I was going through a shoot from a couple of weeks ago tonight and thought I'd put a few images up. I had such a great time with Chu and Antonio. They're such a great couple and this is actually not the first time I've taken Chu's photo. I shot her sister's wedding a couple of years ago and she was a bridesmaid.
One of my favorite images ever came out of their "pre-wedding" "day after" session:
Enough about them though, back to Chu and Antonio... :)
Here are a few images from my time with them.
I love these ones on their beach cruisers!

love how you got so many different pictures out of this simple location.
I met these guys out in Laguna Beach and had a blast. They were so easy to shoot. Kelsey got us into the Irvine Cove private beach and it was so great to get to shoot in Laguna and not have to battle the throngs of people.
Another reason I'm excited today is BlogStomp has FINALLY released their new product! Its seriously the best thing to happen to blogging since... I don't know... the internet? I've been able to be a beta tester for them and I can't tell you how much time it has saved me over the past few months. For those that don't know its an action set that makes it AMAZINGLY fast and easy to resize, sharpen, brand (add your logo) and save your images for web. It is seriously just one or two clicks from a full size image to the finished, saved, blog ready image.
Go get you some!

Wow Blog stomp is rad!!! The photo's are rad to! Haha Great stuff man!
I met Lauren and Kyle a couple of weeks ago to shoot their engagement images and had the best time hanging with them for a couple of hours. Lauren is an awesome wedding coordinator so I can't wait for their wedding next month at the beautiful Richard Nixon Library. Should be amazing!
Here are a few from their session... a few film and a few digital. Can you tell which is which?

Awesome shots! If I had to guess, I'd say the two in the middle where he's in brown are the film frames. Crazy consistency though!

amy boring said:
I am going with, 1, 4 and 5 are film. Honestly it's hard to tell though. Great images.
[May 14, 2009]
Edmund Prieto said:
Great shots man, ok Im gonna say the first three are film and I'm pushing it but I'm gonna say the last one is film.
[May 14, 2009]
Byron Carlson said:
Awesome! My guess is also, the first 3 are film due to the apparent dynamic attitude between the extreme tones. Nice work as always.
