Courtney + Jeremy
Courtney and Jeremy were married on the film stage of Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design, where Courtney works. The black and white backdrop was a refreshing source of inspiration for me, and equally challenging. It was the first wedding where I had to light nearly every shot, but I took the opportunity and ran with it. They were such a laid back, photogenic couple who were game to go anywhere on campus with me and trusted my vision completely. In lieu of a traditional bridal party they said their vows standing next to their siblings, who provided a supportive and loving energy. This evening wedding was finished off with a chocolate fountain, dessert buffet, and loads of dancing. I feel honored to have made so many great pictures with them.
A million thanks to my best friend Aurora Lady, who occasionally moonlights as my assistant, for carrying my gear and keeping the portraits fun and stress free! I couldn’t have done it without her.
Congrats Courtney + Jeremy!
nicely done. I loved the photos and I don’t even know the couple. I wish I had been at the wedding. At the least, I am ready to go to a party, and it is 2 in the afternoon. Fun, tender and loving.

Another home run, but that goes without saying. The shots of the red car are particularly stunning. I still look forward to not getting married with great enthusiasm, but if I ever decide to do so for say, political reasons, or to consolidate my power with a rival clan, I’m gonna book your services MONTHS in advance. My engagement to the oblivious daughter of a shadowy industrialist or well-connected senator may be a thinly-veiled power grab, but your photos of the coldly lavish event will turn an otherwise grotesque affair of manipulated hearts and shameless ambition into a stylish yet whimsical bedtime story for our prep school grandchildren.
That pic of Jeremy with the red car might just be the best thing ever. New album cover, yes?
love the shots! great work… so nice to see someone using light right! keep it up.
