Celeb sighting!

Was just at R+D Diner in Santa Monica grabbing lunch with Wes and Eric.

Halfway through the meal I ran out to pump money in my meter. And when I came back I bumped right into a really hot-looking David Duchovny, waiting for a table.




Loves a good brunch sighting!

Spring Island Engagement

Jumping on my flight to LA!

But yesterday on our last afternoon on Spring Island, after we finished our marathon fashion shoot, I took Peter and Michelle out for a quick engagement session (since I'll be shooting their wedding in September)...and I took what I think is probably the most beautiful picture I have ever taken in my life.



I love these guys! I love Spring Island! (I do not love spiders and tickbites.)



OK see you in LA!

South Carolina!

So as I mentioned I'm down in South Carolina these next few days doing a shoot for my friend Peter's company Smathers & Branson.

I'm shooting Peter's wedding in September, so it was fun to get to do this project prior so that I could come hang out with him and his gorgeous halfie fiancee Michelle.



Peter founded Smathers & Branson back in 2004 with his bff Austin. And as you may notice from their website, they're in dire need of a makeover.

So we came down to Spring Island, a private island where his family has a home, complete with golf, fishing, boating, and even hunting. Flew in some models. And are having a fun little shoot.

This is my first official "fashion" shoot so it's kind of scary and fun at the same time.

I often forget this when I'm shooting my "regular" actor clients...but professional models make everything SO much easier!



Although sometimes they fire guns near you and that is scary.



More on this soon.

I'm wiped out from a long day of shooting!

How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

So last week I had I did headshots for Charlie, who you may or may not remember his appearance in Broadway Bares last summer.




Charlie is currently starring alongside Daniel Radcliffe (AKA Harry Potter duh) in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying so he was able to hook me up with tickets for tonight.



And not just any tickets...



Grrrrrrreeaaatttt tickets. Orchestra E. Normally $320 a seat. For a fraction of the price.



The show also starred John Larroquette.



But the crowd went NUTSO for Daniel. At points they had to wait for applause to die down after certain numbers before they could continue on.



And though the show started a little iffy with some not-so-amazing songs, in the end it had won everyone over. I loved it.

It's like Mad Men. But funny. And with singing and dancing.

None of the songs are all that memorable, but the dancing and acting and performing is top notch.

The dancing especially.




I have new respect for Daniel Radcliffe, who not only spoke with an impeccable American accent throughout the whole show, but was able to sing and dance amazingly as well.

I just might give the Harry Potter films another shot. (Still can't see the appeal.)



After the show, fans waited by the stage door for autographs.



There were hundreds and hundreds of people.



All waiting to catch a glimpse of Daniel before he jumped in his car and sped away with his security team.




He emerged and the crowd went nuts.





Charlie put us on the guest list at the stage door so we were able to go beat the throngs of crazy Harry fans...




...and got to go backstage to check out the set.





Yay!



Interesting insider fact: You may have heard that Daniel is taking a break from the show this summer to promote the last Harry Potter film. But in order to do that, Warner Brothers had to buy out EVERY SINGLE SEAT in the theater for each day they would be taking him away from the production since it wasn't in his play contract that he'd be taking any breaks from the show. (He's under contract through January I believe). That's alotta munny.

Anyway. Yes. Amazingly entertaining show. The finale itself is worth the ticket fee. Definitely should check it out if you get a chance.

You can visit Charlie's website at: www.iamcharliewilliams.com

He's an incredibly talented dancer.

And you can get a taste of the show by viewing the trailer for How to Succeed below:



Oooh and look, I found the poster from last year's Broadway Bares with Charlie front and center.

Sad that Euguela's wedding is the weekend of Broadway Bares this year so I'll miss it!
