UCLA – Royce Hall | E-Session | Savio + Grace

February 24, 2010 | filed under weddings  

I encourage costumes and props during engagement sessions. Here’s what they told me they’re bringing:

- A formal dress for a wedding: Oh I thought maybe it was something formal fit for a wedding guest.
- School uniforms: Oh, I thought they’re bringing school shirts since Savio works at USC and Grace studied at UCLA. That’s nice.

Then the day came, I caught a glimpse of Grace and WOW!… a wedding dress…a very beautiful one at that! She brought it from Hongkong and they told me she wasn’t using it on her wedding day. I was blown away, I always endeavor to capture something unique every-time I shoot and this surely makes it easy.

Then it was time for the uniforms. Once more, instead of the shirts they brought their highschool uniforms back from Hongkong. They were classmates thus the uniforms.

I had fun, as always. It was a bummer the library and classrooms were closed but the unexpected surprises and wonderful company made the whole afternoon enjoyable and worthwhile.

Newborn Photography | Our Home in Santa Clarita, Valencia | Mikaela Angeli

February 9, 2010 | filed under others  

We didn’t think we’d be doing another baby shoot, until a friend from work approached us for her baby’s photos..Although a bit apprehensive for the shoot considering the experience we had with jacob like ‘accidents’ that required several diaper changes; mikaela was just irresistible..

And it wasn’t as difficult as we expected..For a first time mom, Giselle was the calmest and most patient..

Special thanks to lisa for helping us out.

Maternity and Baby Photography | Santa Clarita | Los Angeles | A New Addition to the Family

February 7, 2010 | filed under others  

Although we were already in photography when Isabella was born, we realized that we didn’t get any formal and stylized photo of her. An oversight, that we vowed not do again. It was always in the back of our minds, but we didn’t do the maternity photos up until two days before Carla’s scheduled c-section.

As for the newborn shoot, our target was to do it on his 2nd week so we can capture him sleeping in a fetal position. Jacob was almost on his third week when he took his photo, he was showing signs of slowly stretching out of it. The exercise, turned out harder than I imagined. You really need a lot of patience and I guess the skill to know a newborn’s temperament. A task that I couldn’t imagine doing again. I now have nothing but sincere admiration for photographers who do this for a living.

And yes, Jacob kept us busy the latter part of last year. We kinda went on a short hiatus. Now we have adjusted and with a renewed fervor to shoot weddings.

Looking back, I’m glad we did what we did for Jacob. We know he’s gonna treasure them when he grows as old as we are now.

PS. I did another newborn shoot for one of Carla’s friend. Armed with our previous experience, it was easier, but still arduous. Plus the fact we had two more people helping me compared to our duo when we were photographing Jacob.

Embassy Suites Downey | Clark Estate Santa Fe Wedding: Brandon + Sophia

October 15, 2009 | filed under weddings  

Clark Estate, as an all-in-one venue, is simply awesome. I used to live near the city of Santa Fe and I didn’t even know it existed. The white walls and shape of the building, the outdoor reception, the cool weather, and the clear blue California sky made me feel as if I was in Santorini, Greece. Brandon and Sophia were exquisitely thorough, I wasn’t surprised they found this gem of a venue. A beautiful and enjoyable wedding we are privileged to be a part of. Congratulations you guys!

Thanks to Rodney for second shooting!

St Bridget of Sweden Van Nuys | Sheraton Universal Hollywood Wedding: Israel + Jindra

July 31, 2009 | filed under weddings  

Israel and Jindra, who wouldn’t love ‘em, easy going – no drama. They were married in Las Vegas but it is fascinating to know that a recent string of events (both good and bad) inspired them to strengthen their bond through a Catholic marriage.

My thanks to Rodney Singzon for second shooting.
