Catherine + Jeff Engaged – Chino Engagement & Family Session

Sunday, February 14, 2010 Posted in Engagements

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Chinese New Year!

When Catherine mentioned she wanted to do her engagement session at the airport, I got really excited! Of course I’ve been around commercial jets when flying and such, but I’ve never gotten to see the small, vintage airplanes that we got to photograph with. Admittedly, I know nothing about airplanes… so when they mentioned things like Mustangs, it went completely over my head. :( But still fun to shoot! The extra bonus for me was getting to photograph their son, Mr. Jeff, as well.

Sharon + Joshua Engaged! – UCLA Engagement Session

Friday, February 5, 2010 Posted in Engagements

I’ve been doing tons of baby sessions lately – so it was a lot of fun for me to change gears for Sharon & Joshua’s engagement session. It was an extra treat for me because they were both up to any ideas I had. As a result, we got some fun photographs in a classroom as well as Powell Library. Yay for their wedding coming up in May!

Happy 2 Year Anniversary!

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 Posted in Engagements

Not only did I photograph Sovirya & Sophyrun’s engagement session but I also photographed their wedding – so it was really special for me to see them again to photograph their 2 year anniversary! We went down to San Juan Capistrano in somewhat cold and dreary weather – but we got to explore the mission, Pedro’s Tacos, and some back alley ways. :)

Cindy + Bob’s Engagement Session

Saturday, August 2, 2008 Posted in Engagements

Couples like Cindy & Bob make my job way too easy :) – I had a wonderful time walking around with them in Abbott Kinney. I’ve never photographed there – so it was an extra treat for me to scout the area. Special thanks to the stores in Abbott Kinney for letting us photograph on their property!

Salma + Kris’ Engagement Session

Monday, June 9, 2008 Posted in Engagements

My GPS threw me a little off-guard when it forced me onto an auto ferry in order to get to the Balboa Fun Zone where I met Salma & Kris for their engagement session. :) If their personalities are any indicators of how much fun their wedding will be, then I know we’re going to have a fantastic time at their wedding at the Ebell Club. Wooooo! Can’t wait!
