Huntington Beach Wedding

I recently photographed Carlo and Myan's wedding in Orange County with friend and fellow photographer, Cindy Chen of Hopparazzi Photography. I was filled with anticipation and the usual small dose of anxiety as I made the drive from Valencia down the 405 to Orange County. I love shooting weddings... it's an amazing opportunity to document the beginning of something incredible for two people and their families. Cindy photographed the ladies getting ready while I shot the guys, and then we all met up at the church for the ceremony. Carlo and Myan both looked fabulous and completely in love as they stood before their family and friends and committed to a lifetime of being together. The reception that followed was what I imagine their marriage will be like - a beautiful combination of Vietnamese, Filipino and Western tradition. Carlo and Myan, thank you for sharing your day with us.

Mission San Fernando Portrait Photography

I was incredibly honored to have been asked to photograph a three-generation family portrait at the Mission San Fernando recently. The portraits commemorated the Matriarch's 90th birthday (pictured below). The family had their portraits taken at this same location some 30 years ago... love the history! The entire family was amazing and I had so much fun photographing them. A shoot like this reminds me how lucky I am and what an amazing career I've chosen.

Fleeting Moments

My Dad, people watching at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. Love the fleeting moments.

One often forgets what an international destination San Francisco is until they revisit it and notice the many different languages floating through the air at any location being visited. I grew up near San Francisco and often take it for granted but there is no denying it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

First Day of School!

New backpack, new outfit, new shoes, new haircut, new lunch bag... it must be the first day of school! My girl LOVES school and couldn't wait to get back. I don't remember if I ever felt the same way... summer could never arrive too fast and always ended too soon.
