Jennifer and Mario - Las Vegas Engagement Photography

How cool is this couple! I was scheduled to photograph Jennifer and Mario for their engagement session in Chino Hills, just outside Los Angeles, this past Monday....until I received a phone call from the couple the day before shooting. "There's been a change of plans, we were thinking Las Vegas for photos!" Well, twist my arm.

So we were off to Vegas and had an amazing time finding photos along the strip. I can't wait for the wedding in June! It's still in Newport Beach, right guys? :)









This was a dangerous shot....



....because I was nearly upended by this guy. At least he thought it was funny :)



Totally worth the danger involved, don't you think? I would sacrifice my body anytime to get a photo like this out of it....



I think they're running to the wedding chapel....NOT YET!!



This photo makes me smile :)



What's a photo session in Vegas without losing a little money at the slots?







Nothing beats the Bellagio fountains in the evening....





Thanks for the adventure guys, can't wait for the wedding!

Rhea's First Birthday....Beverly Hills Style

This past weekend I had the great pleasure to photograph a very special first birthday bash for Rhea. Although, this was not your typical first birthday celebration, it was a PARTY!! Rhea will most likely not remember any part of that night, but at least she'll have the photos to look back on when she's older and will realize how lucky she was to have amazing parents that really know how to celebrate the one year anniversary of their first child.

The celebration was held at Chakra in Beverly Hills, and they couldn't have picked a better venue. Very cool atmosphere....





Here's the star of the day, Rhea....



My favorite....











She was far more interested in the balloons on the ceiling than the dancing. Hey, it's her party, she can do what she wants!



Uh oh, it's the paparazzi....it's not every day you get the famous Garrett Davis to photograph your event. I'm getting used to this Hollywood lifestyle :)



Mom and dad share a quiet moment on the dance floor....



I can't believe she's still awake! This girl knows how to party....

Last photos from Honolulu

I promise....well, maybe. I might find a few more gems from the thousands of photographs I took while in Hawaii, but for now, this is my last post from my shoot in Honolulu. These were taken at The Willows Restaurant in Honolulu, hope you enjoy them....

More from Hawaii

I've been getting a bunch of emails wanting to see more scenic photos from Hawaii. Well, my fans always get what they want, so here ya go!

Here's Makapu'u, on the southeastern coast of Oahu....

Always have a designated driver when photographing amazing scenery....



Is it just me, or does it look like there's a dead body in the back of this truck. Don't worry, I checked, no need to call the cops....



Yup, that's me holding a surfboard for the very first time. Thanks to Mike Torres for snapping a few pics....



Someone should have told me you need to wait for a wave in order to stay on the surfboard....



And I'm spent....
