Canoga Park Wedding | Orcutt Ranch

Napa Valley in Canoga Park!
Marlen and Williams, from the stunning Orcutt Ranch in Canoga Park, a facility with 1920s historic homes and acres of lush grounds. What a setting--and couple!

Here's to another 50

On the same day we met with soon-to-be newlyweds Karen and Saul, we also spent some time with Cecily and Jim , to prepare for their 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. We were making a video montage of their lives together, a tour down memory lane, courtesy of some great old photographs and Elvis Presley, Artie Shaw, Frank Sinatra and the Spiral Staircase.
For the ending, we brought the two lovebirds to a Manhattan Beach park for pictures under a tree.
Check out the montage

Karen and Saul by the Sea | Manhattan Beach Engagement Photos

Karen and Saul are slated to tie the knot in July, at the beautiful La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes, and we'll be there to document the event. We recently met with the lovely couple in and around the Pier in Manhattan Beach for some romantic couple shots, or as they're called in the biz, "engagement" photos.

Woodland Hills Bar Mitzvah Photography

Max's bar mitzvah was in the historic Temple Aliyah in Woodland Hills, where his mom Gayle also had her bat mitzvah in March--back in the 1980s sometime. Love the stained glass on the bima, which provided this colorful backdrop.

Bat Mitzvah in Manhattan Beach

Erin's bat mitzvah was held at the beautiful Verandas in Manhattan Beach, in an open-air courtyard blocks from the ocean. The beauty of afternoon events like this one is the closing havdalah portion, and great candle shots like this.
Mazel tov Erin!
