Jan Antonette and Maynard Ster Alido Wedding

Yesterday one of my bros from XPO got married! Maynard Ster Alito aka Kuya Maynard, aka XPO 236 is one of the dopest person I know. He’s been there for me during some of my worst times and continues to be an awesome Kuya to me. I was honored to be invited to his wedding. So who’s the lucky bride? Her name is Jan and she’s the bride who wants it all. It clearly showed through her BEAUTIFUL wedding. Every little details in the wedding was perfect. The ceremony was held at the Holy Spirit Church in Fremont C.A. The reception was held at the Hilton Hotel. As I walked into the reception hall, I was in awe at how beautiful the set up was. The color theme of maroon and gold worked out really well as all the tables were covered with white cloth accented with maroon ribbons. Well, check it out for yourself!

LoL, don’t ask me why the boxer is in here. hahahaha, Maynard insisited.

XPO! We roll deep.

I was also introduced to Aaron Leong, a videographer from Sacramento. Aaron is from 4th Wall Productions. Their professional apperance and equipment was very impressive. I also enjoyed the sideshow that they produced for Jan and Maynard. So if you ever need a videographer, hit them up!

The Morrisons | UC Davis Family Portrait Session | Davis, CA

Janina and her beautiful family came all the way over from Vacaville to take her family portrait in Davis. Her daughter, Genevieve, was such a joy to work with. When they first arrived, Janina’s Genevieve ran up to me and gave me a big hug. How cute is that?!? Here are my favorites from the day:

The ducks in Davis are not shy whatsoever. They passed right is front of me in the middle of our shoot. I was able to caputre them perfectly lined up. cooool. This shot perfectly symbolizes this family. I love it!

So here we have Mama Bear- Janina, Papa Bear- Dan, and Little Bear- Genevieve

Genevieve is the most well behaved 4yr old I have ever seen! She’s so itellegent! Congrats to the parents on such a wonderful child!

Luisiana & Gerald Wedding- Previews

Little did I know that the random phone call I recieved from a man during my shoot in S.F would lead me to meet such a wonderful couple. After Gerald called me inquiring about my wedding service, my first thought was, “whoa, a dude is planing the wedding???”. Hahaha, yeah, talk about resisting gender roles! I’m very glad he did call me. It was a beautiful wedding in Davis, CA. Here are some of my favorites:

Summer Time!

Yaay! No more finals! I’ve been mad busy this past two weeks. I’ve been doing a lot of senior portraits and e-sessions. My bookings have increased 3x! Who wouldda thought that I would be doing so well. My photography is mos def improving with each shoot that I do. It makes it so much easier to book a session when my photos do the selling for me. Good photography sells itself, and I believe that’s why I’ve been so successful. Hopefully the booking will continue to come in and I will continue to improve on my photography.

Thanks for putting me through school everyone! 😀

So I’ve been really behind with my blog post. But here are my favorites from the past two weeks. Enjoy!

Andrea & Albert:

I also wanted to note that Andrea was a participant in this years PCN at UC Davis! Check her out!

Vanessa:

Vanessa? What can I say about her? She’s only the coolest sister of Lambda Sigma Gamma!

Luisiana y Gerald:

Luisiana and Gerald first contacted me after they saw the photos I took for Lousina’s sorority, Sigma Pi Alpha. I’m glad they did because you can tell they’re two love birds in luv. And it’s always a pleasure to photograph couples who are in love. It makes my job so easy! They’re getting married this weekend and I’m their photographer, so I’ll keep everyone updated with photos from the wedding soon!

Congratulation to Luisiana-She’s 3 month pregnant!
