Celeste + John Wedding

Celeste and John had a beautiful reception at her parents house in Burbank, California. They are a wonderful couple to be around and I had a great time photographing their reception.

Elizabeth Stenson Portrait

Elizabeth asked me to take some headshots for her; I quickly agreed especially since she is such a pleasure to work with. Always energetic and in a great mood; the hardest thing when photographing Elizabeth is to get her to stop laughing for the portraits. We found a great side street in Hollywood to take the photographs which turned out to be quite popular. Halfway through our session a film crew showed up and started their production a little bit down the street. Hollywood is amazing; there's always something going one here!

Style Wars @ Cinespace

House of Diehl's Style War's took place last night at Hollywood's Cinespace located at 6356 Hollywood Boulevard. In this extreme sports version of high fashion two designers face off and have a measly 5 minutes to feverishly cut, style, and assemble a look from recycled garments and everyday items. The designs, assembled directly on the models, are strutted down the runway in a walk-off; then, the judges render their decision. Fueled by adrenaline and Red Bull, the sponsor, this competition is fast paced and fierce... only one designer can emerge victorious.

Jessica Kinney Portrait

I love the 85 mm lens for portrait photography. Here's a portrait of the lovely Jessica Kinney taken with that great focal length.

Celeste + John Engagement

Celeste is an amazing hair stylist and John is a psychology student. I've known Celeste for quite some time and was thrilled when she asked me to take her engagement and wedding photographs. We had a great time at the Getty Center and then Santa Monica for more urban photos.
