Jordi and Sean : St. John Vianney and Lido Island Yacht Club Wedding

Hello from Hong Kong International Airport!! Thank goodness for free Wifi!

Just wanted to do a quick post on Jordi and Sean’s wedding! We had the pleasure of joining Jordi, Sean and their awesome friends and family for their wedding in Newport Beach. Their ceremony took place at St. John Vianney in Balboa and their reception was at the Lido Island Yacht Club and it was a great, great day. We had an amazing pink sunset that had everyone coming out to check it out…it was fantastic. Congrats to Jordi and Sean!!



















Nolo Atelier Fashion Shoot

Back in December, we did a fashion shoot for Nolo Atelier, a men’s clothing line started by my friend Bryan. We shot down in San Diego at the Hard Rock Hotel and it was an amazing day of collaboration by everyone involved and I loved it! We don’t do this very often, but it totally got my juices flowing and I think a have desire to pursue some more fashion work in the future.

Tey and I led the photo team along with Mutya, who was assisting us that day. She took most of the behind the scenes video clips in the highlight clip below. As you will see, Nolo is going for that rockstar image, so it was definitely fun playing around with different ideas. Bryan already had a vision for the photos and style so we worked together to make sure we achieved that. We came out with some pretty cool images and learned a ton in the process. Bryan’s line looked awesome and he is raring to get them out there. So, look out for Nolo Atelier!! Coming soon to a boutique shop near you.

And here are a few of my favorite images from the day.

Anthi and Long : Laguna Beach Engagement Session

I met up with Anthi and Long last week in Laguna Beach and I had a blast taking their photos. They were really excited and were ready to go! I love the combo of woodsy and beach stuff…it just feels like such a complete shoot. And it totally shows off the type of landscape we have here in Orange County. These two spots are less than 10 mins from each other…I love it here! Their wedding is coming up really soon in March and it should be great! Here’s a few favorites:

Angela and Ty : Newport Beach Marriott Wedding Photography

It’s always a treat for us to go back to the Newport Beach Marriott and it was one of those memorable days where everything went just right. Angela and Ty are such an awesome couple, both so super nice and up for all kinds of photos. We had a great time looking for some new photo spots and we got some of my favorite shots of the year. Thanks to the crew at the Marriott for doing their usual exemplary job making the day just right. We had a great team of vendor, too! Fleuretica with gorgeous florals, Elysium Productions doing their usual amazing video work, Theresa Huang doing some awesome makeup and hair and DJ Jack Hou of The Music Man Productions running the music and lights. What an awesome team! Here’s some highlights from the day:
