Clarissa’s 18th Birthday Debut || Pacific Palms Resort || City of Industry

It’s always nice to switch things up a bit from all the weddings we work to shoot an 18th birthday party. This wasn’t just any 18th birthday party though, it’s what’s known in the Filipino community as a Debut. Think of it like a Sweet 16/Cotillion on steroids. Clarissa’s older brother Jan pretty much planned the whole event and took care of every little detail. Talk about sibling love! My team and I had a blast being amongst their family and friends. They were all so much fun to be around, it wasn’t like work at all. From shooting lots of fun photos with the family, the court, and even with all the guests present, to getting down on the dance floor myself later that night, the day flew right by and before we knew it, we had to wrap up our “work” day. Big thanks to Clarissa, Jan, their parents, the awesome court, and the rest of the family for making the day so memorable for my team and I. Take a scroll down and enjoy!

Kira + Jeff || Wedding Photos || Franciscan Gardens, San Juan Capistrano

Kira and Jeff had a beautiful wedding at the Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano which we’re definitely not strangers to. We were able to present them their same day edit video topped with drone footage from their first look and venue. I’ve never seen the gardens from a better perspective and Kira and Jeff made it so perfect. Their lip sync competition took the cake and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Thanks for being a great couple to us Kira and Jeff, please enjoy!

Nancy + Thomas || Wedding Photos || San Diego, CA

Nancy and Thomas married at Liberty Station in San Diego, California. My team took a road trip down for the weekend to enjoy their wedding day and reunite with old friends from college. It was great talking to old friends again and seeing how everyone was doing and really enjoying the party afterwards. Nancy and Thomas were super chill and on top of all of that gave us some of the best moments and sound bites I’ve ever seen. I had a blast shooting their wedding and love their photos and videos. Seriously two of the coolest people I know. Special shout outs to those tacos too ;) Thanks again guys! Please enjoy!
