My best friends wedding
Over this past weekend I attended and was the best man at my best friend Donny’s wedding. I’ve literally known Donny my entire life. His Mom and my Mom were friends so Donny was actually at the hospital the day I was born. Since then we’ve been like family, in fact Donny always introduces me to people as his cousin. After the ceremony one of the brides brothers even went up to me to tell me that now we’re family, thinking that in fact Donny and I were real cousins. But family or not, he’s been like an older brother to me my entire life.
I’m Engaged!
This past weekend I FINALLY proposed to my girlfriend of five and a half years. It was a long time coming and I'm so glad she stuck by me all these years. I wanted to really make my proposal special for her because of this. Ever since I got into photography I've always planned on popping the question at a beautiful landscape location. Whenever Chau and I go somewhere I'm always going out at sunset to take photos so I knew I'd have a good excuse to get us out somewhere with a beautiful view
Glacier Ridge
Recently I got back from an annual backpacking trip that I go on every year with some buddies of mine. This year we headed over to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park (SEKI) with our main destination being Glacier Ridge. Last year we followed Phil Arnot's advice and had an awesome trip to Brewer Basin so we decided to give another one of his routes a go.
Ryan and Chrissie | Engagement
Justin and I did an E-Session for one of my old high school friends. we needed the practice and they needed some different looking pictures than the ones they got from their photographer so it was a win win situation. during this shoot i got to practice my off camera lighting extensively. i had my girlfriend carry around a monopod with a 580 II attached to the top all evening. i had an awesome time trying to tame the light. here are some of my photos from this shoot. enjoy!
