May 11th, 2012: After 4 years living abroad in Japan serving in the Air Force, Britany and Robert had a whirlwind two weeks in California. A few days after they landed they had their engagement session with us, then spent the next week driving all over California to visit friends and have a pre-honeymoon, then got [...]
May 4th, 2012: We get a lot of question from photographers about our gear. From what we use, to why we use it and why it works for us as wedding photographers. So I decided to compile a list of all the cameras, lenses, gear and tools Felicia and I take along on a wedding [...]
April 27th, 2012: Last weekend, Felicia and I kicked off Wedding Season 2012 with Paty & Orlando‘s travel-themed nuptials in Long Beach. We arrived at the Westin to find the place crawling with sniffer dogs and scores of guys who look like they were with the Secret Service: I guess the Dalai Lama was staying [...]
April 20th, 2012: Happy Friday everyone! As you may have noticed, I have been pretty quiet on the blogging front for the past week. It was a deliberate silence as I took time to unwind, finding joy and inspiration in other forms of photography. Tomorrow is our first wedding of the year and from there [...]
April 11th, 2012: Fiona & Jeffry found us through a double recommendation: We photographed their friends Yenny & Anthony in 2010, as well as Michelle & Endy last year. We started off their shoot at UCLA, since both of them were students there, before braving rush hour traffic to make it to downtown LA for [...]
March 23rd, 2012: Marie & Huong found us a few months ago through our listing at SoYoureEngayged, and when we met them on a Friday evening for their consultation, we hit it off immediately, talking about anything and everything under the sun. When we finally parted ways, I glanced at my watch while walking to [...]
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 [...]
January 17th, 2012: Remember how I joined Canon Professional Services as a Platinum Member, where I can get free “Evaluation Equipment“? Well, I am loving trying out new gear and the second lens I requested (after the 100mm macro) was the Canon 85mm F/1.2 II (the “II” means it is the second version of this lens). As I said before, I [...]
January 9th, 2012: On Christmas Eve, I was in my Dad’s backyard, drowsy from a food coma and was being coerced into playing yet another game of croquet, when my phone rang. It was Michelle, whose engagement pictures we shot in the Nevadan desert and the glitz of The Strip in Vegas. Her best friend, [...]
