Alicia & Joel in La Canada!

Wow!  I was so excited to get this post up just because I wanted to see the images myself!  I drove to LA yesterday to shoot Alicia and Joel's engagement session.  Alicia was really excited to book me and that always makes me so excited to give my clients my all.  Alicia is a naturally gorgeous girl and is great in front of the camera.  

I met Alicia and Joel at Joel's mom's in La Canada and we went from there.  From the very first minute you could tell that these two were crazy for each other.  They were so real and passionate in front of the camera and I felt privileged to be the one to shoot them.  I am so excited about how the images turned out!  Here are just a few of my favorites.  Alicia and Joel I can't wait to shoot your wedding!

Rock the Vote 08! Les Deux in Hollywood!

Last evening I went with my buddy Daniel Chin to shoot an event in Hollywood.  The event was to create buzz for people to get out and get their vote on.  It was a much different event than I am used to shooting.  I have to say that I did not know many of the stars that were there but did meet a few really cool people.  I want to thank Daniel for bringing me along a letting me shoot.

One last thing.  Get out and vote, seriously, many people have died to give us this right!   

Mandy & Jason @ San Juan

This last Saturday I shot Mandy and Jason's engagement session in San Juan.  I met these two at Dawn and Brian's wedding earlier this year and I am shooting their wedding in January.  These two have a very noticeable love for each other and it is so sweet to be around.  We started at their house to grab some shots of the Dogs then headed to San Juan to have a little OC urban fun.  Thank you both for an awesome evening!

John & Phung @ Dragon Phoenix Palace

Well, this might be one of my longest post ever!  This past Saturday I shot John and Phung's wedding.  This wedding was such a delight to shoot.  John and Phung had a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony at Phung's house where John and his family marched down the street to meet her family at their house.  They greeted John with Tea and love.  Next John and Phung serve both sides of the family tea and have a ceremony performed by family members.  It was such a beautiful thing to be a part of.  Well, this day was also my Birthday and John and Phung surprised me by having the whole bridal party sing to me and they gave me an amazing cake and a sweet orange tie!  I seriously have the best clients ever!  Then we went to the church to have a traditional catholic ceremony.  After that we headed to the Dragon Phoenix for the huge party of about 350 people.  This day was so much fun and the longest wedding I have shot to date.  A total of 15 and half hours.  Recovery was much needed Sunday and Monday.  Congrats to you both and thank you so much for making my birthday amazing!

Some Lovely details!
