I'm very excited about how the turnout and the energy of the LA PUG last night. I want to first thank Mike Larson for coming out and giving us a fantastic talk about building client relationships and how to turn your photography business into a fine tuned machine. As many of you know last night was my debut as the new leader of the Los Angeles PUG. I couldn't have asked for a better start! I want to thank all of you who made the drive down to Beverly Hills for the PUG. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

For every challenging situation, there are many opportunities hidden beneath. This workshop will help you find just that.

Bring cameras for live shoot
Laptops & card readers for downloading and editing.
What photographs to bring:
To get the most out of your critique session, 4 out of your 6 images should be photographs that you feel you would like to receive help on. The last 2 should be photographs that you are very proud of. The best way to take steps forward in your work, is to pinpoint weaknesses, learn from them and practice breaking them down into individual photographic elements you can handle.
Hope you can join us!

The Los Angeles Bridal Bar put together this amazing masquerade party last night at the Petit Ermitage Hotel. If you haven't been to this hotel, it's worth the trip. It's so interesting and chic. The party had a water acrobatics team perform a beautiful show. The party was for the wedding industry and it was so great to meet more amazing and talented people.
Wow, you wedding was definitely one I will never ever forget. It was so unique and magical. I loved how it was on the day of the dead in Oaxaca, Mexico. It gave the five days we were there a very unique flavor and truly an unforgettable experience. Your families are so beautiful and full of life. Gisele was amazing and a total sweetheart. I really liked her and I already miss her. Anyway, here a just a few pictures I wanted to showcase before we get started on your big project. I hope you enjoy it!
Congratulations on your beautiful wedding in Scottsdale. I wish you and Matt the very best on your new life together. Thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer! I had a great time photographing your wedding and getting to finally meet you. Enjoy the slideshow and again congratulations!
Thank you for flying me to Tucson, AZ to photograph your wedding. I was honored to be your photographer after being together for 10 years. What a great story and testament of your love. Both you and Brian were so easy going and great to work with. It was fun to photograph you two. Enjoy the slideshow!
Deepa and Evan, it was so much fun shooting your beautiful and ultra colorful wedding. It was truly a colors galore event as well as a cultural experience. I enjoyed photographing both of your ceremonies. It was so nice to see the contrast one after the other.
