I rode in a Zeppelin last week (one of the perks for “writing” a column for lbpost.com) It was amazing.

Testing out the fairway’s with our golfcarts and simply being men. Royal Links golf course took good care of us and [...]

Remy and Joe have the best chemistry ever. I was inspired and found it easy to capture the emotion they had for eachother. Arroyo Trubuco Golf Club was the perfect location for their wedding day, great lighting, weather, relaxed atmosphere went along with some great friends and family. I really enjoyed shooting in the bridal [...]
