Every now and then I have the opportunity to work with an absolutely ideal couple. Matt and Nicole are just that. These two love each other and enjoy life more than my words can say. When I finally met them face to face I was thrilled to find out how much fun and how easy to photograph they were. The entire shoot truly felt like I was just hanging out with long time friends. We began in downtown Santa Monica, spent some time running around the streets,and finally ended at the Pier...it was great, and I loved it!
I can't wait for their wedding, which I will photograph in August.

For this shoot I used Canon 5d Mark II with 35 mm 1.4, 50 mm 1.4 and 100 2.0.
For off-camera flash photos I used canon speedlight with Photoflex LiteDome XS.
Matt+Nicole :: Engaged :: Santa Monica, CA

Jeff+Kara :: Engaged :: At the Ranch

I remember when Kara contacted me for the first time regarding her and Jeff's wedding. I got really exited, as I knew both Jeff and Kara for quite sometime, as we went to the same school together, and even were in some of the same classes.
When it came time for engagement session, Kara knew exactly where she wanted it to be. It's a ranch located east from Porteville, CA owned by her relatives. It took us a while to get there, as it is located literally in the middle of nowhere, yet the scenary was gorgeous.

Alik+Olya :: Engaged :: Pevek, Chukotka
Jan 20th | Sasha Leahovcenco
I would never imagine that one day I will photograph engagement session literally on the end of the earth. Yet, a week ago I came back from Pevek - northest city in Russia where I photographed engagement of my two good friend - Alik and Olya.
I met Alik in Fresno, CA where we went to the same school, and Olya is a good friend of mine back from Moldova. Both of them decided to move to North for a long-term mission serving people of Chukotka.
Olya and Alik decided to make their engagement very special, so they dressed in national Chukotka clothes.
Here are some of my favorites:
