Steve & Lauralee's Engagement Photos

They met one another in Seattle, Washington, so it made sense for them to take their engagement photos there! I think my favorite part of the trip was meeting Lauralee's family and eating dinner with them too.

While traveling to their lake house, Lauralee mentioned how she used to sit across the lake, looking at a specific house. She couldn't believe that people actually lived in such beautiful surroundings... Little did she know, she would be meeting the man living in that house and later being engaged to him..

Lauralee and Steve you both are just too awesome! I'm so thankful to know you both and your families as well!

Jewel & Micah's Engagement Photos

It was a lot of fun visiting San Diego, CA and photographing good friends like these two! It was a bit sunny that day at Balboa Park, but we made the best of our lighting conditions. We plan to have another session in Long Beach, CA this coming July and as soon as I'm done, I'll post up those photos as well.

Welcome to the Family!

On Saturday, during my photoshoot with Fred and Natasha, I did the unthinkable... I dropped my camera!! (AHHHH)...

My lens broke, but the camera (thankfully) is still working...

I was so depressed though for the past couple of days! Why was I so clumsy! =P I was seriously stressed... until now...

Ryan bought me a D300! I wanted a D3.. but this is fine for now :-D


So, to my D300, welcome to the familia! ;-D.

Fred & Natasha

Although miles separated them, nothing could stop the destiny of these two souls from meeting. Fred had seen Natasha on the church's GEM-Net program on television called "My Life". Natasha also happened to view Fred's profile on the "My Life" program as well. What started off as two separate stories of their individual lives has now become a story of ONE LOVE...

I'm so blessed to have my wonderful family and relatives in my life! Fred, my cousin, is one of them :). He, along with his family, traveled to the Philippines to witness (and was one of my groomsmen for) my wedding... so when he and Natasha asked me to take their photos, I humbly accepted their request. It really is an honor! Fred and Natasha are so cute together! I can really see in my cousins eyes just how much Natasha means to him. I know Natasha will take good care of Fred as well! She's PERFECT and they're both lucky to have one another!

Yesterday we hurried down to Santa Monica Pier and tried our bestest to make the most of the available light the sky had to offer us... however, we were a bit too late... the water was crazy cold... but these two were just wonderful for getting their feet and clothes wet! I had to make it up to them so we continued the engagement session this morning at Belmont Shores, CA as well as the CSULB Japanese Garden :-D.

Fred and Natasha, I'm soooo excited to capture your wedding on August! We're excited to go to New Jersey and meet the other half of the family! It's going to be soo much fun! Thank you both and you know we'll be here for you both! Love love and hugs hugs!

Ate Joan & Ninong Ryan hehehehe :-D
