I'm excited to to tell you all that one of my engagement sessions has been picked up for an online wedding magazine article! LA Style Unveiled is a very cool, very chic online web site for wedding couples.  You need to check it out for all the great inspiration and timeline advice.

Anyhow, head on over to see the E-session I did of Sandra and Kevin in Venice recently.

DJ's Bar Mitzvah was probably the most packed, most fun Bar Mitzvah that I've photographed in a long time.  I have never seen so many people cram a dance floor until the last song played, young and old, all there celebrating DJ! And of course it didn't hurt that the reception was at the famous Canyon Club.  (I've shot a few concerts here as well and it is a very cool venue if anyone is shopping around for something dark and rock and roll-ish!)

Okay, so they also had my all time, new favorite event thing (that's a technical term)... they had a Candy Bar!!!!!! Yummmmm!  It was set up outside so as the kids left they could fill up a container.  I think I need to put in my contract that all events I shoot from now on have to have a Candy Bar!  

Just wrapping up editing but meanwhile here are some photos of the amazing Bar Mitzvah boy himself...

Many of you may recognize this Aussie beauty in my wedding portfolio.  Well, this time she called for some sexy shots for her hubby. I always have a blast hanging out with her and we got some great photos, laughed a lot and she posed her heart out! Enjoy! Oh, and shoe-lovers, aren't these shoes to die for???
