Hey there! My name is Becker and I am a wedding photographer from Orange County, California who specializes in capturing relaxed portraits, amazing details and real moments for the coolest brides and grooms on the planet.

This blog follows both my personal and professional life, and features images from the weddings I shoot, the places I travel and the friends and family members that mean so much to me. It's basically like my own personal photo album combined with an information source for my current and potential clients and a source of inspiration and education for other photographers. This site is a little more informal and I just want to give everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about. Thanks for visiting.

Some photos from Vegas 02.27.2009

Y'all know the old saying... "What happens in Vegas ends up on Becker's blog" right?

Well, here are a few photos that ended up on Facebook. Thanks to all who tagged me in the photos and if you haven't done so, please tag me so I can see the photos.

First from my P&S camera: Keats & I went to a fabulous dinner at Prime at the Bellagio for Valentine's Day:











These images were either emailed to me, or I was tagged on Facebook. Thanks again to everyone for the photos.

Wedding at Rancho Las Lomas 02.24.2009

This past Saturday I shot a wedding at one of my favorite Orange County venues... Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado Canyon. The place is simply gorgeous and unique... unlike any country club or hotel around. After threatening to rain all weak, it was a very pleasant day with nice soft light which you know I love. I actually photographed this bride when she was a competitive diver when she was around 13 years old. I know that would be a lot better story if I could find the photo and scan it to share, but you're going to have to take my word for it... it was an awesome action shot. Well last Saturday, I got some more awesome shots for this wonderful couple.

24 Carrots provided the catering and Chris Thompson Designs provided the florals.

































Jackie Blair & Cathy Crawley who were in the region for WPPI in Las Vegas last week, were kind enough to tag along and shoot with me. There are more images on their respective blogs (as at least will be shortly).



Just about all of these images were processed with one or more Totally Rad Action.

it's a bird... it's a plane... 02.20.2009

... it's Super [ b ] - or just superb if you prefer!





If you are my Facebook friend, or follow me on Twitter or 12 Seconds.tv, or saw me walking around WPPI... you've already seen the new and improved logo. My man Tim from Reddoor whipped up this little gem last week just for fun so I could have it for Vegas. And no, it's not a permanent change... just trying to have a little fun.

I feel so bad that I've completely neglected this blog for an entire week. It's the longest I've gone without posting something on it since I started blogging. WPPI was a crazy, intense week or burning the candle at both ends. In 7 days/6 nights in Vegas I think I got a total of 20 hours of sleep. I am just going to relax and nap all day today and I'll post a full recap of my trip next week along with plenty of photos.

photo field trip, salton sea 02.12.2009

Yesterday about 2 dozen [ b ] Schoolers cruised out to the Salton Sea for a little photo field trip. It's pretty trippy out there. (did y'all ever see the movie called The Salton Sea with Val Kilmer?)

Anywho... we had a great day of shooting, hanging out and making friends. As per usual, I ended up talking and socializing most of the day and didn't shoot all that much. Here are a couple of my favorites:

This one is my favorite. Processed with Grandma's Tap Shoes at 30% from the Totally Rad Actions: The Revenge collection.







Also Granny's Tap Shoes at 30%:



This isn't a great photo per se, but the fact that this tractor/crane thingy has become a part of the landscape was tripping me out. The earth is literally swallowing this thing up and you can't see any part of the original surface. Salt and other stuff is like growing all over it.

Slap Chop 02.08.2009

Ok folks... help me out! You've seen this guys below pitching the Shamwow... which I have no interest in getting, but this Slap Chop thing looks interesting. Or am I crazy and I've been watching too much TV? Does anyone have one? What about the Magic Bullet? These commercial crack me up and remind me of the carny pitchmen at the fair. "Fitz" is annoying but kinda funny. He seems awfully shady but that's not the products fault. I've been cooking more and the Slap Chop looks like it might make my life easier. Or do you think I'll get it and never use it. Thoughts?
