Jennifer + Philip: The Proposal

02.14.10 | SANTA BARBARA, CA

Phil booked a sailboat and took his gf for a Valentine's Day surprise. My hubby and I were also aboard, pretending to be a stranger couple. Little did Jenn know, it was a private sail, and she was in for a bigger surprise: The Proposal...

Phil, my husband and I thank you for inviting us aboard the sail, to enjoy and witness such a wonderful evening. To be able to capture your moments for you and Jenn was our honor and pleasure.













Good job on your master plan, Phil! Jenn surely was surprised!! :)

Irene & Danny: Married!

06.27.09 | Occidental College -- Herrick Chapel | LOS ANGELES, CA

Irene and Danny are personal friends of mine, whose wedding was probably the funnest one I have been to. Their reception was awesomely entertaining, and their love was just so evident. Danny and Irene, I know your relationship will bring much honor to God and will be an example to many. I love you guys! :)

Katie & Nathan: Engaged!

06.22.09 | Oceano Dunes | OCEANO, CA

We were surrounded by people on ATV with curiosity. I couldn't resist including an ATV-er in action in the photo, to remember and to capture the reality of that shoot.

Sarah & Marcella: Photo Shoot!

06.22.09 | Oceano Dunes | OCEANO, PISMO BEACH, GROVER BEACH (I got confused with all the driving around in search of the perfect location!!), CA

We drove sooo far for this photo shoot, and the high tide almost swept Lucy's car out into the ocean, but thank God for the nice families out there with cool ATV's and RV's who came to the rescue!!! It was an incredibly long day, but the place was awesome, the sunset was beautiful, and our models were absolutely gorgeous!

Sarah was such a trooper! It was freezing, even though I had on jeans and a jacket. Sarah was in her strapless dress and freezing her bootie off, yet she was still out there, smiling and looking amazing for the cameras ;) Thank you, Sarah, for your patience and your enthusiasm! I had so much fun working with you.


















Marcella, you're such a natural! Your face is so multi-personalitied, and I especially love your fierce, "Come and get it" look! I can't believe you were so photogenic after pulling an all-nighter and even after an all day's worth of us driving around and getting lost! Thank you so much for being so cooperative and so enthusiastic!












Lucy and Cherry, great job on the hair and makeup, even though plans didn't go accordingly :)

...and although everyone was panicking in trying to get out of there before Lucy's car got pulled out to sea (it got stuck in the sand so many times!), I couldn't resist capturing the sun as it was setting...

Diana & Arbis: Engaged!

06.14.09 | Pasadena On Foot! | PASADENA, CA

Diana and Arbis, you guys were such entertainment! Thank you for being so real and so down to earth, and for making it so fun to photograph the two of you. Thank you, also, for the dinner offer. That was most kind of you.





Anna & Alex: Engaged!

06.14.09 | Old Railroad Track | ARCADIA, CA

Anna and Alex came so prepared for the eSession, with a full wardrobe, ice chest filled with drinks and all. It was Alex's idea to have the photo shoot at the railroad track because it symbolized the new path/journey they are to take as husband and wife. Anna, princess cut rules!
