Beverly Hills Charity Photography – Society of Young Philanthropists Gala

May 20th, 2009

Last weekend, I (Justin) and our associate photographer Max had the opportunity to help out a wonderful non-profit organization called the Society of Young Philanthropists. The organization held a Gala to benefit the Generation Rescue (children with autism) and Save a Child’s Heart. The gala hosted 600 young philanthropists and raised over $30,000. “This year’s gala theme highlighted the fact that despite the current economic situation, SYP is still dedicated to its mission of giving back to the community.”

Malibu Wedding Photography – Calamigos Ranch – Christian and Teresa

May 13th, 2009

Hey everyone this is Pye,

A little more than a week ago, I had the opportunity of shooting Christian and Teresa’s beautiful wedding with two of our awesome Associate Photographers, James and Natalia. Teresa and Christian planned out an amazing 1920s Great Gatsby themed wedding and it couldn’t have turned out more amazing. From the 1920s style clothing to the classic Calamigos Ranch venue setting up in Malibu, the whole scene was perfect.

Anyway, James, Natalia and I had a blast spending the day with our couple, their family and guests. Since Calamigos Ranch is quite large, they actually have multiple weddings going on at the same time in different areas. However, I think everyone can agree when I say we were lucky enough to be shooting the most gorgeous couple out there.

Christian and Teresa, we wish you both the best in your marriage. You guys are an amazingly fun loving couple and it was truly a pleasure shooting your wedding and getting to become your friends.

Annelise Fratella I would like to get a wedding quote for my wedding at Calamigos in January if you are still available. We have a problem with our other photographer and these pictures are stunning. Thank You!
Erin Bagaason I love finding new images of our property. Your photography is exceptional & this blog is one of the best I have seen! If you want to share any of the images with us at Calamigos we would be honored to display samples of your work. We also adore Debbie Fields and her floral designs! (erinb@calamigos.com)
Debbie Fields These photos are amazing. I'm the florist that did the flowers for Teresa and Christian and I work with photographers all the time. I have to say that your work is absolutely flawless and seemed to capture the raw emotion of each moment. What talent! But, how could you go wrong with this beautiful couple?
Denise Drake Wow, these photos definitely captured the evening. What amazing photography that captured the scenery the loving vibration that filled the air. I am so glad I got to participate in such a lovely affair!
Lauren Sum This is amazing! The setting of the wedding reminds me of the the wedding on Gossip Girls. I think they were going for the whole Great Gatsby look on the show, too.

Santa Monica Engagement Photography – Huntley Hotel – Lauren & Bassem

May 7th, 2009

Hi Everyone:

Last Friday, we had a chance to hang out with a lovely couple from New York. Lauren and Bassem came all the way to the other side of the country for the nice ….. cloudy California beach weather. All kidding aside, the clouds provided studio-like lighting in almost every direction. After a day on the beach with Lauren and Bassem, we moved the shoot to the Huntley Hotel, a hip and trendy place right next to the beach. Congrats on the Engagement; and we hope you enjoy your pictures.

Los Angeles Engagement Photography – Walt Disney Concert Hall – Brian & Ally part 1

May 5th, 2009

Hey Everyone!

This past weekend Justin and I (Pye) went out to downtown Los Angeles with our new friends Brian & Ally. First we stopped at The Walt Disney Concert Hall, where we did our take on the popular landmark. The architecture is amazing; and the environment is very photography friendly. For example, we didn’t have to sneak around the guards, as they were very accommodating. The only thing they asked us to do was to not use our sun shields. Also, the sun bounced beautifully off the walls, creating a studio-like environment.

We had a ton of fun with you two Brian and Ally; and we can’t wait for your wedding.
