July 20, 2010 Aileen + Phillip :: Old Town Pasadena

I met up with Aileen and Phil for the first time in Old Town Pasadena and we hit it off instantly. For the next couple of hours after we spent getting to know each others and walking all over town to find some good light and compositions. In the end, we became really good friends and I got some nice photos out of it :) Aileen and Phil, it was my pleasure spending time with you guys and I am looking forward to your wedding day.

July 8, 2010 Sandy + Mieng :: Costa Mesa

Being at Sandy and Mieng's wedding was like being at a party with great friends. Through the course of planning their wedding, we got a chance to really get to know each others. Sandy is sweet and kind where as Mieng is genuine, caring and funny. I can definitely see how these two are an inseparable pair. It was also awesome that I had a chance to work with coordinator Charlene Chan from Picture Perfect Event, who is a dear friend of mine. She is responsible for all the amazing details of the day. All and all, our team had a fabulous day and to top it off we all had filet Mignon for dinner :D

Nancy and Kevin are among two of the sweetest and gentle people that I have ever met. Their ridiculously good looks and killa sense of style really made my job so much easier. We hit it off famously as we were rolling through the city of Los Angeles. Afterward, we even went to get some ramen noodle in Little Tokyo together. Thank you for an amazing day guys.

June 7, 2010 Kristina + Jason :: Pasadena

Kristina and Jason's wedding was nothing short of amazing. Having shot their engagement session, I knew that these two would make gorgeous bride and groom. You can tell that they have been waiting and planning for this day to come because of all the spectacular details. What is also apparent is their love and care for one another. Thank you for trusting us to capture your precious memories. I like to thanks my second photographer Conrad Lim and assistant Sonny Dang for an incredible job. And also my talented friend and photographer Mr. Ed Atrero for making a special appearance.

Marlisys and Kevin are two of the most gentle and kind people that I have ever had the privilege to come across. I really had a blast getting to know and hanging out with them.

June 2, 2010 Lindsay + Lawrence :: Rolling Hills Estates

Lindsay is a sweet, funny, and sexy girl from Southern California. While Lawrence who is a very charming, funny and tough guy from Brooklyn. Together they are just like a ball of love energy. It was such a pleasure for our crew to be around them, their family and friends all day. They had a beautiful ceremony at the Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes and a festive reception at Lindsey's parents backyard in Rolling Hills Estates. All and all, everything worked out perfectly. I would like to thanks my friend/second photographer Conrad Lim and my other friend/assistant Ari Simphoukham for doing an kicked ass job.

May 4, 2010 Hope + Mike :: Irvine Engagement

Hope and Mike are so sweet and so much fun to hang out with. They have such great attitude. Being around them, I find myself constantly laughing and goofing around all afternoon. We started the session at some random hill with little yellow flowers and ended at the University of Irvine. The reason is because the university held so many special memories for them. It was also here that they met for the first time while attending school. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

April 26, 2010 Bandol + Ray :: LA Love Story

Bandol and Ray are the kind of people that are smart, fun, and very imaginative. When they approached me with their ideas for a semi theme engagement session at our very first meeting, admittedly I was very excited. I knew that it would be interesting and we would have a blast trying to pull it off. After doing some research, we found a couple of locations with great potential in Los Angeles. And you know how much I love discovering new places to shoot in LA. At the first location, we started the session with some moody, cool and sexy poses because it was calling for it. Then as for the second part, we wanted to show more of their fun, lovable and quirky side by introducing a completely different theme. Hint! hint! It's a tribute to a certain era ;)

Yo! Yo! It's Bandol and Ray in da house!

April 13, 2010 Laura + Lance :: Calamigos Ranch

There is a saying that if it rains on your wedding day, it's suppose to bring good luck. Laura and Lance must have subscribed to this belief because they didn't seem to be bothered at all. In fact, during the reception Laura even mentioned that it made their wedding day even more memorable because it reminded her of the first time they met. It also rained that day. How about that for a positive attitude. All in all, the rain did provide us with some challenges and opportunities to think/shoot outside of the box. In the end, I think we came away with some very unique images. Our crew (Conrad as second and Sonny as assistant) had such a blast at this wedding and we wish nothing less than the best for these love birds.

It was time for their first look. My first time ever shooting it in the rain. It was so romantic to say the least.

December 24, 2009 Josie + Lloyd Wedding :: Calamigos Ranch :: Malibu, CA

When I shot Josie and Lloyd's e-session back in December of 2008, I got a little taste of how animated and dynamic they are as a couple. Is was then that I knew their wedding day wouldn't be anything less than spectacular. And they did prove me right. Spending the whole day with Josie and Lloyd was like riding on a roller coaster. To top it off, they are surrounded by one of the most genuinely loving families and circle of friends. Their ceremony was a very emotional one and their vows were so incredibly moving. All in all, it was one helluva day. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my talented second photographer Conrad Lim and assistant Sonny D for making these images possible.

December 1, 2009 What is up!

Hey guys! I just want to pop up and say thank you to all the peeps that have been checking, reading, and continually supporting this blog. It has been a very busy wedding season that has just passed and I have too many images to share. And that I am working as fast as I can to get them out to my awesome clients. In the next few weeks, I will try to post random favorites images from weddings and engagement sessions that had been accumulating within the last couple of months. Once again, thank you for your patience and please come back soon ;) Here are a few from Cassie and Robert's beautiful Long Beach wedding.

November 9, 2009 Kristina + Jason :: Venice Beach Engagement

I get to spend an afternoon down in Venice beach with Jason and Kristina. We had ice cream and lemonade while strolling on the boardwalk looking for the "good" light. I always love the vibe here at Venice and it proves to be another colorful setting for an engagement session. Got to admit...it's a tough job but someone has to do it. Kristina and Jason...thank you for being a couple of sweethearts.

October 28, 2009 Julie + Casey :: The Ahwahnee Hotel :: Yosemite

Julie and Casey had their wedding at the magnificent Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. This has been one of my most favorite destination weddings of 2009. This is my third trip to Yosemite and I have to say that it never gets old. Julie and Casey is an amazingly sweet and kindhearted couple. They had a heartfelt wedding ceremony witnessed by a small group of loving family and friends. At the reception, there were an abundance of great company, food, wine, and music to rock the place down. Everything worked out perfectly and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Also love the fact that I get to hang out with my talented photographer friend Maurice Martinez from Northern California.
