One Great Album Maker

We love what we do here at CLP. There's no other business out there that can actually be a part of the beginning of a legacy. That's how we see it. A couples journey begins with their union and it's pretty remarkable what can happen. Imagine, we could have photographed the parents of the future President of the United States! It all starts somewhere, right?

We here at CLP feel privileged to be part of this beginning. Of course these special days can't be made without partners like West Coast Albums who have been great partners in helping us put our design creations into what we call a legacy book.

Just wanted to shout out a big THANK YOU to Jack and everyone else at West Coast for your great quality and service!

Jessica & Michael

Nestled somewhere in Fallbrook is The Grand Tradition Estate. It's a cool small estate, around 30 acres, that's breathtaking. This gorgeous venue will soon be part of Jessica's and Michael's life in that it will host their upcoming wedding.

Prior to that, however, Jessica and Michael to test the grounds by arranging for their engagement shoot to be in a section unique from the part of the property they will be on come wedding day.

Importance Of Creativity...Or Maybe Not

One thing about weddings is that many times you get treated to awe inspiring places. It's never the same! One day you're shooting in an old rustic mansion and then the other you're on the sands in Maui. We've been fortunate to shoot at many venues. Each venue has its own unique flavor. Every now and then we're able to come up with some real cool scenes to shoot. Not necessarily creative but coooool!

This was the case at The Grand Wailea in Maui. Above is an image of the pews inside the chapel on the grounds at the Grand Wailea. The light was beaming through the stained glass windows at the right time of day and hit the pews beautifully in turn creating this opportunity. It was crazy! the colors that the stained glass put out was amazing. 5 minutes later the scene was gone though. We wondered where the beauty went then realized the rain clouds took the opportunity away.

So was this a creative opportunity? Many of our clients yearn for creativity and albeit creativity is a must in today's wedding world, it's not always needed. Being able to spot situations when they come up is just as valuable. Many times our clients see this image and have an OMG moment and say, "Wow how creative!" We shrug our shoulders and with a wry smile say back, "Right place, right time?"

We have a 60x40 canvas print hanging in our offices and it's pretty amazing to see all the colors in such a big print.

The ability to "See" the moment in this case was a much more valuable skill to have rather than being creative with the scene.

Jane and Ludwig

Jane and Ludwig tied the knot and we were fortunate to be there. We heard form our photographers that they really enjoyed their shoots for December. Mainly because it was a cool month for the most void of the clammy and unpredictable hot weather we have been shooting in. For some reason or another, we tend to remember the bad weather and not the good.

Getting back to Jane and Ludwig. We are changing things around just a bit. Or should I say that we are adding new features to our services. Take a look at their website, click here.

Sarah & Jordan

You know you're doing ok when a catering director of a respected hotel brand books your services. This was the case with Sarah. We met her as we were making our rounds visiting clients in the area. She liked our work and the people in our organization. As a result we photographed hers and Jordan's wedding at The Hacienda.



The couple were fun to photograph. They were interested in having fun and that made our jobs that much easier.

Thank you very much for your vote of confidence. We'll see you very soon.

Enjoy their show.

Heather & Charles

Heather and Charles came to us as a referral from their good friends Kelly and Eddie whose wedding we photographed as well.

Heather and Charles were married at Serendipity Gardens, a hidden gem locked up against the mountainside of Beaumont, CA.

The entire day was relaxed and calm and both the bride and groom didn't show any signs of jitters. They were cool and collected.



The images here tell the story of their beautiful day. We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed photographing it.

Missy & Andy

It was a pleasure photographing Missy and Andy's wedding at Temecula Creek Inn. We photographed Missy's brothers wedding not too long ago view here. The Stonehouse at Temecula Creek is a beautiful location to have a wedding. Great locations help certainly but in the end we're only as good as the people we are photographing.

Missy and Andy did a wonderful job at planning and gave us enough time to allow us to capture the beauty of their day. Unfortunately, at many events we shoot, we're unable to to maximize the photo opportunities due to time constraints. That certainly wasn't the case with Missy and Andy.



Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be a part of your wedding. It was beautiful.
