Aruba Beach Wedding

in

Last year, I had the great opportunity to shoot a stunning destination wedding in Aruba for one of my favorite families in the Washington DC area. I met the mother a few years ago when I did her portraits and since have shot both her daughters' weddings and will hopefully soon have the chance to do some baby portraits.

The wedding was beautifully low-key right on the beach at the Hyatt Regency Aruba.

During that wedding, I also got one of my favorite wedding pictures ever with the couple embracing in front of a beautiful sunset with a sail boat passing by...

Los Angeles Stopover

in

On the way to Kauai (Hawaii), we made a quick stop in Los Angeles to spend some time in the city and on the beach.

Our first stop took us to Manhattan Beach for some time on the pier and dinner. If you have kids, the aquatic center on the pier is really worth a visit.

Considering the warm weather, I was surprised how much into Christmas Californians are. While everything was still bleak in DC, the houses and streets in Los Angeles were all ready for Christmas...

The next day greeted us with an awesome sunrise and a trip to East Los Angeles...

And of course I never go to LA without driving on the PCH (Pacific-Cost Highway) and ending up at Matador Beach...

The pictures from Hawaii are coming soon. Stay tuned...
