Pavillion By The Lake, Atascadero | St. James Episcopal, Paso Robles | Wedding: Michael + Jess
June 8, 2010 | Filed Under weddings | 5 Comments
Michael and Jess, a couple that truly complement each other. They brought us all the way from Los Angeles and having spent a day being part of this special occasion was a pleasure.
I’m in awe of the place, it was a big contrast to the bustle of metropolitan LA. The sun was harsh but it was still cozy.
I couldn’t have orchestrated their “first look” any better, Jess planned it really well. It was like Romeo and Juliet, a moment that would make Carla easily cry. My thanks to Nik Esguerra for second shooting.
On a footnote, a facebook like button now appears specifically for each blog entry. It’s way down before the comment section. This got me fired-up and so I did a test. Excuse me for “liking” my own post. =)

UCLA – Royce Hall | E-Session | Savio + Grace
February 24, 2010 | Filed Under weddings | 4 Comments
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.

Embassy Suites Downey | Clark Estate Santa Fe Wedding: Brandon + Sophia
October 15, 2009 | Filed Under weddings | 6 Comments
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 | 2 Comments
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.
