Family Session with Quan

I was invited to go along with Quan (http://www.quanDnguyen.com) to a family session in Roseville California. Quan is the man! He’s an awesome photographer who’s mos def going to become big one day. We had the shoot at the client’s HUGE property. The property included a lake, vintage cars, a barn house, and a man made water fall! It was awesome.
It’s interesting to see the different perspective and approach different photographers take at the same location.
Check out my shots from the day:

Diana & Christopher

Phew! I’m finally done with my masterpiece! Diana & Chritopher had a nice and small wedding in SF with close friends and family. The weather was perfect that day. San Francisco has so many nice homes which I was able to use as backdrops for some of my shots. I wish I lived in SF. I had a blast speading this special day with Diana and Chris. Check out their wedding album design-

WoW. What a long summer!

To help bring my summer to a nice end, I photographed Evelyn and Victor’s wedding in El Cerrito with Samule, my cousin/videographer. Throughout the day, Samule documented me in action and here’s what he produced:

Jan Antonette and Maynard Ster Alido Wedding

Yesterday one of my bros from XPO got married! Maynard Ster Alito aka Kuya Maynard, aka XPO 236 is one of the dopest person I know. He’s been there for me during some of my worst times and continues to be an awesome Kuya to me. I was honored to be invited to his wedding. So who’s the lucky bride? Her name is Jan and she’s the bride who wants it all. It clearly showed through her BEAUTIFUL wedding. Every little details in the wedding was perfect. The ceremony was held at the Holy Spirit Church in Fremont C.A. The reception was held at the Hilton Hotel. As I walked into the reception hall, I was in awe at how beautiful the set up was. The color theme of maroon and gold worked out really well as all the tables were covered with white cloth accented with maroon ribbons. Well, check it out for yourself!

LoL, don’t ask me why the boxer is in here. hahahaha, Maynard insisited.

XPO! We roll deep.

I was also introduced to Aaron Leong, a videographer from Sacramento. Aaron is from 4th Wall Productions. Their professional apperance and equipment was very impressive. I also enjoyed the sideshow that they produced for Jan and Maynard. So if you ever need a videographer, hit them up!

The Morrisons | UC Davis Family Portrait Session | Davis, CA

Janina and her beautiful family came all the way over from Vacaville to take her family portrait in Davis. Her daughter, Genevieve, was such a joy to work with. When they first arrived, Janina’s Genevieve ran up to me and gave me a big hug. How cute is that?!? Here are my favorites from the day:

The ducks in Davis are not shy whatsoever. They passed right is front of me in the middle of our shoot.  I was able to caputre them perfectly lined up.  cooool.  This shot perfectly symbolizes this family.  I love it!
