“hey, soul sister” Myling + Yem were set up on a blind date by their brothers (not the same brothers…well you know what I mean!). A spring roll later (or maybe two) at Brodard Restaurant (my Viet people know how yummy those rolls are) and the rest is history and of course, here for you to see :). This is one sexy, stylish and smart couple. And when they weren’t kissing, they kept me laughing…read more
“welcome to the (beautiful) jungle” Last month, one of my lovely couples flew me out to New York City to shoot their engagement session. Yelena + Igor have been living in NYC for the last few years as Yelena is attending medical school in the city. They have lived in LA most of their lives and will get married here in June, but they also wanted some great memories of some of their favorite places…read more
“paparazzi” One of the best parts of my job is visiting fun places with fun couples. I spent a wonderful afternoon running around with Linda + Tuan. We even saw an episode of TMZ paparazzi with my camera gear. So after gawking at Chris O’Donnell for a few minutes, I went back to photographing my lovely couple :). I think I might have a plan B if this wedding photography thing doesn’t work out! One…read more
“beautiful day” I had a fabulous session with Kim + Quang at one of my favorite places to shoot in Los Angeles – Griffith Observatory. It was the perfect the way to commemorate their love and spend a nice Friday afternoon :). These two have such laid back personalities and fit each other so well. I can’t wait for their wedding in May!
“need you now” I met Sylvia from Luci + Ernesto’s December wedding and I was more than thrilled when she asked me to shoot her wedding in August. I met Joel at our e-session and I soon learned that he is quite charismatic and quite good at coming up with his own modeling poses :). These two made my job so easy with their laid back personalities and undeniable chemistry. Oh and did I mention…read more
“i knew i loved you” As Takeo said so confidently in front of their families at their engagement party last month, “when you know, you know.” You can hear it, feel it and see it – they know. And these photos sure say it. Congrats Michelle + Takeo!
“pretty in pink” You may remember Jenna + Steven’s super sweet engagement session I blogged last week. Well, drum roll please!!! This week it was featured on one of the ultimate wedding blogs – Style Me Pretty! The blog is all about weddings that are pretty and chic and I was honored that they featured Jenna + Steven’s engagement session since they hardly blog any engagement sessions :). Much xoxo to Style Me Pretty for…read more
“act a fool” Jenna + Steven went from this super sweet photo shoot to this super hot one. But, before we get into how hot their photos from part 2 turned out, let me start by saying that everything that could go wrong almost did during the second half of their engagement shoot. Being the big klutz that I am (my knees can prove it), I (slightly) rear-ended Steven’s car (no I was not texting,…read more
“like a star” I have to be honest – I have been sick, tired and feeling a lil’ overwhelmed lately. Both my mother and my body have been telling me to slow down. But, it is so hard do so when I feel like there is still so much I want to do. Sometimes I think my mind and heart move faster than life itself. While wallowing in my sickness today, I received the sweetness…read more
“sweetness in starlight” I always feel so blessed to work with such wonderful couples. I met Steven last year through mutual friends and he told me how he wanted to do a surprise proposal for his girlfriend and asked me to capture some photos for them after the big moment. I was honored to be given the opportunity to catch an intimate glimpse of such a beautiful love story. You can see these photos and…read more
