Monique plays the trumpet

Colorado has a very special light and my camera loves it. This year is Monique’s senior photo year. She loves to sing, plays the trumpet and just met John Mayer, a perfect mix for a fun photo shoot.

Happy birthday Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport

When my friend Tom Harper, the Food Guy, asked me to document the decoration of a hangar for the 50th birthday celebration of the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to be a part of this two day project. Seven hundred guests, an ice sculpture bar and two planes were the stars of the decoration. It all started with a big, grey hangar at the airport in Broomfield/Colorado. What a transformation!
Within two days, the staff of the Food Guy and many other helpers turned this plain hangar into an elegant ballroom.

Jake’s Bar Mitzvah


After the Bar Mitzvah ceremony at the Temple Solel, Jake invited his family and friends to a long board Luau at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. What a colorful party this was! The view and the decorations were mind blowing. Every one had a blast.

Katie and Noah are getting married


When I arrived at St. Elizabeth Church on Katie’s and Noah’s wedding day, Katie’s father welcomed me with the story of his BMW he bought and picked up in Munich. I told him that I used to live only 15 minutes away from the BMW head quarter. That was my start. A start with a smile on my face and a lot of fun ahead of me. When the day ended the two families made feel that I was not just the wedding photographer who has done his job. I left them as a friend. Thank you Katie and Noah.
