2008-11-18T19:42:00.000-08:00

Today I had the privilege of shooting Peter Merry! I have done a couple wedding's with Peter and have to say that he is by far the best D.J or M.C in the industry!

You better be Voting today!

2008-11-03T19:29:00.000-08:00

Our Bulldog Georgia is very fierce and wanted to remind everyone to get out and let their opinion be heard. It is our constitutional right to vote and speak our minds in a civil way and not to do so is immoral and un-american. As Georgia's shirt says, "don't forget to vote", please listen and cast your american right tomorrow at the poles. May the better man win!Goergia

Marcie and Stuart in Newport Beach!

2008-11-03T15:13:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had the privilege to shoot Marcie and Stuart's wedding in Newport Beach. Now, this was extra special because I have know Marcie since I was about 15. Marcie has never been happier, at least since I have known her, not that she wasn't happy but now she glows. I was really good friends with her daughter in High School and it was great seeing Ali and all of our friends. Stuart is a

2008-10-29T15:20:00.000-07:00

Last evening I went with my buddy Daniel Chin to shoot an event in Hollywood. The event was to create buzz for people to get out and get their vote on. It was a much different event than I am used to shooting. I have to say that I did not know many of the stars that were there but did meet a few really cool people. I want to thank Daniel for bringing me along a letting me shoot.One last thing

I am so sorry that I haven't posted in so long I have been really sick! This last Saturday I had the amazing pleasure to shoot Karissa and Mike's wedding. These two are so in love it is sick, you know in a good way. Karissa and Mike both were so sold on my style and really wanted me to push the envelope in my own photography. We shot their portraits down in Santa Ana just before dark and even

Kelly and Cameron's Wedding Album!

2008-09-25T09:53:00.000-07:00

I just finished Kelly and Cameron's wedding album and thought I would share it with everyone. This is a 11x14 with 70 images. I keep my design simple and clean to tell the story of the day and not to just put your wedding pictures in an album. I believe in my designs and feel very strongly about not changing the album. I allow clients to make a one time change to their album, swap out images

Breann & Jeray @ Cannon's in Dana Point!

2008-09-23T16:04:00.000-07:00

Ok, as promised Sunday's wedding is posted! I had the privilege to shoot Breann and Jeray's wedding this past Sunday!

I found out during the speeches that they grew up together and been friends and practically family

Today I shot our pastors kid J.D! I usually don't shoot family pics but when they gave me the green light to do what I wanted I went with it. We shot at the anti-mall in Costa Mesa which was so much fun and had so many great locations to shoot! I had such a blast shooting and then we went out to dinner, it is hard to have a better monday! I promise that Sunday's wedding will up tomorrow!What

2008-09-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

Seems like I got my first blog hack, sorry about that! Yesterday I shot Andy and Karen's E-session in Corona Del Mar. These two are such a cute couple and were so easy to work with.

Thank you Karen and Andy!

Cary and Clint's Wedding Album!

2008-09-15T13:45:00.000-07:00

I just finished Cary and Clint's album and wanted to share it with you all! This is a 11x14 shown as full page spreads. I love doing pre-design because I get to tell the story with the pictures that I think best do that. It is often so hard for couples to choose 50-75 images out of 800 for their album so I take that hard work out of it for them. You can view the album here.Cary and Clint

Some Leica Shots!

2008-09-12T12:41:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to post these for some time. These are all shots from my Leica with a 50mm 1.4 and shot on Ilford b/w 3200 film. I love the real grain and the lost in time feel to all these images. I love Leica!

Rock Crawling in Utah!

2008-09-03T09:24:00.000-07:00

On Thursday I left with my buddy Kris for Utah to do a little off road adventure! This is the second year that I have been on this trip and it gets better every year. It is amazing to me what these trucks can go over and through. It takes us about three days to cover 6o miles because the whole time we are in 4 wheel low in mostly second gear. This year I got so stoked because we had a great

Georgia at the Beach!

JNP Studios Signing Albums!

2008-08-26T11:55:00.000-07:00

Couples are always asking me about cool ways to do the traditional signing photo and my response is "do a signing album instead". My wife and I did a large photo matted for everyone to sign at our wedding which was cool but we never really wanted it hanging in our house, it just looked weird with all those signatures. I love the signing albums because it is something where you can display all

Georgia, our newest family member!

2008-08-22T11:03:00.000-07:00

As you can imagine I have been very excited to post these pics. This is the newest addition to the Lawler family, her name is Georgia. She is a six month new, Olde English Bull Dog that we got from a great guy that loved her but could no longer take care of her. My wife and I had been looking for quite some time for an Olde English puppy but they are way too expensive so when we found Georgia

They hired a band and these amazing dancers who put on an unforgettable show!

2008-08-07T19:36:00.000-07:00

The day after Cary and Clint's wedding I had a personal shoot with Sara who is a wedding planner that I met earlier this year at a wedding we did together. We shot in L.A and had a blast.

These are

This last Tuesday I went up to Malibu to shoot Cary and Clint's beautiful wedding on the bluffs over looking the water! Now many of you might be asking why Tuesday! This was the exact anniversary of Clint's proposal, so this date was very important to them. Cary being an actress loved being in front of the camera and Clint is one of the nicest guys I have met. I thought it was so sweet how

Well, yes this is the same Josh and Kati from MN but this last Sat. they had a reception here in CA. Jo Ann Sanderson the grooms mom really knows how to throw a party.

Last Sunday I headed up to Long Beach for Ashley and Kyle's wedding. Kyle does sound for the Eagles and and went to OCHSA with Ashley who studied dance.

Tied-UP

2008-07-14T17:50:00.000-07:00

I have to post a little sneak peek of yesterdays wedding in Long Beach because I thought this was so funny. Kyle (the groom) was having a little trouble getting his tie the right length so I thought it would be a great moment to exploit him and make this great little movie about it. Thank you Kyle and Ashley for such a great day and Kyle for being good sport about this. The images will be up

Fotoworks Professional Imaging Rocks!

2008-07-11T07:16:00.000-07:00

Fotoworks has been my lab for about the past year and a half and they seriously rock it! I am posting this because I know there are some of you out there who are sick of dealing with slow inefficient labs that charge way to much and aren't fly with your work flow. Not only do they print on Fuji paper which has amazing range and true B/W but the service and speed is unmatched anywhere. I simply

John and Fung were both naturals and were very comfortable in

Inspiring pieces of art!

2008-07-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

Inspiration at its best. I have to say that the things that inspire me the most are artists who unashamedly go after a vision that they have, to convey a message that is deeply meaningful to them. Matt, way to go, you have inspired me profoundly and deeply. I am so moved watching this piece find so much joy in hearing Matt's message. This world is so touchable and so unique at the same time.

Emma & Randall @ The Orange Circle

2008-06-30T20:31:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I shot Emma and Randall's E-session in Orange. I have to say that Emma is such an inspiring girl and their whole story is amazing at the least. Emma is 7 months clear of cancer and that is by the grace of God. Not only is she free of cancer but this girl is such an amazing inspiration on persevering. I am just blessed to know this couple and the love they have for one another.

Well, I have been in Minneapolis for the week and have had such an amazing time and will have a few more Blogs showing you all the fun stuff going on.

Karen & Milosh @ Rancho Bernardo Inn San Diego

2008-06-24T06:57:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I was down in San Diego to shoot Karen and Milosh's wedding. At 10:00 in the morning it was already about 100 degrees and cooking. This ceremony was very exciting to shoot because I have never shot a Serbian ceremony before and I always love to see how other cultures carry out wedding vows. At one point during the ceremony they actually tied their hands together which I thought

I wanted to post a tasty TRA 2 recipe!

2008-06-17T16:10:00.000-07:00

Ok, well I have been waiting while my computer processes a wedding that I am uploading so I decided to kill a little time playing with the Revenge.

Yesterday I shot Ashley and Kyle's engagement session in Huntington Beach. These two are so cute and win the award for the most last minute booking. I got a call from Kyle a few weeks ago and they booked me to shoot the wedding last week. That is cutting it close even though they are getting married on a sunday. We went down to Huntington because they live down there and I have never shot in

A little TRA 2 with that please!

2008-06-13T23:58:00.000-07:00

So, today I picked up a little TRA2 and spent the evening playing with them. I have to say that this is an action set for photographers made by a photographer. There is so much more control in TRA2 than the first set and they are designed to let everyone make there own style out of the actions. I am so pleased and am looking forward to playing a lot more. They even have textures (even thought

Aperture 2 with Martin from Apple!

2008-05-25T16:52:00.000-07:00

I have to thank Mike Colon for getting us all together to see the features of Aperture 2. I have to admit that I loved Aperture when it first came out but I soon began to hate it. It was way too slow and very counter intuitive. The new version has made many improvements. I am actually very excited to get the newer Aperture and make it a part of my work flow. The speed and agility is amazing

2008-03-14T17:13:00.001-07:00

I am never one to write a ton on my blog, mostly because it is hard enough to you to read a little, and partly because I will find myself boring. This is going to be different. I have been in vegas at the Anti-Workshop with the Boutwell's and Altf and I see a need to bore you all with what this week did for me as a photographer and more importantly an artist.
