I recently shot the grand opening party for Burlap, an asian-western style restaurant started by the Brennan brothers – along with well known chef Brian Malarkey.
The night kicked off with a bang – Brian is well known for being the life of the party – he paraded through the restaurant with Chinese dragon heads in ‘suit, along with a full-on asian tribal band beating on drums and symbols.
This new addition to Del Mar is the north county fix that downtown-ers might feel like resembles Searsucker.
Here are some favorites from the event:

I don’t usually post photos of celebrities, but I got to chat with these two for a few minutes & they turned out to be really cool. I’ve seen them at a few of the philanthropic events I’ve taken photos at, and they’ve always been super friendly and outgoing. Kiptyn Locke and Tenley Molzahn from the bachelor/bachelorette series on TV.
