barbara & Steve’s San Diego Wedding at Fallbrook Wedgewood Golf Club below.  But before you scroll down to check it out and you’re thinking… Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.  Perhaps you’re a fan of Nachos & Newcastles (like Duran Rex and I) and if so – we could always meet at Fred’s Mexican Cafe on Main & PCH in Huntington Beach.  They’re awesome there!

Good afternoon from what looks like a war zone, aka; Esquire Photography HQ in Orange County everyone!  I’m one Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who is feeling a little zany with all the things getting wrapped up and packing & prepping my gear before I leave in a few days to teach my Workshop in Paris, France.

Speaking of my Workshop in Paris, France…  With all the exciting Engagement Shoots, Portraits and Weddings I’ve been capturing photographs of from Newport Beach down to San Diego and all the way up to Oakland – that’s one change of scenery and schedule that I’m excited to experience.

Speaking of experiences… The holidays are upon us & I saw a really disturbing photo that I shared on Facebook earlier today.  I put it just to the right & totally felt it needed to be a part of this year’s Christmas West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week.

The photograph pretty much sums it up & I want to invite you to look around at everything and then look inward toward your heart and let’s explore together what we’re truly and really celebrating this year.

At the end of our lives, we won’t be known for all the stuff, we’ll be known for our relationships & how we changed the world.

It’s totally possible!  Here’s a short list of 10 people who changed the world & made it a better place:

  1. Bill Gates
  2. Martin Luther King Jr.
  3. Nelson Mandela
  4. Albert Einstein
  5. Mahatma Gandhi
  6. Charles Darwin
  7. Mother Theresa
  8. William Shakespeare
  9. Lady Diana
  10. Steve Jobs

But before you scroll down to check out West Coast Wednesday Video Of The Week with Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” and you’re thinking… Hey – I’d really like to get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.  Perhaps you’re a fan of Nachos & Newcastles (like Duran Rex and I) and if so – we could always meet at Fred’s Mexican Cafe on Main & PCH in Huntington Beach.  They’re awesome there!

So without further ado, I give you the original music video Band Aid and the live performance in England in “Do They Know It’s Christmas.”  So please take a few minutes to sit back with your favourite holiday beverage during your day, enjoy the videos, count your blessings and think of at least one way you can help make someone else’s Christmas better.

THEN!  I ask you to please Tweet it, Facebook it, Blog about it, Comment on today’s posting, but by all means – help spread the word that you’ve helped contribute in one way or another to making a positive difference in this world. Heck, if you want – come join me at a toy drive on Friday in Orange County helping kids & families have a better Christmas.  I participated in one earlier this week and it was sooooo totally spiritually and emotionally rewarding.

Good morning from Orange County everyone!  I’m back in from running a few errands & this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer who is MEGA excited to share a totally awesome portrait shoot I recently had the honour of photographing in Huntington Beach.

Before I share this family’s story with you, I’ve got to share some more things that are happening in Newport Beach at Esquire Photography HQ.  Since I’m not only a caffeine addict, but also a Twitter & Facebook ’aholic, you probably saw that I had two very HUGE announcements recently.  One of which is the Military Promotion that launched.  I had the honour of giving it to Ali & Justin when I was up at Edward’s Air Force Base with both of their parents location scouting and going over details for their Lancaster Wedding Day I’m photographing for them next August.

The other HUGE announcement I shared was the Workshop I’m teaching with my good friend & fellow photographer Danny in Paris France.  Can I just say; “Wholly Nachos & Newcastles!”  So if you’re in Paris over Christmas break, totally let me know because the workshop is very affordable & only 100 Euros per person.

Ok, now I have to share this family’s story with you about their Long Beach annual holiday Portrait Shoot I recently photographed for them.

It’s an awesome story too!  I’ve been this family’s photographer for nearly 13 years and capturing photos of their daughter since she was two days old along with all the yearly parties and events.  It’s been an incredible experience for me throughout the years and with the holiday’s upon us – it was time for their annual holiday family portraits.

One of the greatest things for me about working with a family for so long, is I really get to know them over the years and, I’ve learned how to capture them and make it a fun time for all of us.  :-)

I’ve put together a fun slide show of just a few of my favourites from their annual holiday family photo shoot in Long Beach below.  But before you scroll down to check it out and you’re thinking… Hey – I’d really like to share some Nachos & Newcastles (My favourite snack!) and get to know this Newport Beach Wedding Photographer (Previously a Huntington Beach Wedding Photographer) that loves music & fashion, photography and art, feel free to contact me anytime.

I’m available just about 24/7 via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, the form on my contact page, or the old fashioned phone as well at 888.ESQ.PHTO (888.377.7486) or 562.225.5915.

I hope you’re having a great start to your holiday season & stay tuned for some amazing events that I’m sharing this week.  From San Diego to Newport Beach, Ventura and all the way up to Oakland – I’ll have some fantastic Weddings and events that I’ve had the honour of photographing.  And of course soon to come; LA Fashion Week, the VIP Party Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao had at The Supper Club in Los Angeles and the American Music Awards Pre-Party at Ben Kitay Studios with the Kate Mesta Crew – Cheers!

PS, Check out this awesome quote I shared on Twitter keeping the “Butterfly Effect” moving forward – spreading positivity.  It’s a totally new one & I really think it is so very true.  “Ability is what you’re capable of doing.  Motivation determines what you do.  Attitude determines how well you do it.” — Lou Holtz.

Sharing is yummy like the sweet potato pie I got the other night!
