love the way the room was set up.

One of my favs.

Does this girl look familiar? She’s one of the girls from Deal or No Deal!

How can you not love california sun

Gotta end with this shot of Mike and Ray Santana. Man don’t even get me started with Ray. That man is straight up legit. Associated Press + Professional Sports Photographer turned Wedding Photog. He’s an alum to Mikes workshop and came along to help us out. This man made me shoot manual mode the entire workshop. I owe him bigtime for making me learn it.

much love,

Newport Beach Wedding Photographer – Mike Colón Workshop day 1

A little while back, I had the awesome opportunity to attend a Mike Colón workshop in Newport Beach. Mike has become one of the luminaries of our wedding industry…but talking with him, you’d never know. He’s one of the most genuine, sincere and humble guys that you’ll ever meet. [But don't think he's a wimp...Mike's got mad brazilian jiu jitsu skills!] Anyways, to put it briefly, Lids were popped…minds were blown…massive influxes of knowledge were transferred.

Here are some images from Day1. First the location.

The neat part of everything was that we got to actually shoot some promo material for the hotel. sweet . Anyways, enough blabbin from me…

This is the Legend, using the Nikon Legend. [In case you don't speak nerd, the translation is Mike using the Nikon 200 f/2. The 200 f/2 is basically the manolo blahnik of the camera world.]

If you think that getting photographed by ONE photographer is intimidating, check out this firing squad

More to come!

much love,

This week I’m learning from the one and only Mike Colon. The man is seriously a marketing master…great shooter…overall awesome guy. They don’t mess around. Seriously. I have to do push-ups every time I don’t shoot in Manual mode! =P

For those that are curious, we’re holding class at the Pelican Hill

Our schedule is pretty packed, but I wanted to share an image with you guys. More updates to come when I catch my breath .

P.s. I’m sure the burning question on your minds is in regards to the 200 f/2 that Mike loves.

Have I tried it? Yes.

Is it heavy? heck yea!

Is it a stunning piece of glass? All I can say is WOW.

Do I want one now? Yes .

CRAPPPPP. hahaha
