Nicole + Logan | SF E-Session | Japanese Tea Garden

Nicole and Logan took me to the Golden Gate Park Japanese garden in San Francisco to shoot their engagement photos. This was actually the first time I’ve ever been inside the garden.  I was in awe of how big the space was. Can’t believe I’ve never been inside after all these years.

Nicole and Logan were a super chill couple. I’m excited to shoot their July wedding in the bay. “Hella” excited!

Kim + Brian | Engagement Session | UC Davis, California

This engagement session was taken at the University of California, Davis and downtown Davis.  The last time I took a picture in Davis was about a year ago.  I attended UC Davis, so as you can imagine, I’ve taken my fair share of photos there. This time however, my visual perspective of Davis totally changed. I was able to see subjects and light in a whole different… ahhh…light. Amazing how different of a photographer I am from back then.

Anyway, Kim and Brian were awesome to photograph. It’s always a pleasure to photograph a couple that appreciates photography. Kim showed up in a beautiful turquoise dress and Brian was just looking like a rock star. 😛  Style + Fun Couple = Great Photos!

Check out the photos and please leave a nice comment.  🙂

The Essentials – Albums

Aaaah, nothing like the sweet smell of fresh leather.  I’ve gone through great lengths to find the very best albums to offer. These hand crafted leather albums are for those who can appreciate  the finer things in life such as the most flawless, clearest diamond, or a handcrafted, centuries-old Persian rug.  I call this the Louis Vuitton of albums because the quality and attention to detail on these albums are just outstanding.  These pictures do not do these albums justice. You have see and feel it to truly appreciate it.

If you want to be able to tell the story of your wedding day, there’s no better way to do it than with an album.

This is Arcie and Jun’s 47 page 12×12 album with two 8×8 parent albums.

Monika + Dan //Rancho Las Lomas Wedding // Orange County

This one was an awesome wedding at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado. I was the guest shooter for Miguel Pola, one of Orange County’s premier wedding photographer and the photog to go to if you’re Puerto Rican….because ahh, he’s Puerto Rican and he can sing and dance the Macarena.  Yup, true story.

The venue was beautiful. The bride looked gorgeous. And all the vendors did an awesome job to bring together Monika’s special day. As you can see from this epic blog post, I had a lot of fun shooting at this place.

This post is dedicated to Renn and Lang! They approached me during this wedding to tell me how much they loved the photos that I shot  at their friend’s wedding in San Francisco. It totally made my day.  🙂
