It is awesome when you have friends that love your work! We know Crystal and Jed from our church called Community of the Word. They met years ago but decided this was the time to further their friendship into marriage. They have such a sweet story and we can't wait to see how it will pour into their marriage. John and I were super excited they booked us to celebrate their engagement with an engagement shoot. Our first stop was in Corona Del Mar where he proposed and ended the evening at The Orange County Fair.
Crystal and Jed, we can't wait to get together again with our cameras in tow at the Hyatt Regency in Newport Beach.

Ask me where we think God will take us on our photography journey we'll honestly tell you that we have no idea. But one thing that we do know is that we try to continue to push the boundaries of what we believe we can accomplish.
That takes us to our first concept shoot with my new friend Sam =) If you've never heard of a concept shoot or a test shoot, its when we come up with everything for the shoot...from what the theme of the shoot will be, the kind of styling we want, the person doing the hair+makeup, the guy(s) or girl(s) that'll be modeling for us and lastly location. Then after all that is figured out, we (the photographers) try to execute it. Of course on a bigger scale (say for a client like J.Crew or GAP) this gets more complicated but i guess this is what you can call "practice" =) For more details from a pro, click here.
This was a few week of work rolled into one long day so a big thanks goes to the team involved...you guys are awesome! =)...

Hello. You guys are sexy pants-es. Thank you for knowing us and you together. I tend to make my comments look like spam. It's kind of a comment lotto if you will. Maybe you'll see it, maybe you won't.

When Lauren and I decided to be Wedding Photographers about three years ago, we knew why we wanted to do it...we wanted to be part of amazing couples' lives on their wedding day and be able to not only provide them with stunning images but more so an unforgettable experience that forges wonderful memories for years and years...much like how Me Ra was for us on ours.
But if you asked me if one of those amazing couples would include my baby sister? I'd probably respond with something like "let's not talk about that!" =)
Fast forward to today July 27th 2010...I'm writing the blog post I never thought I'd write...one that includes my baby sister finally getting engaged.
Love you more than you know M, see you soon....

Hey everyone, just wanted to shoot a quick note out to you guys and let you know that although we haven't blogged as consistently as we've liked, there's a TON of work we're dying to show you and the world.
Looking back at when we started, so much has already changed....from our company name, to our logo, to our website and more especially, our photography. And I'll venture to say that things will continue to change but always for the better (we hope at least right?!=)) But one thing that remains constant in our photography journey is our desire to never stay stagnant...to always push the limits of what we can accomplish and always seek to improve. In other words, ironically speaking, the one thing that remains constant is change.
Needless to say, whoever's out there, thanks for looking and welcome to our journey of photography...there's so much more to come =)
