Redondo Beach Engagement Photos | Ben + Allison

Sunday at 5 p.m. in Redondo Beach on Avenue I.
The sun was just starting to make its way down, and the light had that soft, flat, people friendly sheen that photographers love. We met Ben and Allison at the ramp, and headed down to the Hollywood Riviera sand--just us, a whole lot of birds, and a handful of folks who had come out to watch the glorious beach sunsets.
Our couple is getting married next October in Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love. We're sure it will be a beautiful, glorious affair. But for our money, there's nothing like Redondo Beach!

Cynthia & Jack |Manhattan Beach Engagement Photos

Cynthia and Jack met in Manhattan Berach 13 months ago at the world renowned Shark's Cove sports bar. They were at the counter, started talking and now they're set to wed on 11/11.
We had a blast accompanying Cyn and Jack back to their meeting spot to document it for their engagement shoot, and then heading down to the Manhattan Beach Pier for some romantic sunset shots.

Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah | Brian, Temple Isaiah, 9/15/2007

We loved watching Brian reading from the torah this weekend at Temple Isaiah in Los Angeles, followed by a rockin' party at the swanky Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Los Angeles Wedding Photography | Adriana & Enoc @ Union Station

We brought Adriana and Enoc to the historic Union Station in downtown Los Angeles shortly after their Boyle Heights wedding. This is the happy couple, enjoying a post-wedding smooch in the wonderful afternoon light.

Selena & Mishel | Los Angeles Jewish Wedding | Temple Judea

Four weeks ago Selena and Mishel decided to make it official. They hustled to get family and friends together and put on a beautiful affair Sunday, August 19, 2007 at Temple Judeau in Irvine, California.
Shortly before the ceremony, we took these portraits of Selena and Mishel under the Hupa at Temple Judea, and North Lake in Irvine.

Palos Verdes Wedding | La Venta Inn

Karen and Saul--Come on Down!!!
Several years ago Karen got her big moment on TV's classic "The Price is Right," wearing one of those wacky "I Love Bob Barker," T-shirts to get the now attention of the now retired, legendary TV host. Afterwards, she went out to dinner at Koo Koo Roo, and struck up a conversation with Saul, who asked about the shirt.
One thing led to another, and four years later, Karen and Saul tied the knot, on July 28, 2007, at the stunning La Venta Inn, in Palos Verdes.
Karen held onto her "Price is Right" name-tag for her grand entrance--and the couple made their way in to lots of applause and the "Price," theme song. Now she's going to have her name-tag framed--along with some of these shots from their Palos Verdes La Venta wedding as well!

Hermosa Beach Engagement Photos | Heather & Dave

We met with Heather and Dave on Monterey and Pier Avenues, right around the corner from Becker Surf. This was the exact location where they met several months ago and started talking. One thing led to another, and the next thing they knew, they were engaged to be married, with a wedding set for next May, near Austin, Texas.
Sunday was Heather and Dave's official engagement photo session shoot with Graham and Graham Photography, and we opted for a sunset shoot. It was slightly foggy, and not exactly swimming in color, but the light was subtle and wonderful, and we loved every minute of it.
We usually do our E-sessions in Manhattan Beach, under and near the Pier, but loved the urban setting of rollicking Pier Plaza, and the soft light in the sand. We just may do all of our Los Angeles Wedding engagement sessions in Hermosa from now on!

Congrats guys!
