Darling + Louie || Married || Anaheim

Posted in: Wedding

We finished up our last wedding of 2012 with Darling and Louie.  When I first started my venture into photography, I photographed a debut for a family who trusted me enough not to make a fool of myself.  They put their faith in me to capture their debutant’s special day and many years later, Darling, an aunt of the debutant, asked me to photograph her wedding.  I always love working with families that I’ve worked with before because I get to see old friends and see how everyone has grown up.  Darling and Louie and their family have become such great friends with us and we’re glad we’ve been able to reconnect with such wonderful people.  We took some great shots and had some opportunities to take very creative ring and dress shots.  I posted a few more extra than usual. Here’s a look at their special day, I hope you all enjoy!

Words cannot express how happy Louie and I were to have you be a part of our Big Day! I should actually say “days” since you took all our amazing engagement photos as well as BOTH our wedding days! You truly captured every little details. You are an amazing artist with an incredible eye! Your attention to detail and work ethic is unparalleled. We are so pleased with the pictures and so thankful we got the chance to get to know you and be part of our family. LIKE AND LOVE THE PHOTOS. Great job Justin and Kevin. I’d be happy to offer a personal referral ANY DAY! Thank you.

EMOTION… Capturing emotions of people…moment to moment and in a… very MODERN and UNIQUE way. Plus your eye for details and amazing God’s gift of creativity. And more importantly, you treat your clients as your FAMILY. These set you apart from the others. These are your pictures… your photography… they SPEAK and they are PRICELESS!

Thanks to Chester, we got to know you 3 years ago and captured every moment of Mika’s debut. Since then, you became not only our official photographer but also an extended family member. We are so privileged to have you once again… another successful event to remember. Sincerely, THANK YOU. And thanks to Kevin and Gabby too! For sure, you will be there in every milestone of our family. Another one happening soon…

For those who are interested in getting Justin’s services, no second thoughts and sign-up… JUSTIN is really, really, really AMAZING!

Rosanne + Rovy || Married || Oxnard, CA

Posted in: Wedding

I got to catch up with Rovy when he came down to pick up his wedding photos. These have been done for a few weeks but he wanted to do a private screening with his family and friends before they went up, so you can see how the timeline on this is a little skewed. Rosanne and Rovy brought us out to Oxnard for their wedding weekend and we did full coverage for their day. We had a lot of time to play with ideas, creative detail shots, and great rain shots. Rosanne and Rovy were down to get into the mud and rain for the right shot and had one of the coolest yet simplest backdrops i’ve seen. I really enjoyed these photos and I think you can tell how fun everyone had. Thanks for letting us be a part of your big day and for being great friends. Please enjoy!

Susan + Alex || Maternity || Covina, CA

Posted in: Family | Maternity

Susan, our good friend and hair stylist at Salon 25 is expecting a new addition to her family, so she and her husband Alex spent some time with us taking some before-baby pictures.  Along with their two dogs, we went over to the nearby elementary school, which was fitting for this kind of photo shoot if you think about it, and the local park!  We focused on Alex’s love for basketball, which we think he’s passing on to the baby by getting the baby a Kobe Bryant jersey, and at the same time the intimate relationship between Susan and Alex.  Nothing stopped us from having fun on this shoot, even if it meant breaking the law by bringing in their dogs to the no-dog park.  It was a very contrasting day, having two adults in situations we generally think of children being in, and hopefully it got them more excited than they already are for the baby.  This is only the first half of their maternity session though, so stay tuned for the next set.  We’re just waiting for a latecomer to the arrive :).
