I Do: The Wedding Of Matt & Sepideh


California is a gem. I don't think any photographer could ever exhaust the varied list of picturesque nooks and crannies to sling a lens at. But when the opportunity came along to skip town for a beat and photograph a wedding in Puerto Rico, I was firing up Expedia faster than green on grass.

First off, a high-five to Adrienne for the referral -- your friendship is truly valued! And, of course, a super duper thanks to Matt and Sepideh for their hospitality, trust, and humbling invitation to join them across the miles to document this turning point in their lives.


Staged on the cozy beach-front of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, wedding vows mixed sweetly with the swoosh of palms and the whoosh of San Juan surf. It's always inspiring to visit new territory, and Matt and Sepideh truly made us feel right at home... save for maybe for the lizards roaming around... you don't see those in Cali!


Partnership is precious. That old saying: "you don't realize what you have until it's gone". Well, I also think there's truth to: "you don't realize what you're missing until you have it." A mantra not just for nuptials, but life and work. See, this is the second wedding Gian has tagged along on, and boy, what a revelation it's been to have a helping hand... not just with wrangling gear or snapping some crazily good keeper shots of her own... but to have someone by your side, rooting for you... well, that's the best. Photography and I spend a lot of time together, and indeed that time is best shared.

Thanks again Matt and Sepideh for the memories and the mojitos! It was a beautiful adventure!

Honey, I Shrunk The Book


If this book was a hamburger, it'd be a slider. Bite-sized. Mini Me. Bethca can't eat just one!

At 4x4", this keepsake lures you in for a closer look with its deceptively small size, and then slaps you silly with its wrap-around cover, full page spreads, and punchy press printed images. With its compact profile and sturdy build, this book is the perfect fit in a pocket or purse. Super convenient for sharing your favorite images on the road with family and friends. No need to carry around a stack of prints or a larger album. The bound pages are firm with a glossy sheen, and fingerprints wipe away clean in a snap. A custom gift guaranteed to make an immediate impression. And if you have an appetite for bigger images, these books are available in larger sizes and proportions, too!

Here's our most recent... from The "L" Twins shoot.
