Malia + David | Married | Laguna Beach Tivoli Terrace Wedding

Posted in: Wedding

Malia & David tied the knot last month and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple. They gave me so much time and everyone was ready and on time. We executed the perfect first look and got to spend some quality time with the bridal party for photos. The entire day went by perfectly and they even got to drive away in an old Just Married bug. There wedding was Jane Austin themed, with a taste of vintage swirled in. I also got to reconnect with a few high school friends whom I haven’t seen since graduation. I really felt like we were even closer now that we’ve grown up and got to look back then when we were in high school. Its amazing what time does to us. Thank you thank you again for having such an awesome wedding, I’m glad I was able to capture it :) Please enjoy!

Jill and Reggie who literally live just down the street from me are getting married next May. We met at their house so Gaby could do their make up and we could take some photos that really personalized them. We got some great photos of them with Zippy their english bull dog and even got some shots of them playing Call of Duty, something both Reggie and I are really excited for, new release coming out TONIGHT! hahaha I’ll be seeing him online tonight. Anyway, here are some photos from our fun filled session. Reggie and Jill were amazing. Please enjoy!

Krystle Tugadi | Time EP | Release Photos

Posted in: Feature

My great friend Krystle is releasing her EP entitled TIME next Friday 11.11.11 – I really wish I could go to her release party but I’ll be shooting the last 4 of my 6 weeks 6 weddings rush starting that weekend, so the best I can do is wish her the best and send you all to her music. Contact Krys if you have any request or just want to chat it up, her youtube is here. So we had a few ideas for her album cover artwork including looking into a mirror and seeing a clock. womp womp hahaha i’m glad we snipped that idea, but krys came up with even a better one, something that could relate to her and the meaning of seeing time. We really played with emotions over time and really brought out the “real”ness in the set. I shot very close to a white drop and made sure shadows were seen. It’s not like alot of my normal work that’s much more controlled and studio like, these almost have a feel like were just shooting in front of a white wall. On top of that we went out and took some shots at a park nearby. Finally just the other week, I B-Rolled and accompanied the sunshine team at the filming of the music video for her single Sunshine directed by Anthony David teamed with Sarah Mendoza. Choreographed by Patty Asence. Styling by Nino Llanera and Creative Direction by Valerie Elle. I’m probably missing names so email me so I can add anything i’ve missed. I had a lot of fun with that cast and crew and can’t wait to see this thing all finished. Hope you enjoy!
