Laguna Beach Engagement Shoot

This past weekend I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Don and Tiffany for their engagement shoot. I'll be shooting their wedding with Trent of Pro Image Weddings at a beautiful church in Laguna Beach. For this day we went to a great park and just had fun. Tiffany is just a smile on legs. She couldn't glow more. And Don just loves her for being that way. Put them together and get ready to shoot! We had so much fun! I very much look forward to seeing them again at their wedding.

Texas State Celebrity Classic

For the past three years I have had the good fortune to be invited to this event as a celeb playing in their golf/tennis tournament. The event is to raise scholarship money for the Texas State University students' scholarships. It's a great cause and the people at the university couldn't be nicer! Actually, everyone that I met in the state of Texas was terrific. It is a pleasure and honor to participate in the event. It is also a pleasure to hang with many actors and sports celebs and call them peers. After a long day of events to help the charity, you can't imagine how much fun it is to play poker into the wee hours with Glen , Richard, Thomas, Earl, Steve, and the gang.

Here are just a few of the pics that I took during the golf tourney on Monday. I played tennis on Sunday and just watched on Monday. Thanks Texas State! I wish you success in every way you wish it! I'm proud to be an honorary Bobcat.

Eugene Lee and Charles Blackwell

These are two of the masterminds behind the event, along with Dr. Mike Willoughby (not shown). And, of course, there are hundreds of others who help them. Tori Plunkett, the Texas State Ladies tennis coach, headed the tennis activities. What a great job she did!

Earl Billings

Do you think this guy will bluff in poker? That would be a, "yes."

Richard Gant

Richard will be playing Andre Braugher's father in the new Ray Romano show for Lifetime.

Leslie Easterbrook

Still beautiful!! And a really good golfer. What a smile! I think we could use at least one more Police Academy movie.

Charlie Pride

Looks like Charlie is in the middle of a tall tale. He's a legend.

Thomas Calabro

Yes ladies, Dr. Mancini will be on the new Melrose Place. Thomas is also a great guy.

Richard Karns

Always ready with that smile, this was Richard's first year. I sure hope that he'll be back.

Bubba Gilliam

There is only one Bubba Gilliam! "This stuff's made in New York City!" You know it! Just don't have beans around the campfire with this guy. Who remembers that scene from Blazing Saddles?

Malibu Engagement Shoot


A couple of weeks ago I went on an engagement shoot with my buddy, Trent Buckle of ProImage Photography, http://www.proimageweddings.com/. Trent is the go to guy, if you ask me. Not only is he a great photographer, but his clients love him for the time and expertise he gives to their occasion. He serves all of L.A, and even destination weddings like those up in the San Luis Obispo area. Enough about Trent, let's talk about the terrific couple that we were shooting, Rhonda and Joel. Trent is shooting their wedding up in San Luis but found these great locations in Malibu for their engagement shoot. They were game and ready to face the elements. As you'll see in the pictures, it got pretty cold for us mere mortals, but the couple was tougher than either Trent or myself. I guess Love will keep you warm. In a couple of pics you'll see Trent talking to and directing the couple (one in very warm clothes). It's extremely important, not only for your photographer to have his camera skills, but to be able to communicate with the couples. I believe that to be a strength of mine as well, it's just hard to shoot myself. Rhonda and Joel were so much fun!
