Formula Drift - Streets of Long Beach - Long Beach, CA 04.12.2013

The 2013 Drift Season has begun!  This season marks the 10th anniversary of the Formula Drift Professional Drifting Championships.  I have been very fortunate to have been able to attend each of the Southern California events, and a few outside of the SoCal region over the last 10 years and it is amazing to see the growth of the sport, the evolution of the championship, and the level of driving skills put on by the best drivers from all over the world.

Friday, started the weekend and Round 1 with the practice and qualifying sessions to determine the Top 32 drivers that would battle on Saturday for the rights of the Round 1 champion.  With the start of a new season, brings out new cars, and new looks for many of the drivers and 2013 does not disappoint.  Here's a look back at some of the action from Friday afternoon.

James and Susana - Engagement Photos - Palos Verdes Estates, CA 01.12.2013

James and Susana approached me off a recommendation from a good friend about 8 weeks before their actual wedding day.  After a quick meeting and some questions it was decided that I would get the honor of photographing their wedding day.

Now that the photography had been decided, we were left with a short amount of time to get in some engagement photos.  Trying to plan around work, travel, bad weather, Christmas and New Years holidays it left us with 1 possible date and it could not have been a better choice.

HITCHED!!! Brad & Lisa - 09.01.12 - Brookside Equestrian Center - Walnut, CA

Brad and Lisa were married at the beautiful Brookside Equestrian Center in Walnut, CA on September 1, 2012.  After years of dating, the day finally came about where it would become official.  The setting was perfect, 26+ acres of lush private landscape, the weather-a bit warm, but beautiful and nothing else to complain about.  More importantly, the bride was gorgeous, the groom was handsome, so what else could you really need?
