Huntington Beach, California

I had an amazing time documenting Christine and Roy's wedding that started at her parents' house in Aliso Viejo and ended at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. We shot their engagement session a long time ago so it was great to finally see them again. My favorite part of the day was the private moments between Christine and her father. This is usually something that only the photographer sees, that moment before daddy gives his little girl away. I don't listen to the words that they say, but I follow the eyes as they look at each other and then away to keep from crying too much. I've seen this moment time and time again and it's always special.

I'm getting ready for a weekend with two weddings, and one of the things I always do the night before is to sync up the date and time on every camera so when you're sorting them after the wedding, it's in perfect chronological order.


Nikon D3, Nikon D300, Nikon D200, all with the exact same time.

We just got back from Big Bear with some needed R&R. We stayed at a cute little cabin and cozied up with the pups. They've never seen snow before so it was fun to watch them run around in this mysterious cold white surface. Sen said it ended up being more tiring than if we had stayed home and slept all weekend, but it's hard to beat just how gorgeous the view is up there.
