Victoria & Gerardo

 

 

 

 

 

We spent the better part of Saturday in the company of Victoria and Gerardo; a wonderfully delightful couple.   The love they have for each other is visible to everyone.  There were many times during the wedding that touched the heart of all present; even Julie nearly came to tears.  We had a great time and wish them the very best.

Chanthy & Brian

Had a fantastic time photographing last night.  We were very fortunate to be able to help two young lovers celebrate their wedding. It brought back a lot of great memories for me, we celebrated our wedding at the same restaurant a few months back. Hak Heang in Long Beach always does a tremendous job; the food and entertainment are outstanding. Chanthy and Brian, you are a beautiful couple and a joy to be around.  We wish you the very best; once again congratulations.

Motherhood

It takes a very special client to pull us away from photographing live action. We recently had such a client; she asked us to set up a studio in her living room for family portraits.  It was a blast. Her family was really fun and the evening quickly became a party with great conversation, fantastic food and magical photography.

The perfect Honeymoon... Julie, Travel, and Photography

This is one of my favorite pictures of Julie.  It was taken during our Honeymoon in Malaga, Spain.  If you’ve never been to the Southern part of Spain I highly recommend it, especially the Costa del Sol.

We had a wonderful time.

WHEN WE COME HOME

Every once in a while an event comes along that is tailor made for you.  For me, this event is a military home coming.  It is difficult to put in words the feelings that well up at a home coming.  All the people involved have made incredible sacrifices.

You would think the men, women, and children would only be happy to be reunited.  However, human emotion is far more complicated. 

After returning from my second deployment I got off the plane overflowing with joy and fear.  I was very excited to see Julie.  I could not wait to hug her but I was also a little afraid.  Julie and I have a wonderful relationship and I was afraid that something might have changed.  After all I was gone for over seven months.
