Recently had a great time capturing some images of the wonderful Scott family. Mama and Papa Scott are awesome and the kids have a TON of fantastic energy… they were a blast to work with!

After a 6 year hiatus, I just photographed my first Fashion shoot! Oh fashion… How I’ve missed thee.

Thanks to the entire creative team that came together in order to make this shoot happen. Also, many thanks to the girls at M Management L.A. for providing such wonderful talent.

Kay & Wesley’s Mammoth Wedding

Juan — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:38:13 +0000

Shooting this wedding was such and adventure! Having shot a wedding in Mammoth last summer, I felt fairly familiar with the area and what it had to offer. Given my level of comfort with the area I figured that the only difference this time around would be a bit of snow… maybe even some “falling” snow. Well, I got my wish, and then some. In the two days that we were there for the wedding, the Mammoth area received five feet of snow… as well as a light breeze averaging about thirty miles an hour! It was snowing sideways with little to no visibility. Kay and Wes were totally upbeat about the weather, as a matter of fact they were kind of expecting this! Despite the fact that we weren’t able to shoot outside nearly as much as I had hoped, I feel quite happy with the results. Mammoth is a kick ass place and it challenges me and my photography skills each time I’m there. Thanks for dropping by and enjoy.

Lourdes & David’s Miami Wedding

Lourdes & David came to me by way of a referral. When I received word that they wanted to go ahead and book me I was more than thrilled because that meant that I could go back to the place where I grew up and do what I love… take pictures. Lourdes & David held their ceremony and reception at the Colonnade Hotel in Coral Gables, a gorgeous & historic suburb in Miami. After their ceremony and halfway through their reception, guests were surprised by the second grand entrance of the bride and groom who were closely followed by an entire Brazilian Carnival troop consisting of drummers, dancers and even performers on stilts! It was a colorful occasion to say the least. Needless to say, all had a great time dancing the night away “Carnival” style! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Brigid & Xavier’s Malibu Beach Wedding

Juan — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:09:39 +0000

Here are a few highlight images from this past Saturday’s wedding. With 12 total guests Brigid & Xavier’s wedding was the smallest that I’ve ever photographed. But what it didn’t have in size, it more than made up for in coziness and warmth. Needless to say only their closest friends and family members were in attendance. Also, unlike weddings I’ve photographed in the past, there was no formal reception. So, after their Matador Beach Wedding, we drove to West Hollywood where we had a great time shooting at night at the corner of Sunset Blvd & Vine. Brigid & Xavier truly appreciate the art of photography and it was an honor creating these images with them. They are legitimately kind and good people. BTW, I should also mention that while shooting their portraits at Matador Beach, we had a coincidental run in with none other than Ellen Degeneres & Portia De Rossi… we have the picture to prove it! Gotta love L.A.

Mammoth Lakes is one of my favorites places on earth. Recently, I had the privilege of shooting Wendy & Mike’s wedding there and I have to admit that I would not mind becoming more of a Mammoth Lakes wedding photographer! Needless to say, when Christi from Hindshight Bride contacted me with the offer to feature my work on her wedding blog, I was thrilled. First of all Hindsight Bride is a leading Mountain Wedding blog. Secondly I’m honored to have my very first mountain wedding featured! Best of all, my second Mammoth Lakes wedding is already booked…. YES! Big thanks go out to Christi O at Hindsight Bride.

Brigid & Xavier’s Downtown L.A. Engagement Session

Juan — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:06:46 +0000

Brigid and Xavier have recently moved to L.A. from the Midwest. They are both loving life in Los Angeles and are thrilled with all our city has to offer. They’ll soon be married at the beach and thus wanted to make their engagement session more about the urban side of Los Angeles…. so urban I gave them! Hope you enjoy.

2012 Anaheim Ducks Orange & White Casino Night

Juan — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:13:37 +0000

I recently connected with the Anaheim Ducks organization with the purpose of donating my photography services. I feel incredibly fortunate in many aspects of my life and therefore try to give back when I can. The Ducks’ Orange & White Casino Night was a perfect opportunity to give back. The event benefited the Orangewood Children’s Foundation as well as the CASA of Orange County. Both very worthy organizations with a focus on helping children. The event took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim. What normally would be the ice during a regular NHL hockey game was elegantly converted into a lavish space with an emphasis on the color White! There was a VIP area, a casino, a white 50 foot geometric centerpiece, a photo-op with your favorite Ducks players, multiple bars and food, food, food! The event and the folks who attended were a lot of fun.Blogv2.0_1 Blogv2.0_2 Blogv2.0_3 Blogv2.0_4 Blogv2.0_5 Blogv2.0_6 Blogv2.0_7 Blogv2.0_8 Blogv2.0_9 Blogv2.0_10 Blogv2.0_11 Blogv2.0_12 Blogv2.0_13

Brian & Lindsey have recently been blessed with the arrival of little Dax. How adorable is this little guy? We started our shoot at their home just a short walk from the beach in Santa Monica and finished off outside to take advantage of the glorious light which we’re so lucky to have here in the West coast. These are but a few highlight images from our shoot. Welcome baby Dax!
