michelle and arvin are the couple you see walking around, and you think to yourself “wow, that is one hot couple”, and wish you could be just like them. they make being cool seem effortless, and we had the best time venturing around venice with them. venice couldn’t have been a better choice for their engagement session; there is so much vibrancy and attitude, michelle and arvin fit right in! we are sure their september wedding is going to be amazing, and we cannot wait!

mia and gian are getting married on one of the most popular dates of ‘08. 8-8-08! we were already booked for their wedding date, but were so excited that they still wanted us to shoot their engagement pictures. we met in downtown ventura at 9:00am, and it was already scorching hot, but mia and gian worked this session as if they did it on a regular basis :). we asked them to lay down in flower beds, run through scratchy vines and splash in the ocean, all of which were done with beauty and ease! thank you guys for being awesome, we hope you have the most amazing wedding!

as some of you know, i have a regular 9-5 during the week editing television spots and trailers for movies. my first spot was chosen by paramount for the movie cloverfield, and it just so happens to be the spot they chose for their internet widget. i almost fell out of my chair when i saw it, on top of not being able to catch my breath. so for your enjoyment, i give you, my cloverfield home video spot (in a widget).
