Hey all! I just wanted to say Happy Halloween and remind everyone that today at midnight is the deadline for Bludomain's Anti-Pumpkin Contest.  The rules: carve a bitchin', anti-inspired jack-o-lantern and win a  spot to the Anti-Workshop: Vegas!  I've seen a couple of the entries and they rocked my sock off!  Good luck to all the entries and see you in Vegas! p.s. only 6 spots left in the next Anti-Workshop!  Get your ass in gear! p.p.s. - tune it tomorrow for Murray's Birthday portrait!  He's 14 tomorrow and, in celebration, I tortured him with a birthday hat and my camera!

After almost 2 years of chatting with Laura about photography, Photoshop and weddings, I finally got to shoot her and her fantastic fiancee, Jeff.  Their wedding has been in the works for a while; it changed dates and locations, but I always knew, sooner or later, I was gonna shoot it!  When the day finally came, I was delighted to be a part of it!  Laura and Jeff are amazing people and their family was incredible.  It was a small, intimate ceremony (my favorite!) at Calistoga Ranch, followed by an incredible dinner in their wine cave. Laura's shoes - I think Laura looks great in this image - A couple more details - The gorgeous bride - Mom and Dad walking her down the aisle - Doesn't Jeff look so happy? We had lots of time for portraits, which was so wonderful - The wine cave - Their first dance - And the cake! - To Laura and Jeff:  Thank you for treating me like family!  It was truly a pleasure to get to know you and to document your amazing day! delightfully, Chenin

Last weekend I traveled to Wine Country to shoot Kacey and Billy's wedding. I was looking forward to this wedding ever since I met Kacey, who is absolutely delightful. The day was every bit as beautiful as I expected and I'm really excited to share some of my images with you all! I loved these simple, elegant shoes - I'm always looking for hard, architectural light (even in unexpected places!) - Kacey looking fabulous - The moment when Kacey and Billy saw eachother for the first time - A little moment during the Ketubah signing - And the ceremony - Some portraits - Their reception was in a huge barrel room - First dance - Cheers! To Kacey and Billy: Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing your day with me! delightfully, Chenin

Because they just finished 3 days of kick-ass learning, sharing and friend-making!  There are only 10 spots left in The Anti-Workshop: Vegas!  If you wanna join the fun (and learning) - SIGN UP NOW (or forever hold your peace....)

Before my little trip, Jaime and Chris got hitched at her family home in Pasadena, CA. The delightful Angel Swanson was in charge of the gorgeous decor (and warding off the rain!). All around, it was a beautiful day and a super-fun wedding! Some portraits of the lovely couple - A few details - And then it was party time! To Jaime and Chris: Enjoy Bora Bora! delightfully, Chenin
