February 6, 2010 9:00 am. Megan, Jessie, and i drove to the bride’s house to sneak up on her to get some morning shots. Every bride seems to be always embarrass at first knowing that they are not fully ready for the big day. As i always see it, the before and after images of a makeover does not say much in an image other than the memories of an eventful day. We all enjoyed the laughter that was shared between the bride and her bridesmaids. Happy tears seen in their eyes knowing that their girlfriend is moving onto a new life. The day was unforgettable.

I deeply enjoyed these cultural weddings and i’m excited to be able to share to you what i have photographed at The Villa.

I must say, Cooper sure have been apart of my life for the past 6 months. Just looking back on this image i took of him just when he was only 8 weeks old. This double chin, rambunctious, clumsy, and  human-like dog brings a smile to my face everyday. Despite of the past incident of chewing and tearing up my wall, i can’t stand being mad at his cute Shiba Inu’s face!!!  Come back for more images of Cooper. He’s getting bigger!!!

My love, my partner, my assistant photographer, and my dearest girlfriend Megan Pangan! We spent our Sunday in the backyard of Yorba Linda, which was where i grew up since a toddler! I would say nothing has changed about the area other than just more supermarkets. The thing i love about the atmosphere of Yorba Linda will have to be the nature scenery. The city just takes care of the area so well that i never want to leave!

The week sure have gone by fast. Maybe i’ve been in my room for so long and not paying attention to time. Is that a healthy thing? I do exercise….. Last weekend i had the opportunity to photography David and Candice’s engagement session. We went from one corner of Santa Monica to the next. It was fun and exciting to see two couples that just fall for each other in front of the camera. As the day progressed, i learned something new about David and Candice–they are dancers! Salsa or tango??? But anyways, they were good! If you guys ever need any dance lessons, one of the image you see below was taken at Tango Practica! Feel free to drop by there and put on those dancing shoes.

I also want to thank my fellow assistant photographers for helping during the day : Megan Pangan.

Enjoy!

New year, new website, new friends, and new faces. Over the weekend, it’s been quite the adventure going from one shoot to another. Here is a preview of what is coming up later this week!

It’s nice to be able to walk outside after a week of rain. Especially being inside the house for so long, i just felt my time wasn’t being spent well. More time around the television and less time with friends. Therefore, yesterday i was able to photograph a portrait session of Bryan and Alessandra. Megan Pangan, Jessie Valdivia, and myself were the paparazzi. All i could say is thank goodness for sunshine!!!

To start off my 2010, i have promised myself to start blogging as much as possible. Those that know me, i am a nursing student full-time at California State University, Fullerton. Nursing has and will always be one of my passion in life. Wedding photography is just not a job, but something that i also love doing. It keeps me sane when i go through certain phases in nursing and seeing tragedies that i wish i never saw. I figured life is tough managing two things at once, but ” i got to do, what i have to do.”

Let’s go back in time… right about last summer in June. I had the privilege to photograph an important moment of Matthew’s life. Bar Mitzvah! It was fun and i just loved the location. Megan Pangan, my girlfriend who is also a photographer assisted me on the event. It took place in Manhattan Beach at the Shade Hotel. One thing i can’t forget about this event is how much love that was put into it. Matthew’s parents had planned everything from the ground up to make the day memorable for their son. Enjoy!

Summer time is here and the sky is bright and clear! Sorry i’ve been M.I.A for awhile since many adventures and events took place within the month of June and July. To further update, my girlfriend including her family and I went on a trip to Hawaii and scoped the entire island. We had rented a blue color PT Cruiser that took us from one destination to another. I eventually got car sick since the roads were not that nice to me. After the trip, i recently went to Lake Tahoe for a vacation with my girlfriend, Megan Pangan, for our anniversary. It was time for us to get away from our usual life and live outdoors for a weekend. The trip was very worth the price, however, as we were driving on the 5 freeway heading south; my friend’s mini van broke down causing the entire group stranded in 90+ temperature. We all made it home safely which was 5 am the next morning. I’ll be updating you guys more images from my trip.

However, the real reason for this post is a wonderful wedding that i had second shoot for Carson at the Muckenthaler Museum, Fullerton. It was a gorgeous day and everything was set up perfectly. The wedding had all the imaginable decorations that i want within a wedding. Tom and Rachel were a lovely couple to shoot. I had a wonderful time guys and thank you for having me there on your wedding day.

About a couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege in traveling to Cancun, Mexico with Doug from Furious Photographers in second shooting for Tiffany and Ly’s wedding. The weather was beautiful and the ocean was quite better than Hawaii in my perspective. I still cannot get over how cheap the currency rate is for a tourist location. I will definitely visit Cancun as i get more settled down with more vacation time. 

As for Tiffany and Ly, they are like D & G models. They made images look so perfect like you will actually think it was from a GQ magazine. Despite with all the wind, nature has provided unique edges to my photos. I hope you all enjoy it!

Here is a same day edit movie that the Bui Brothers created as a promotional video for Doug from Furious Photographers. 

Last weekend, i spent my Saturday photographing an amazing couple in Downtown Fullerton. The day ran smoothly where i had an opportunity to photograph Jordan and Sarah’s engagement at this new local lounge  that just opened that day called Church. At first when i saw the building about a few months ago, i literally thought it was a church. I never imagined a church being decked out with nice beautiful artistic chairs and a wonderful menu filled with delicious foods. Well, the owner of the place was nice enough to let me make use of his new lounge to the point i used everything that is possible to produce wonderful images for Jordan and Sarah. 

Below you will find images being photographed at the playground. Without having no clue that these couples first met in a playground sure made their day memorable. I want to thank Jordan and Sarah for being such an awesome couple. I had lots of fun photographing both of you and i am looking forward to your wedding in July.
