Alissa and Phil's Wedding

Alissa and Phil met in High School. Years later they reunited and fell inlove. They are amongst the sweetest and most carefree couples I've worked with this year.

They chose to exchange vows at Anaheim White House. The cheerful and bright colors of hot pink, orange and yellow certainly matched their personalities. One unique idea they had was to invite their wedding party and guests to be barefoot...only the bold joined in.

It was a pleasure working with Alissa, Phil and their lovely families. Congrats to you all!

A special thanks to Jennifer Daigle for your wonderful help and keen eye.

America's Best Dance Crew is....

Last night, MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew" announced their winner...Super Cr3w! I had the pleasure of photographing this dynamic group a few weeks ago at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles' Annual Prom hosted by Foresters and KBIG 104.3.



In Second Place is SoReal Cru, which also gave a great performance.

Childrens Hospital Los Angeles

I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles' Annual Prom and Radiothon along with my partner in crime, Jennifer Daigle. Celebrating its 5th year in raising money for the hospital, the Radiothon is hosted by 104.3 KBIG and sponsored by Foresters. Many volunteers (including my new friends Camille and Josephine) came out to answer phones and support the hospital and the children. What a wonderful event to raise money and one of the best organizations. If you are feeling generous, please donate to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Every little bit can help.

In addition to the Radiothon, the hospital organizes the most spectacular prom for the children of the hospital and their families. Celebrity guests come out to visit with the kids as well. The main lawn of the hospital was decorated for the festivities, prom dresses were brought in for the girls and tuxedos for the boys. Make-up artists and hair stylists were available to get the girls all dolled-up and KBIG DJ's played great tunes all night.

Some of the celebrity guests present were KBIG DJ's, Irma Blanco, Kari Steele and St. John, Adrienne Bailon of the Cheetah Girls, Brenda Song of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", Kay Panabaker of "Phil of the Future", Mel B of the Spice Girls, Maria Menounos of Access Hollywood, Wilmer Valderrama of "That 70's Show", Susie Castillo of MTV's TRL, Shane Sparks of "So You Think You Can Dance" and MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew", Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith, Super Cr3w and SoReal Cru of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew".
