Erin and Mike got married last year at the beautiful Prado in San Diego's Balboa Park. Their wedding was photographed by the FABULOUS Ron Hughes.

Erin, AKA Tweedy Bird and her mother and I worked on every detail of the decor and flowers and I will say that over the whole planning experience I grew to LOVE them. They are what you call in my neck of the woods, "good people"

I again will say how much fun it is for me to see people I have worked with and who I have seen get married well after the wedding is over. In this case, they keep in touch and have shared with me a new arrival................8 month old Jordan................enjoy the before and the after.!!

Details, details, details.........!

The first time I met Rebecca, she was working as an assistant at one of my weddings for another very well known wedding photographer. Her was this tall, gorgeous, impeccably dressed woman shooting photos of my food. I introduced myself, and asked if I could see what she was shooting. She let me look into her camera and what I saw was amazing. Detailed, clean, perfect photos.

Since that first meeting, I have referred Rebecca many times to my clients and I have worked with her on my own detailed shots for my ads and web site.

Another wonderful thing that I love about Rebecca is that she is a true DOG person, you know how much I love dogs, and Rebecca is just as passionate about the four legged guys...........I hope she will be availible when I get the BOW WOW BOTT part of my businss off the ground!!!

I recently heard from Djoahn and Arthur Ebuen, a couple I worked with a few years back and still will say one of mty favorite couples ( two of the sweetest and talented people on the planet!!!).............I love them!!! Together we created a beautiful wedding and reception photographed by Ventana Studios. So here are a few wedding photos, followed by Djoahn and Arthur's latest "creation".

ENJOY!!!

Perhaps the photographer's I seem to work with most are the team of Chana and Don. There have been times where I see them every weekend! Chana and Don are not only excellent photographers, they are also 2 of the nicest people on the planet.

I love the way both of them seem to right on the edge of what is happening on the day of the wedding. They are seem to anticipate the mood, the pace, the personalities of the guests and most important, they also seem to be closely linked to the bride and groom.

Another thing that I love about them is there attention to detail and the amazing focus they have. They do not miss a thinng!

I wanted to post over the next few weeks a sort of tribute to some of the photographers that I work with and I wanted to start with Darin Fong.

I call Darin "the genius". Darin is one of those photographers who really "get it". Darin's work  is not only exceptional but he really "gets" how to capture moments that encapsulate the wedding experience. So many moments are spontaneous, and not part of “posed” photos with family and friends and it takes a real talent, and a real genius to be there and capture on film those unique moments of life.

I think Darin is not only a genius, I think he is one of those few talents that can really “go with the flow” and capture the event as it unfolds. So many photographers actually stand in the way of the flow with an agenda that not always is compatible with months of planning of the wishes of the bride and groom. Not Darin. He is almost invisible as he works his way in and out of the event, his work is seamless and his work is beautiful.

Take a look at some of his work:
