Deragisch Wedding

Was given the opportunity to document the wedding of Scotty and Carlyna Deragisch last Saturday. I was quite excited leading up to the event because shooting big events like this is one of my favorite things to do. I love becoming part of the crowd and capturing the joyful vibe of the wedding. The ceremony and reception took place at the Rivers End Cafe in Seal Beach, where we were accompanied by one of the best sunsets I've seen in a long time.

Kelsey

Here's a few samples from a sitting I did yesterday with my friend Kelsey, who some may remember from the "Hit Me" series I did a few weeks back. She approached me a few weeks ago to see if I was interested in taking some graduation portraits for her and her family. I was happy to do so because I really wanted to try out my new reflectors. I couldn't find someone to help me out that day so I had some trouble getting the shot and simultaneously hold the reflectors which was quite difficult with how windy it was. It was a lot easier when we went over to the school later. I think they turned out pretty well and I'm excited to incorporate these lighting techniques into my repertoire for the future

CSULB Snowboard Team Rail Jam

Took the day off from class to hang out with my good friends on the snowboard team. After a lot of work, they were able to set up a rail jam at the Pyramid. I couldnt believe that were were snowboarding on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of Long Beach.
