About a week ago, Albert, Junghae and I went to Hakone Gardens for their engagement session.  The gardens are such a beautiful setting for engagement photos – so calm and peaceful!  Here are a few of my favs from our session.

Connie & Mickey

Ceremony & Reception: Leal Vineyards
Makeup Artist: Creative Eyez
DJ: Synchronized Soundz

Connie & Mickey were married at the beautiful Leal Vineyards in Hollister. What an amazing couple.  We had such a blast during their portraits.  It was one of those great weddings where we were having so much fun, we didn’t want to leave!! The day just flew by ….

Isn’t she gorgeous ???

I love this shot my fabulous assistant, Auey Santos took ….

I swear, this was the most amazing day after shoot ever!!  Never in a million years did I think I’d find myself in a sea kayak, photographing a bride and groom the day after their wedding.  Of course, I LOVED every second of it!!  Apparently we created quite a stir with the wedding going on on the pier above us.  We actually held up their ceremony because their guests were so caught up in watching us!!

Donna & Karl

Ceremony & Reception:  Monterey Plaza Hotel

Donna & Karl were married at the beautiful Monterey Plaza Hotel a few weeks back. What I love about Donna & Karl is their willingness to do just about anything for the perfect shot.  This was true at their super cool engagement session from a couple of months ago and their wedding proved to be no exception. It was insanely hard to choose which images to post from their wedding.  Part two with their absolutely incredible day after shoot coming soon!

Yet another fabulous shot by Auey Santos …

A couple of days ago, I got to photograph these adorable newborn triplets, and their sweet older sister Clara.  Clara is such a great older sister!  She added a fun dimension to our session, and was a great helper.  Here’s a few of my favorite shots …

So many little toes!!

So sweet!
