Mark runs the BJ’s pizza on the Balboa Peninsula so we decided to cruise around the Fun Zone with Deana and snap a few pics.

Sara and Tarek did not come with a towel, it was in the 50’s outside… Did they leave wet or dry?

Here is a hint….

Did you doubt me ?

Engagement Photos for John and Melanie at the Mission

Eric Cotter — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:21:02 +0000

This past Sunday John, Melanie, and I had a great time at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. I always feel that
I’m in a different country when I shoot here as the Mission has so much character and history. To that point i must say that the Mission has to be a tie for my most favored location (along with the beach).

Wedding photos of Toby and Shea at Rancho Las Palmas Resort

Last Saturday was the day for Toby and Shea to tie the knot. This was my first time at the Rancho Las Palmas resort in Palm Desert and I was definitely impressed, I’ve yet to find a bad resort in the desert but i must admit I’d rather not one when it is 190 degrees ;). Shea and Toby were so great, Toby pulled a ME and balled like a baby when he saw Shea for the first time. I love those moments, they always get me thinking back to my wedding when is was a wreck seeing Heather. All in all we had a good day, great people, perfect location and some delicious lighting to give the memories a great touch… her are some photos from the event.

Wedding Photos for Doug and Laura in Maui HI

Eric Cotter — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:02:25 +0000

I had the pleasure to travel out to Maui this week to photograph Doug and Laura’s private wedding at the Four Seasons Maui and (as Doug calls it, “the secret beach”. I will be shooting them again in a few weeks at the Surf and Sand for their formal party which made this a treat to be the only one at their official wedding. I actually had
the opportunity to be the official witness on their marriage certificate.

Maui Fun with the Cotters

Eric Cotter — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:07:42 +0000

Heather and I just flew in from Maui where we went to photograph Doug and Laura’s wedding at the Maui Four Seasons in Wailea . The reason I am posting this as soon as I arrived, is that I challenged myself to stay “offline” for the entire trip. I did this last time we were in Hawaii and I really felt it was key to me relaxing and spending quality family time. I am proud to say that I was a good boy once again and refrained from being an internet ie Maui (ok so i did sneak a few emails from the Treo, but that doesn’t count)

The funny thing is that we ended up right next to Jim on our way out as he was headed to London (computer geeks Unite!)

Us on the Plane

In front of the pool

Isn’t the water amazing?

Im sooooo a NINJA!!!

We missed our girls so we wrote them a message

Heather Laying out on the beach

My favorite photo of the trip. This is us on the Kai Kanani boat out to Molikine to snorkel (best boat trip ever!!)

It was crazy I was swimming 5 feet from about 6 turtles!!

Another one of my faves with my hottie wife

I could not believe the water. This was actually someone’s private backyard beach!!

I ran Heather ragged

I had a chance to take a few pics of my beautiful wife so i can have a new one on my desk.
(Isn’t she so beautiful!?)

Here we went to a litle rain forest type place

And we’re OUT!! See YA!

More to come soon from Doug and Laura’s Maui wedding and also Toby and Shea’s sweet shindig in Palm Desert at the Rancho Las Palmas

Engagement photos for Jessica and Ryan in Carmel CA

Eric Cotter — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 03:38:39 +0000

I had the pleasure to drive up to beautiful Carmel California this weekend (or so called Carmel By the Sea i guess). Ryan, Jessica, and I had a great time. It was one of those days where it is overcast the whole day, and then it seems the clouds opened up for some great light. Even though the sun came out, it still felt about -40 below!!!! and on top of it being sooooooo cold, Jessica was a trooper and played in the water anyway. I have to admit that I was a little bummed at the temperature because I know they really would have got soaked in so-cal (I think i might lure them down for a 2nd shoot just to have fun). All in all it was a great trip and a pleaseure to be around Jessica and Ryan. I can tell they are a couple with great character and attention to detail. Listening to their plans for the wedding, I am positive their guests are going to have a BLAST!!!
