Here are three images from their wedding day at the Laguna Cliffs Marriot There will be many more to come as we have thousands of images that are being edited through. I just wanted to drop a few on the blog.  The shot of Michelle feeding Chirag during the ceremony is his. I’m fortunate to have friends who are great photographers who will come in and work with me to help produce an amazing wedding portfolio.
I love the shot of the bridal party. They were all so natural! I was excited to be able to use my new lighting kit and make the overhead sunlight, my friend instead of my enemy. The black and white shot of the couple is one of my favorites from the day. Chirag was helping her put the jewelry on for the ceremony, a great little moment for them to rememeber, forever.

I am so behind on posting images from recent weddings, events, and personal stuff! In the meantime, until I get to those, I thought I’d invite you to check out the new website for the most amazing new restaurant in Laguna…. Watermarc. Tapas style, small plates, small prices, but the food is incredible and decor has been created by the most amazing Mark and Ryan Singer.   I really enjoyed working on a project like this, working with the owners and a great team of creatives. Also, visit my friend Tannerteale.com who was the web designer for the site, great friend and designer.  Check out the site and view the images.  I shot everything from the food, to background images, interior and exterior shots, and  models for the shot you see here in the post.  OH…and next time you’re in Laguna Beach, CA. stop by Tosti Studios and then walk three blocks to Watermarc!

Maddie, Keaton, and Sarah had their “decent” birthday party on April 25th at Seven Degrees.  Ok, it wasn’t “decent,” it was insane!  These girls had the party of a life time, at 13.  I wonder what their fourteen or even their sweet sixteen will be like?!  The dance floor lit up, the theme was as neon as you could possibly be,  get all jacked up at Keaton’s Kandy bar and send a text to the huge text message board.  Check out the shot of the cakes, where Maddie’s mom send her a text to the large text board.   I was impressed with their dancing most of all, because, just like any 13 year old’s party, it started with the the boys on one side and the girls on the other. However, thanks to some good tunes and the candy bar, I think they got out there pretty quick.

I had so much fun photographing these kids,  they had a blast and didn’t need to drink cocktails, just a lot of sugar:)  Happy birthday girls, you rocked it!
