Loren + Nick at Bali Hai on July 3

Loren and Nick had a marathon wedding, twelve hours of rockin' photography! SO MANY photos, it was quite a job editing down to the best. They have GREAT chemistry and everyone really enjoyed the day. John took them over to Balboa Park after the church ceremony, and got some great shots. I've never seen the light fall just this way there (see Loren's photos in the dark stairwell). I LOVE it! And she wore the perfect dress to take advantage of the beautiful light in there. Then, off to Bali Hai for a crazy reception where everyone danced their butts off 'til midnight. Thanks for sharing your special day with us, Loren and Nick!

Jade Ewen Music Video Shoot in L.A.

And now for something completely different...in case you don't know, John had a CRAZY week last week. On Thursday he did corporate headshots and family beach portraits at The Del, which ended up being about 8 hours of solid shooting, and then gave two presentations of engagement images, and then drove to Los Angeles to shoot stills of this music video for Jade Ewen on Friday. She was Nala in the Lion King, as well as representing the United Kingdom in the Eurovision (huge) contest. She's also lead singer for Trinity Soul. It was a 12 hour shoot, ending at 1 in the morning. He slept there, then busted back down here to set up for the Bridal Bazaar, then shot a wedding on Saturday (gorgeous, by the way). Back at 11pm, sleep, then back to the Bridal Bazaar from 9 to 5 on Sunday. So if you saw him there, and he looked a little worn...now you know why. Enjoy the photos, and let's hope the surf's up this week so John can reboot his mojo.

Anne + Dennis in Balboa Park and Downtown

Anne and Dennis had a lovely intimate wedding with their closest family and friends. Ceremony at St. Michael's, followed by a romantic photo session in Balboa Park, and finally, dinner at the Downtown Hawaiian fusion restaurant, Roy's. I really loved a lot of the shots of the two of them, both in the Park and Downtown. Fun for me, with lots of textures! Hope you like it too!
