Albert and I have know each other almost 10 years. He reminded me that the conga drums that he uses to play worship with were once mine. He has found the love of his life in Diana. Though they are from completely different cultures, they blend seemlessly into oneness.
You might remember Diana from her sister Daisy’s wedding a few months ago. This is a banner year for the Guilea family – Daisy, Diana, and Simona are all getting married this year and I have the pleasure of photographing all the weddings.
Diana and Albert wanted something a little different, so we took off to Downtown Los Angeles late one afternoon and took photos at the Ahmanson Theater, the Disney Concert Hall, and the Cathedral of the Angels.
Let’s start with something a little family friendly.

Relaxing on the stainless steal exterior of the Disney Concert Hall.

But things were starting to heat up….

And we ended up with some real passion.

What happens when you can’t finish jump school and have to repeat the whole thing? You meet your future husband, that’s what.
Kelly and Mark could have met at West Point, but they didn’t. It took a pull-up and a series of serendipitous events to bring them together.
And so a day after America’s birthday, I was lucky enough to capture some of the best American’s as they joined their lives.
Here’s Mark leading a future meeting of the Joint Chiefs.

Here’s our gorgeous bride.

And another one since she looked so beautiful.

It took very little encouragement to have them kissing all day.

The wedding ended with guests sending Kelly and Mark off with a parade of sparklers.

Special thanks to Lori Mischler and Kathy Recchia from Save the Date who did an incredible job keeping everything looking beautiful and on schedule and a big hug to Michelle and her staff at the Palos Verdes Country Club.

I happened to be going through some photos I took for my wife and her family last year and came across this picture of Patty with her sisters. Patty is the hot blond second from the left.
In order from left to right we have…
Zulema – The baby of the family and one half of a set of paternal twins. She is married to Luis and they have two beautiful children, Max and Belizia.
Patty – My wife and boss of our family
Lydia – The second to oldest, Lydia is married to Miguel and has four boys-Justin, Jacob, Joshua, and Joseph.
Linda – The only single one in the bunch. Linda has one little boy, Caden.
As you can imagine, these lovely ladies cause quite a scene when they show up. No pictured are their brothers, Ulises and Aureliano.

Well…It’s been a little more than a year and a half since I photographed Dave and Erin’s Wedding at Bianci Vineyards and as sometimes happens, they are now the very proud mother and father of a gorgeous little girl named Cambria.
In case you didn’t get the connection, Cambria is also the name of a wonderful wine region on California’s Central Coast, not far from where they were married.
Congratulations to the Fish and Locke families. Now cousin Reyn has a playmate in the family.

Here’s mom and dad admiring their creation.

Back when I was 13 years old on Tybee Island, my good friend Jacqueline had a Honda Passport moped. With. gas prices pushing $4.50 a gallon here in Southern California, I picked up something to help save on Gas.
The Lance Venice is one of the better manufactured Chinese Scooters. It has a standard GY6 150cc four-stroke engine and front ABS. My first tank averaged nearly 75MPG.
A big thank-you to Vince from Scooter Dynasty for helping me out.
