There is no way we were not gonna post this wedding again! Raquel and Robert’s wedding was such a cute and yet fun wedding. Raquel looking so glamorous and her elegant wedding dress. Robert looking like a million bucks. These two just looked so good. Not only that…finest people ever! I mean they had so much love for each other you can totally tell with the way they would look at each other throughout the wedding. All though their blog got deleted with our website, I have feeling we will be posting it again in our website. In the meantime, this will have to do.

A look back at Viviana and Rick’s beautiful wedding in Downtown Los Angeles. Another awesome, loving and fun couple who surround themselves with people who are the same. These weddings become legendary in our eyes. 

Also, tacos make it legendary.

BLOG UPDATE: Yes it’s finally here! Claudia & Michael’s wedding is up on our blog and it’s fantastic! You can say that going to see this blog is the right..Choyce (because their last name is Choyce, you see what I did there. Don’t judge me I’m a dad.) We’ve been dying to make these blogs but we were so busy with our new site I wanted to make sure I had my 100% focus to tell the tale of these two lovebirds. Link in our story!

Darcia & Rick. A look back at one of my favorite engagement sessions with these two romantic lovebirds.

Preview from todays wedding of Ashah & Carleton. Congratulations to these lovebirds who knew each other since kindergarten. Can you believe how sweet is that?

Emily & Cesar: looking back at our second ever wedding at sea. It’s always an adventure doing these weddings and of course we love getting those little moments and creating artistic romantic portraits.

Remembering this beautiful engagement shoot of Daisy and John in Balboa Park. It was so romantic and the moody shadows highlighted that feel. I need more engagements. Know anyone who’s engaged? Tag them here.

ADEANN & VINCENT: oh this wedding! It was so much fun! These two and their parties were such a handful (in a good way). And their parties! I was surprised they didn’t bring the venue down.  Ok maybe it wasn’t that rowdy but they were arguably one of the most fun I’ve had in a wedding. These lovebirds are so entertaining and so loving. I will never forget these two.

Kathleen and Simon’s wedding! What an awesome wedding that was! We really enjoy going out and photographing weddings from other cultures. You learn a lot about how similar something’s are. For example, everyone enjoys a good dance song after a delicious dinner. This isn’t something new for us. We have experienced American, Mexican, Persian, Romanian, Filipino, African American, and all sorts of Asian weddings. We love them all. Weddings bring out the best in cultures and proves to us that God does love diversity.

Although I’m anxious to show the blog for Vanessa and Luis’s wedding. Their still many other blogs I need to showcase before I showcase this one. In the meantime, lets look back at their engagement session photographed in my favorite place in the world, <redacted>.

Another look back at Ileana and Jorge’s anniversary shoot that we did back in 2022. Photography becomes so easy when the two lovebirds are so romantic and still in love with each other.

Hey! Just popping up on your feed to show off a little sneak peek at yesterdays #coupleshoot with Gaby and Kevin. Let me tell you guys this shoot was not only so beautiful but encouraging. Not only was it a fun shoot, but walking along yesterdays beautiful sunset along the hike on the edge of this beautiful lake having uplifting spiritual conversation I felt like we had a really strong connection with my brother and sister. I only wish that afternoon could last a little longer but I guess I’m just gonna have to make a bbq sometime in the future and invite these two over. Yes, hanging with The Smiths was pretty cool (PS. Yes that was a pun to the band as well)

If I can be real for a moment. I love what I do. Since 2005, when I picked up my point and shoot canon camera, I enjoyed doing photography. I feel free when I’m behind it creating. To be outside in the wilderness, feeling the warmth of the sun, the cool breeze on my skin, to see the calmness of a orange fiery sunset as the tall grass waves as it to say goodbye today. To hear the clapping of small leaves of the trees around you. Or the thundering crash of waves. To give people the self confidence of their own being by showing them my perspective of how amazing they really are. To capture those little moments on their special day. To witness the beginning of two lovers joining together to travel through life. These things are the reasons why I love photography. It’s my therapy, my medication for my otherwise depressed mind. 

@instagram has been the drag in the process and it’s caused me to have mental breakdowns and anxiety attacks. No I’m not exaggerating. It used to be a simple tool of post a photo put some hashtags and you’re done. But now with their algorithms they are requiring to jump through hoops and honestly I’ve been wasting so much time trying to follow their algorithms for low return. We have so many followers, we have great reviews and our work is great according to the reviews. But we just don’t get it. With all of this, we can engage with you all with the exception of those who have booked us, we haven’t generated any leads and our sales are super low. I wish I knew what you guys were thinking. But, I gotta take a step back and hold on to my sanity. We’ve decided to no longer make Instagram our main source to generate leads. Instead, we are gonna focus on Google and spend less time here. I will still be posting but I am not gonna take away time from my God, my children, my wife and myself. We are still gonna give our shoutouts to our anniversary couples. In other words, you will still see us around, just not that much. I feel like the last scene from Shawshank Redemption. I’m free!!!!

Another look back session. This time I’m looking back at the passionate and romantic #coupleshoot session of Emelie & Jonathan. Every time a customer tell me they don’t mind getting wet, you bet I’m gonna take advantage of it. Fun shoot!

We got a new blog in our website! You can now go through the day of Nathan and Hazel’s wedding and see why this wedding was a little personal for me. We had  awesome locations to work with and we were surrounded by the coolest crown. Go to our story, click the link and check it out!

The blog of our first wedding of 2023  is now up on our website! Caitlyn and Joseph wedding! See the cute little rustic style wedding on our blog. The link is in our story.

I am revisiting this Swift wedding again. I feel like reels don’t really let you appreciate weddings as much carousels. Although we are still going to do reels for previews, I want to carousels to appreciate the moments and love of the newlyweds. The Swifts wedding was a great example of such goals. 

My wife and I, enjoyed every minute of their wedding. The love and happiness was at full display with them and their guests. This will be one of the memorable ones for us.

I was looking back at this #microwedding in #encinitas of Laura & Shane. I can’t believe we got to photograph such a awesome event. These two were so madly in love and so fun to be around them too. Weddings like these make you wish there was a rerun on weddings. But it’s a once in a lifetime event and all that is left are photographs of a time that was perfect as imperfect can be. That and the love that continues to grow between them.

Ok so doing reels are time consuming and requires a lot patience which is the reason why I have @yugenfilmss take care of our videography. I miss just posting a photo. Can we do that? Is that still allowed. No? Well I’ve never  been the type that follows the rules anyhow. Besides, I need to show you all this #weddingportrait I took of Daisy and John’s wedding in #iceland. Ok maybe it wasn’t in Iceland but I’m gonna say it was. I honestly can’t wait to show you all the upcoming blog from this incredible wedding. More to come!

I had posted this preview from Mary and Victor’s anniversary shoot at our @portraitsbyblackriderstudios feed by accident. So I’m reposting to it’s proper feed which is this one which is for lovebirds. It was a beautiful session. We had these two lovers surrounded by beautiful fresh snow in a deep majestic forest. It was just perfect. What kind of scenery is your dream shoot in? Is it forest, is it a valley? Or something else?

We said it and it’s here. The preview from Vanessa and Luis wedding is here! We took these two lovebirds to different areas of Fallbrook/Bonsall area to create these beautiful #weddingportraits.
