I'm so happy for these guys! Luis has been a great friend for a long time. I've had the pleasure of photographing this talented actor many times. I was thrilled to see him featured in a commercial just the other day.

Ritz Carlton - Pasadena

Peter Rua and Nathalie Tapanes
Saturday November 10th
2007

What a beautiful day to get married! In between days of fog and overcast, Peter and Nathalie managed to hit the perfect day. Just look at the majestic Ritz in Pasadena, it just doesn't get any better than this.






































Much of the credit must go to Katie and Brian from BobGail. They are true masters of their crafts and so easy to work with. I also noticed Cathy Cheng working over-time. She is the meetings and special events manager from the Ritz -Carlton making sure everything ran like it's supposed to at a hotel of this caliber. Thanks guys for making me look good!

Zen Todd is featured on VH1

Okay, in my last post I said I was through with acting. That's what makes what I have to say next so ironic. Today I was featured on the final episode of a new reality VH1 TV show called Viva Hollywood. This episode is where the winning actor is receiving his prize, a soap opera contract and a photo shoot with celebrity photographer Zen Todd (he,he that's me). The images are to be used on a Sunset Strip billboard ad to publicize the debut of Viva Hollywood. So this is where I came in. I had to interpret the producers vision and then make a good image - all while the cameras were rolling on me. It was a blast working with a film crew to light the set and improvising at the last second to get the job done. I love playing myself on TV.

So keep your eyes open for Viva Hollywood on the Sunset Strip and on VH1.

Zen Todd is on TV

A re-run of a TV show called Roswell is airing this Thursday the 8th at 2pm on the Scifi Channel. I had a re-occurring role as the foreboding Indian dude. If your easily entertained you can look over additional acting info at IMDB. Don't worry I'm no longer pursuing acting. I'm focused on photography and living the life of husband, father and photographer. It's a great life!!!

Morongo Casino and BobGail

Bob and Gail
Recommitment Ceremony
Thursday, Oct. 13th


Bob and Gail of BobGail Events recommitted themselves to each other at the revamped Morongo Casino. We were honored that they asked us to creatively document such an important personal moment in their lives. The theme was obviously 60-70's hip and of course they never cease to amaze us with their creativity. Bob and Gail are responsible for an amazing family business but more importantly - they have created an amazing tight nit family. I admire their
choices in life and as a result their warm and talented children. I hope to do half as well with my life. Thanks guys for the inspiration!

This is Bob and Gail now and a few years back. Looking good.

The details.









Mom is so cute!

Gail is a testament to Flower Power.

We love you guys!
