Ojai, CA - We do love being honorary Persians! Haleh + Ramin was super upbeat and they are just fueling each other’s positive energy. They are friends of our previous clients and it was awesome meeting everyone again. The gorgeous Casa Elar of Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is the location of the wedding and it was just amazing. Filled with their closest family and friends, the wedding was a blast! Such a blast that security had to come to quiet things down a bit towards the end. Which the party did, only until the security left :)

Once again…you guys have raised the bar. I want to grow up and be like Ray and Erwin. Oh wait a minute! I am already grown :)
stunning erwin and ray. always blowing me away.
Killer. I love the way you bridge the gap between art and photojournalism.
Love how you both capture emotion and action in every shot. Great captures!!!
That last b&w shot is quite powerful and deep! You guys are simply amazing!

Pasadena, CA - Jessica + Wilson were all smiles from the get go. They’re so amazingly happy together that it made us feel warm and fuzzy too. The wedding took place at the Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa, Pasadena but we roamed around town to do their portraits before the beautiful ceremony. An awesome 12-piece band entertained the guests (and us!) during the reception and Ben & Jerry’s were served at the end of the night.

Wow such a beautiful wedding. The bride is tooo cute! And that ring shot is the BEST!

It’s so bittersweet that the wedding is all over but having these pictures that we will have forever makes it so nice to look back on…. Thank you Ray and Erwin for everything - I truly couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture our day and be so fun and easy to work with. Rick and I felt so fortunate to have you there……

Los Angeles, CA: I had known Stephen from church and met Dian when she came over to LA a couple of times. These guys are such cool people - I was flattered and excited about taking their pictures. We had so much fun getting kicked out of the Grand Central Market, the LA Financial District, but managed to shoot at The Historic Bradbury Building and Pershing Square. Fun times indeed! Congrats Dian + Stephen!



Did I mention that I really like incorporating the environment during portrait sessions? Well, here are some of them! :)



Seriously beautiful images! I’m a new — but permanent — blog stalker of yours, by the way. I love your work!
Erwin you are amazing.
i love the use of ‘extras’ in some of the shots! did they pose themselves, or did you have to grease their palms a little to stand in the right spot? very creative.
erwin! you’re my idol! your composition is awesome!
Oh wow these are more than incredible!! WOW!!!!! :)
The shot with the wall mural as the back drop is awesome! The one of the couple looking at the artwork is hilarious…I love it :D!
