Jon and Sogol Engagement

sophotography — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 23:20:15 +0000

Shot in Little Corona in Newport Beach CA on July 23. Don’t let the name fool you though….While it’s a relatively secluded area of the beach, it was packed to the edges with sunbathers toe-to-toe in the sand and body-boarders surfing the waves. Someone should have reminded us that it was summer, after all, in California.

Luckily, it wasn’t the lovely waters nor the beautiful Southern California weather that was to save the day… Jon and Sogol, came with the energy and enthusiasm only two people in love could exude and I couldn’t have asked for anything more…

Jasmine and Terry Wedding

Meet Jasmine and Terry. They planned their wedding all the way from Tennessee, arriving only a week before the actual day to iron out the little details. We met 2 days before the day of the wedding but prior to that, we had only been communicating via email. In the end, none of that really mattered because Jasmine and Terry were one of the coolest and most composed couples I’ve ever met. Nothing, not even the chaos that always goes on during weddings could rattle their control of the situation. Now that’s great chemsitry!

Here are some highlights of the wedding…enjoy!

The Future of Camera Technology?

sophotography — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 07:18:14 +0000

Before the end of 2011, Mountain View CA based startup Lytro will debut it’s first light field camera. In it is a sensor that will capture more data than the average digital camera because it is capable of recording the color, intensity and direction of every beam of light it receives. This technology allows you to edit pictures in more ways than it is possible today. No word yet on how much the camera will retail but a sample of what it can achieve is showcased on the company’s website here.
