Cello and Lolita Married – San Pedro, CA

Posted in: Wedding

Cello and Lolita were high school sweethearts who after high school went seperate ways. Many years later they had come back into each other’s lives through their kids. Now after years of raising their children, they’ve created a Brady Bunch family with their 5 kids altogether. It must have been fate as things just worked out perfectly. Cello and Lolita asked me to photograph their small and very intimate wedding ceremony at the Korean Bell in San Pedro. Only their closest family and friends attended as their children had mixed sand together in the combining of their families. Afterwards we went down to the tidepools and finished up taking some family pictures. It was all really beautiful and I’m glad to spend these special moments with them. I’m very glad that they’ll be filling up their house with these pictures now too! Thanks so much for letting me photograph you and your family!

Kaba Legacy – Final Product – JUSTINELEMENT Studio

Posted in: Studio | Uncategorized

After weeks of working, and I mean WEEEKS. i’ve probably finished the most time consuming and hardest project i’ve been up against. None of my finals, personal projects, or client projects have put me up to a test like this has been. But after countless hours of edit edit edit from setting up the planning stages, to a very editorial four light set up, to dramatic editting and detail oriented photoshopping, I got a final product that I am personally proud of.

Thursday, PJ came in to finish finalizing the composition of the final images and after a bottle of wine and 5 hours later, we spit out a clean new look for the Kaba Legacy Team. Hope you guys like it!

Sunshine – Krystle Tugadi – Seal Beach, CA

Posted in: Headshots

So I’ve been working pretty closely to old friend Krystle Tugadi regarding her debut of her first single Sunshine. The single will debut October 26, 2010 and will be on sale in Itunes and at her various shows and performances. Krystle asked me to do the album cover photography for her and really explore her theme of sunshine. It was a little different from what i normally do, since we had a vintage style going from our brainstorming. Nevertheless, if i’m going to revamp my style of photography, now is the time! So it wasn’t hard to pull together a good compilation of shots with her energy, charisma, and her smile. The wonderful people at the Endless Summer Clothing Store let us use their awesome store as a backdrop to some of Krystle’s shots. Check them out they’re located near the pier on Main Street and they carry some stylish gear, including my fav Paul Frank. Krystle’s single comes out on the 26th so expect it, make sure to check out my photos, and listen to her song “sunshine” on repeat. Also don’t forget to log onto itunes and download it, and give her some love via facebook, twitter, and youtube.

Thanks Nat, I totally forgot to throw in the plug for endless summer. (just editted it now though :])they were such great people and I really love how Seal Beach is set up. I really hope that the offices there fill up, I've been thinking about getting my studio started up in those great spots too! We'll see how the next year treats me and i'll make decisions from there. Thanks again Nat!
