I captured this image just before the ceremony as the bride was getting ready to walk down the aisle. I love her mothers excitement and expression as she places the veil over her daughters face.

I like to follow my couples after they get married with a long lens giving them their privacy from a distance yet still capturing intimate moments.  This image I shot through the fountain in the garden where they sat to reflect on their nuptials.

  I shot this image while I second shot with my friend, Adam Kent at the Mission Inn in Riverside. Camera was on the tripod using my 15mm  fisheye lens at F8 1/10 at 320ISO. I purposely asked the bride to run up the stairs as fast as she could so that I could capture the blur.

When I asked this group of boys who wants to kiss the bride this boy just puckered up and planted one on the bride without hesitation. I love the reactions of the other boys as he kissed her. Each bots face conveys its own unique story.

I shot this images many years ago while shooting a destination wedding in Montreal Canada. We were in a park taking pictures and I asked the bride and groom to just walk up and sit down next to this group of seniors who were having a rest in the shade along with some no doubt, meaningful conversation. I love the reaction of the lady who they sat next to. I think she was a bit surprised to see a bride and groom seated next to her as the woman had no idea where they came from. Then there's the gentleman in the red jacket who watched the whole thing go down and is quite amused at his lady friends...

I captured this image in 1994 on my first trip to Europe.  It was captured in Gamla Stan in old town Stockholm Sweden.  I was drawn to shoot this image because I was struck by how these kids where really enjoying the music that this cute little man was playing on the street.  It was a time before Twitter, Facebook, or even smart phones, as a matter of fact I think all I owned in 1994 was a pager.  I don't think I even owned a cell phone yet. Technology is/was supposed to make our lives easier, yet it has definitely hindered the life-to-life connection we humans need.  Yes we can connect...

I shot this image a wedding I shot in October at Pelican Hill in Orange County. The Bride father had just walked in and she turned to me and placed her hands on his face, what was I to do when this images was looking back at me, take the picture of course.  I really love how this image feels.  There are so many stories that father and daughter share together. I am so happy to catch a moment like this, I know they will both cherish this image for a long time.
