Tomorrow morning something very near and dear to me begins.

Every since I was a kid, I have dreamed of one day going to Alaska and heli-boarding on the glaciers. I'd watch the snowboard pros in the movies and say to myself: "that would be the coolest thing one could ever do."

Well, I've worked hard and saved my pennies. It's time to kick this one off the ol' bucket list. My dream becomes a reality starting tomorrow morning.

I depart John Wayne airport at 8am and begin my journey to VALDEZ, ALASKA where I'll be for the next week exploring the glaciers with a snowboard strapped to my feet with THIS company. I CANNOT WAIT. For me, this really is a dream come true.

Supposedly the lodge I'm staying at has WiFi, so check back for daily updates and photos.

Dude, this is on my list too. I should have started saving my pennies so I could have filmed you gliding down that oh so sweet mountain. Have fun, can't wait to see some pics, and if you see an avalanche... turn.

Dave and Megan. Wow.

Even Chuck Norris himself couldn't roundhouse kick his way into your realms of radness.

Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for inviting me to the most important day of your life.

Erin - the getting ready shots and reception were at The Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. The ceremony was held at Buerge Chapel in Pacific Palisades just a few minutes away. It was such a rad day.

Great job! Holy ginormous balloons. And I just saw your tweet at the top. First, I think it's hilarious you called him a "douche" and posted that on your blog. Second, I LOVE the music on your website. I want to steal it and put it on mine just so I can listen to it. He must be a douche.

I've been a bad blogger the past few weeks. My apologies folks. But do not distress, I'm back and running. Lots of goodies coming this week. I'll start with a few frames of Troy and Jen. They are rad. Enjoy.

ojai is for lovers

Ever been to Ojai? You should go. It's pretty rad. Luckily I have some rad clients who introduced me to Ojai. Here's a few from their eSession that I really liked. Stoked for the wedding there in May.

If it wasn't weird to have a picture up of Dave's coworker in our home, then I would seriously frame the last picture and put it in my living room. These are so fresh and beautiful!
