April 9th, 2012: It seems like in a blink of an eye, we’re already in April, and for Felicia and I, that means we are on the cusp of wedding season, where we will plunge into week after week of non-stop shooting & editing. In the past couple of weeks, we’ve deliberately made some room [...]
April 3rd, 2012: Having met Jessica & Nathan at Jose & Hellen’s wedding, then shot a maternity session with them, Felicia and I were thrilled to finally be able to meet their little one – Noah Edward. We showed up to find a beautiful aviation-themed nursery, and thankfully, in between feeding and changing, Noah gave [...]
March 26th, 2012: We met Katie & Clay last year at Matt and Amber’s wedding, just a few weeks after Clay popped the question. We’ve been corresponding for a while now about their wedding photography, but when we finally met them again last week for engagement photos, their arrival was like a scene out of [...]
March 21st, 2012: Madalyn just turned 10, yeah like an entire decade. I’m surprised too… In our ongoing tradition of not giving gifts and instead taking our nieces on an adventure for their birthdays, Madalyn got out of school early and headed down to Santa Monica with us to check out one of the latest [...]
March 14th, 2012: Bright and early last Saturday, Felicia and I met with Kate & David at Griffith Observatory for their engagement shoot. We thought we were pretty smart for starting “early”, but we were surprised to find the parking lot almost completely full already at 8am on a Saturday morning, with scores of people [...]
March 13th, 2012: The most recent loan from Canon Professional Services was the 400mm f/4 DO IS, definitely not a lens I would bring along to a wedding or engagement shoot – but it’s spectacular if you have the back seat of a car to store it in on a road trip and want to [...]
March 9th, 2012: As you might be able to tell from the last few posts, Felicia and I are right smack in the middle of engagement photos season – It’s like pre-season for the upcoming summer packed full of weddings. This past Sunday we met Alex and Amy in Santa Barbara (one of Felicia’s favorite [...]
March 8th, 2012: Paty & Orlando are seriously a couple after our own hearts: They have an intimate, travel-themed wedding planned, complete with passport/boarding pass invites, much like ours. They even showed up to their Union Station in coordinated red-and-black outfits: our wedding colors. I guess stranger coincidences have happened? We had a wonderful time [...]
March 5th, 2012: At 7 in the morning last Saturday we headed to LAX to drop off Felicia’s mom for her flight back to Singapore, and by that afternoon we were back in full working photographer mode. We met Jamie and Jesse at the Stagecoach Inn in Newbury Park, and were amazed by this hidden [...]
March 1st 2012: For the home stretch of our week on the road we headed over to San Francisco, or what some of the older Chinese call Jiu Jin Shan (Old Gold Mountain). It’s called Jiu Jin Shan because it was given that name by the Chinese who arrived during the gold rush searching for their [...]
