June 14th, 2011: Late last Thursday Felicia and I made our way to an exceptionally windy Santa Monica pier to shoot Andrea and John’s engagement session. John and Andrea had already scoped it out a few weeks back and came ready with an assortment of location ideas and clothing – ready for just about anything! [...]
June 6th, 2011: Ariel and Mike contacted us a few weeks back to talk about their backyard wedding next Memorial Day. We met them at their home and learnt that Mike had proposed during the Theodore Payne Garden Tour, complete with an engagement ring that he made himself. We totally agreed that such sentimental locations [...]
May 23rd, 2011: Jo and Red got married at Middle Ranch, a wedding full of handmade details that would make any DIY-er proud. Felicia was especially intrigued by Jo’s use of a ‘Silhouette’ cutter - a gadget like a printer, but instead of printing, it has a blade that cuts whatever shapes/words you want. I suspect [...]
May 18th, 2011: Anggia and Andi gave us a call after being recommended our way by Michelle (who we photographed in/around Vegas in March). Despite being based in San Diego, they wanted their engagement shoot to include unique locations in Los Angeles. They decided on Santa Monica Pier and LACMA, which I have to agree, [...]
March 17th, 2011: Southern California provides a host of varied landscapes that make for awesome engagement shoots, and, as evident from this blog, different couples pick different locations, based on aesthetics, or in this case: sentimental reasons. Denna & Parker met through mutual friends at a party on the rooftop bar of The Standard Hotel. [...]
March 14th, 2011: So, would you all like to know how random the world can be? Yes? I thought so. Way back in 2005, before I ever met my wife, Felicia spent a semester studying French in Paris. Her program had students from Singapore, Virginia Tech, Hong Kong and University California Riverside. There she met [...]
March 4th, 2011: Felicia and I love photography and although Felicia sometimes feels uncomfortable in front of the camera (especially if I test newly-acquired gear on her when she’s just stumbled out of bed), we feel it’s important to have quality photos taken quite regularly so we can look back some day when we’re old [...]
February 21st, 2011: Several weeks ago, Iris got in touch with me and requested an engagement session at Disneyland. It was one of the many stops she had to make during the scavenger hunt Mike planned as part of his proposal, so it was only apt that they would have a photoshoot there to commemorate [...]
February 16th, 2011: When Natalie contacted me about her engagement session with Justin, we bantered back and forth about locations and finally decided on starting around Pasadena City Hall and wandering on from there. Justin and Natalie love living in Pasadena almost much as Felicia and I love our town of Burbank. We got to [...]
February 9th, 2011: Early last week Jerald gave me a call and laid out a scheme he was planning for Saturday night – this involved Teniel, a ring, a sunset and Malibu. Jerald had the whole night planned out, oceanside proposal, dinner at Geoffreys, and an night at the Loews in Sanata Monica. He had [...]
