welcome to my blog!

My family & friends know that no matter where I go, I always carry a camera.

I believe that there is a story to capture in every moment...whether it is in an expression, an intimate look between a couple, a shared laugh among friends or a twinkle in the eye. Some of the most memorable photographs are the ones that are most natural, which leads to my photojournalistic approach when it comes to weddings & sessions. I love watching the day unfold. Anais Nin once said, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection." If only she knew that photography would allow for the same.

I am also greatly influenced by fashion photography, so a lot of this inspiration shows in my work. My background in arts & design also contributes in large part to my style and aesthetics.

My aim is to give clients a sense of who they are & what makes their relationships extraordinary, all while having a fun time doing it! Perhaps they will see me through the photographs as well: a bit of spunk, boldness, chic + fun! At the very least, clients will be able to laugh at my awesome jokes! =)

Life moves at an incredibly fast pace, so I feel incredibly lucky to be able to freeze little moments in time. I feel very blessed to do what I love & love what I do, and I hope my passion and skills for photography and design show in my work!

I would love to hear from you! Please send me an email or use the form through the contact page to tell me more about yourself & what you are seeking. I look forward to connecting with you!

christina + eric | wedding | st regis monarch beach dana point

posted in announcements, featured, weddings

just a quick announcement that we have won the bride’s choice awards™ 2012. that means we are in the top 5% of wedding pros nationwide! hooray! this is such an honor and I am so grateful for all my wonderful clients! thank you!!! here’s the header in the email i received this morning…an awesome way to start a monday…I’ll be adding the official badge when it’s available. =)

christina and eric are one of the sweetest couples i’ve ever met. a month before the wedding day, christina got hit by a drunk driver and her car was totaled. luckily, christina is okay but even after a month, her body was still recovering and Eric mentioned that she was still in pain. On the day of the wedding, christina was full of smiles and was glowing with happiness…nothing was gonna stop her from marrying her eric.

the wedding day was full of laughter and love. it was such a beautiful ceremony and the releasing of the lanterns were amazing to watch. i’m definitely adding the lantern festival in asia to my bucket list. from the awesome diy photobooth that eric made to their amazing tango dance…it was all ahhh-mazing and lots of fun. here are some of my favorites from their special day…congrats again, christina & eric!
