A few weeks ago we shot photos of the Jacobs family in Newport Beach. You may also recognize Christian (the dad) if you are an Aquabats fan, or you may have even noticed his random cameos on Nick Jr. and Noggin being interviewed as one of the creators and directors of Yo Gabba Gabba. We're not usually ones to choose to shoot at the beach, but we thoroughly enjoyed this session, the whole family was awesome to work with, Christian brought his surf boards, and we even found some crazy ocean creatures along the beachside.
Tickle war!!!
Such adorable kids!
Seriously! Those starfish are REAL, no joke!!! I've never seen a starfish as big as the one that Oskar found!
My favorite shot of the day, that sunset was killer!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, have a safe and happy holiday!!!!

holy cow, the aquabats grew up and had families?! hehe, these are so very cool. all those shots of them with the seastars are amazing, but the first one made me laugh out loud. my wife loved the pair of shots of the mom with her daughter, calm, serene, and the dad with his sons, crazy and hyper--it reminds us of our family. you may have inspired some new family shots for us =]

The gorgeous Jenn + handsome Will were married on October 10th, 2008 in Newport Beach at the LDS Temple. We really were looking forward to this day, especially after the rad engagement session we shot with them a few months back. Jenn looked amazingly beautiful. Thanks to my fabulous sister Nicole DeAnne, for the awesome hair and makeup. Truly a work of art! Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Will King!
One little detail that I absolutely loved was the random peacock feathers found in Jenn's bouquet, Will's boutonniere, and in the back of Jenn's hair! Loved it!
Jenn's dress was hand-made!
After shooting at the Temple we headed to Downtown Orange.
There is something about this groomsmen shot that I just really like, all of them in this raw/natural way!
The ladies looked hot as well!
My second favorite shot of the day!
LOL!
We made our way into a random chandelier shop and the owner was kind enough to let us shoot in there.
Obviously...my FAVORITE shot of the day!
Mochi ball rings! Chinese lanterns! Twinkle lights everywhere!
Thanks to Jenn + Will for an awesome day! Click here to see more!

WTF! GYFOOMF! Man I'm amazed at thier beauty. I'm amazed at your beauty. I'm amazed at A and J-Ly's booty (it's a beauty). I'm amazed that all of the beauty was able to be captured in that medium sized magnesium alloy capsule you call a camera, and was safely dispossed of in that box you call an apple, and then to your screen without burning all the pixels out of your eyes. How do you do it? Get Your Face Out Of My Face!
