2015 Year in Review

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

Capitola Surprise Proposal on the Beach

Steve contacted me, saying he was going to propose to his girlfriend on the beach and wanted me to capture it –so cool! I suggested Capitola beach and suggested other details, down to which way he should face and the very spot to do it. There was only one chance to do it, no do-overs! […]

Molly + Zak (Wedding Photography) @ Monarch Cove Inn, Capitola, California

It had been several years since I’d shot a wedding at Monarch Cove Inn – a lovely little venue overlooking the ocean in Capitola, California; so of course I was elated when Molly told me I was her top choice of the photographers she’d interviewed. There are separate suites on the property for the guys […]

Christian + Catherine = Veronica (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

Oh. My. God. Little 2yo Veronica is simply adorable! She was a little shy at first, not sure what to think about me (see first photo below), but after a couple minutes she was all smiles. It doesn’t hurt that I’m not ashamed to dance for small children. Or anyone, really, but I digress. I […]

Amy + Elliott (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola Beach

Even though it appeared to be an overcast, dreary day in Capitola, Amy and Elliott turned up the heat for their engagement session in downtown Capitola. They rode their cruisers, posed in front of the mural, cuddled on private property (oops!), trespassed on the train tracks (double oops!), and of course traversed all around the […]

College Girls and Bunny Attack Capitola Beach (People Photography)

OK, so this shoot required some kind of sensational headline. To be honest, college girls aren’t exactly my target demographic, but in the next few years they could all be potential bride-clients, so you never know. Regardless, we all had a blast shooting at the fogged-in Capitola Beach this morning. It was 10am when we […]

Logan > Ryder (Brothers)

These little guys had a lot of fun playing with each other, running around the beach and chasing mom with sticks. Ah, boys will be boys! I ran around with them, doing my best to capture the moments. They were good enough to even pose for a few shots under the wharf, which turned out […]

Wan Family Portraits

Alice Wan called me up to get some photos of her brother who came up from LA and parents, who just arrived from Hong Kong. We had a lot of fun walking around downtown Capitola and the beach. Here’s my favorites from our shoot, all 74 photos are here.

Rocio, Sebastian and Aiden (Family Portraits)

Rocio, Sebastian and 18mo Aiden are residents of Capitola, so it made sense to get some professional family portraits done near their home. We met downtown at Zelda’s and trekked to the east side of the beach, near the cliffs, for most of our photos. It was a quick session, not even an hour, but […]

Karen + Jack (Anniversary)

Although this looks more like an engagement shoot, this was actually a celebration of Jack and Karen’s third wedding anniversary! Usually I don’t see a whole lot between newly married couples and those celebrating their 50th anniversaries, so it was a treat to see someone celebrating in-between, just for the heck of it. Karen surprised […]

Amber + Michael (Wedding)

I didn’t meet Amber and Michael until three days before their wedding – they are local to Washington State, but were planning their wedding to take place in Santa Cruz, where I live. (WARNING: gratuitous self-promotion plug ahead) Being the young and tech-savvy couple they are, they searched Yelp for “Wedding Photographers” and with twenty-one […]

Wedding – Dawn & Keith

Rain could not keep this loving couple from tying the knot…although it did complicate things for the vendors! Luckily it never poured, and the sun came out for the reception at the beautiful location – Monarch Cove Inn, Capitola, CA. Here’s a small sampling from the day I’d like to share. Click here for my […]
