Was up in Long Beach a while back to hang out with Marjoriemay, John and their little (big) dude Hogan. We started off at downtown Long Beach then headed to the shoreline for some beautiful light. Can't wait for their wedding in October!
roses on the beach
I traveled up to Dana Point for a family session with amazing wedding photographer Ashley Rose, her husband Jeff and their little dude named Crew (oh what, J + Crew! Ashley doesn't work in this joke). We headed down to Salt Creek Beach and proceeded to get attacked by the sun, I think I did more crying than Crew did. But we had a blast and I am now witness to Crew's famous blank camera stare which I so happily captured. Enjoy some of my favorites from the day.
sell + christian / this one's for you
Gorgeous wedding in San Diego at the Prado in Balboa Park, love these two.
Before the wedding, we went to pay respects to Christian's grandmother, a beautiful moment I was honored to share.
trisha + jeff / los angeles times
Loved this engagement session I did a while back with Trisha and Jeff at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles. They wanted to showcase their cultures for the first half, with Jeff being Filipino and Trisha half Filipino and half Indian, so Jeff wore his barong Tagalog and Trisha her sari. The second half was fun filled with a giant red balloon, I thought Trisha was going to knock Jeff out with that thing. Tomorrow is their wedding day, so come back for more.
chi-na + jesse / san francisco foodies
I headed up for a foodie day trip to San Francisco to meet up with Jesse and Chi-Na. As soon as they picked me up from the airport we went on an eating binge: Tartine, Pizzeria Delfina, Dynamo, Boccalone, Cowgirl Creamery, Blue Bottle, then Hog Island Oyster Company. I spared you from posting photographs from each restaurant because if you read this post hungry, you may get upset, haha. But after all the food it was portrait time, so we headed to Golden Gate Park and the Sutro Baths to some beautiful light. I must shoot better with a food coma.
