Our Passion Is Capturing Your Passion
I've been photographing weddings full time since 2003 — over 1,200 of them. This blog is the practical stuff couples ask me about: Pasadena and La Cañada venues, engagement locations, what things actually cost, and how to plan a day that photographs well. Skim what you need, then check the date if you want us there capturing and sharing in your day.
You have got to try our new "I know my budget, but what can I get for that?"
