I got the LaCie Lightscribe disc labeler for the Mac! It didn't work the first time I tried it though, but found the solution on the web: LaCie support
It's the only lightscribe burner that works for the Mac (that comes with the software) that I've found. So far it's working great!

Gladys & Mike's Wedding at Los Angeles Millennium Biltmore

Congratulations to Gladys and Mike! It was a gorgeous wedding in Los Angeles




Gladys and Mike's wedding ceremony at Saint Steven's Serbian Orthodox Cathedral stands to be one of the most breathtaking events I've photographed. Its architecture and lighting design is what impressed me the most. It's like everything was designed to photograph well in all angles!








They wanted to spend some intimate time together so I let them sort of wander around Downtown Los Angeles where we ended up at Bunker Hill Steps and across the street from the Library. It was fun just following Gladys and Mike around as they enjoyed every moment.
