Vickie + Will || Wedding Photos || Earl Burns Miller Japanese Gardens, Long Beach

I have the best couples.:)there’s not much more to say than that. I’ve been blessed with not only incredibly in love couples, but couples who are fun, easy to work with, and always on board with what we want to do creatively. Vickie and Will have been so accommodating and sweet to us, their story was so easy to capture and full of beautiful moments and heartfelt speeches. Here is their creative story. Hope you love this! Please enjoy.

Clarissa Debut || Photo Teasers || Pacific Palms

We got the opportunity to take a short break from the wedding game for a day and shoot a DEBUT this last week. For those of you who might not be familiar with this Filipino custom, the Debut is a traditional coming-of-age celebration for a young woman’s 18th birthday. Think of it as the equivalent of a Sweet 16 or a Quinceañera. From the start of our day, it was nothing but fun getting to capture those close knit family vibes that everyone had. Even amongst the other vendors we got to work with, it felt like everyone knew each other. When you get the chance to work in such an environment, you remember it forever. Clarissa, her family, and her court were so on point when it came to directing them during the photo session, the ideas and concepts just seemed to flow into each other seamlessly. Not only were they on point for the photo session, Clarissa and her court were also on point with their awesome dancing with the Waltz and their Hip-Hop routine. Talk about clean! The dancer in me wanted to jump into the formation and block myself in the routine… ;) BIG BIG thank you to Clarissa, her older brother Jan, and the rest of the family/friends for being so welcoming and so easy to work with throughout the whole day. Much love!

Kira + Jeff || Wedding Photo Teasers || Franciscan Gardens, San Juan Capistrano

Greetings from the home of the Tardis and all things Harry Potter. Today we’re sitting in a photography workshop and I’ve found the hard way that running the business and trying to further my creative mind is a struggle and I had to still find time to work on this trip. So here I am posting posting posting and editing our recent weddings. Next up is Kira and Jeff’s beautiful wedding at the Franciscan Gardens, here are just a few photos from the weekend where Kira and Jeff were incredibly accommodating and kind to us. Reconnected with lots of old friends and was pleased to share with them a same day edit created by our very own Satoriie talent. Because of this mind blowing trip we’ll be trying new things and pushing our limits. I have some new ideas I want to start implementing and pushing my creative shooting to new levels. I think you might start noticing if not immediately, in the coming new posts. Maybe i’ll even throw up some slideshows. For now though. Hope you enjoy these teasers, more to come in a few months. Please enjoy!
