San Jose Engagement Photographer :: Katy & Chris

What makes what I do so fun I think is the many different folks you get to meet on the road. So many cool people and the opportunity to shoot them in the coolest of places. 2011 is shaping up to be a dandy of a year. I can't wait to show you the great places we'll be traveling to. It's not fair.
Katy & Chris will be getting married at the Ranch Golf Club who's 4 walls has been documented by yours truly on many occasions. Always enjoy my time there.

Want to say thank you to Julie for offering her help as an assistant here. Awesome job! You can find her taking the greater Santa Cruz area by storm. Thanks again!







Thanks Julie!

The Washington D.C. Wedding :: Trinh & Tu

Many of you might remember me mentioning I grew up in the D.C. area, (Arlington) as a youngster. I've been 3 times in the last year or so and get nostalgic every-time. This time around, I had the opportunity of shooting for Trinh and Tu who's wedding was at the Omni Shoreham hotel in the heart of D.C. Such a beautiful wedding. Everything was first class and the treatments were superb. Trinh, you make a beeeeautiful bride. Tu, your the Asian answer to 007. Smooth dude, smooth.

So you've heard of having a second shooter. Well how bout a THIRD shooter!? I had the company of some great photographers and friends on this wedding. Tony, who's shot along side me on many occasions, and Candice K, who's portrait session I had the pleasure of shooting in Vegas last year. I'm not sure Trinh & Tu knew what him em. THANKS GUYS!! We rocked this one. You'll find images from all three of us below.

Thanks for having us guys. Enjoy the images.































My peeps. Say hi guys!

San Fransisco City Hall Photographer

Delaina married Danny and Delaina is Philips sister and Philip decided to marry Lauren and a partridge in a pair tree.


2 couple
2 post wedding sessions

Post wedding sessions are a blast. All the fun of a wedding day minus the rush. I TOTALLY recommend them if you'd like to add some great finally images for your wedding album. I shot the wedding for both couples down in Bakersfield a year+ ago.
For their post wedding session, they decided on coming up to San Fransisco and shooting at City Hall. I forgot how awesome that place is.

Thanks to Henry for helping out as assistant here. Helped big time bud. Thanks again.
It's 2011 folks!! Enjoy your day, week, month and year. CHEERS!

San Jose Engagement Photographer :: Monica & Josh

An afternoon on a swing with your main squeeze. Near Zen.

Monica & Josh will be marrying in just a few weeks here. "The Sauce" will be documenting. Best part about this one is that it will be at my home church here in San Jose: First Church San Jose. Looking forward to it guys!!

On a completely different note, my boys and I have 200 pets. What kind you ask? 200 praying mantis. Long story short, the boys caught a praying mantis in the yard several weeks back. A friend came over and though the best way to help it drink water is to pour a gallon of water on it. It died. :( After some reseach, I found some folks online that sell mantis eggs. It was sent in the mail and hatched just a few days ago. We have 200 additions to the family now. Photo to come soon!
