Finn’s 1st Birthday | Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach

Today we have Finn’s first birthday to share with you! This was such a fun party and a great idea for a first birthday with the “Vintage Surfer Boy” theme. This little guy is so cute as you will see in the portraits of our guest of honor. Look at those eyes!!!

You will love all of the details for decor and party favors. Finn’s mom, Jessica put her heart and soul into planning this party and it turned out amazing. We were so happy to share this day with Finn and his family. It was a beautiful day at that, with sunny skies and warm weather in Laguna Beach. Be sure to check out the shot of Finn’s Surf Report…such a cute idea! Jeff and I received our first sunburn of the year that day, but it was totally worth it as we had a great shoot celebrating Finn’s first birthday.

Cheers to you kid!

Bow Ties by Ties.com

Hey everyone! Recently, we were contacted by the good people at Ties.com and were asked if we would like to check out a couple of their ties in exchange for blogging a bit about them. In the past few years, as the wedding business has picked up for us, I’ve needed to step up my game as far my clothing, etc. Dana and I end up at a lot of wedding industry mixers and other networking events where if you are not dressed up some, you look a bit out of place. Having worked in the surf industry the past 12 years or so, I’ve been pretty accustomed to wearing shorts and T-shirts most days. This doesn’t really fly when you are trying to impress potential clients. The best part about Ties.com is that the ties are very affordable, they have a ton of different styles and the quality is great.

I decided to check out a bow tie, since I’ve never really worn one, other than at my High School Prom. And that was a pre-tied style. I have to say, after searching various websites and YouTube for about an hour, I finally found a video that taught me how to tie it. It wasn’t as easy, or as hard as I thought it would be. Just takes some practice to get it right! Keep on the look out for another post down the line featuring the other tie they sent me!

Beverly Hilton Wedding Event | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

Posted in Event Photography, Los Angeles Wedding 3 comments

Recently I photographed a wedding event at one of the most prestigious hotels in the Los Angeles area. The Beverly Hilton is known for hosting many elite events, one in particular that you all may know of is the annual Golden Globe awards. This hotel is also a fabulous venue for your wedding too. On this particular night, our event was hosted up in The Stardust Room. This is an intimate space to gather your guests for fabulous food, dancing and great ambiance. The patio off the Stardust Room has almost a 360 degree view of Los Angeles. Looking out you are literally feeling like you are on top of the world when you see the view of the city. It was amazing! We hope you enjoy the photos from this event. There are some fabulous wedding vendors and ideas to check out for planning your wedding. Have a wonderful week, J+D

Meeting Tommy Lasorda | Orange County Event Photographer

Posted in Celebrity Photography, Commercial Portraits, Dana and Jeff, Event Photography 3 comments

Happy Friday everyone! We hope you all have a fun Valentine’s holiday planned. Jeff and I will be visiting Palm Springs this weekend for some work and then a little R&R! We are so excited to shoot Jeff and Kacy’s wedding tomorrow at The Viceroy Hotel, this is our first wedding of the year and it is going to be fabulous. Since we were staying over for the wedding, we decided to take an extra day to stay and celebrate Valentine’s Day and relax. I can’t believe with all of the bad weather we have been having across the country, Palm Springs will be a beautiful 75 degrees for the wedding and almost 80 degrees for the rest of the weekend. What to pack??? LOL Whatever you are doing this weekend, in the snow or the warmth, remember to celebrate your loved ones!

Here is a little Friday Fun I thought I would share. I recently had the opportunity to do a shoot for Argosy University and the Orange Chamber and met Baseball Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda, yes Mr. Dodger himself. What an honor to shoot this event and hear Tommy speak. That man loves baseball! He reminded me of my dad, always could talk about baseball and his team. In my dad’s case it was the Yankees, but the passion was just the same, he loved baseball and all of the history that went with the game.

I snapped several photos of Tommy speaking and even got a photo with him myself. My friend Tanya of Design Action Studios was also there and put together a little video montage of the event and his speech which you can view here. If you like baseball, especially the Dodger’s you want to watch this!
