City of Stars | Susana & Lydell

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the SUPER LONG delay since my last blog post. My couples were itching to see their wedding photographs on my blog, which means that it is time to stop slacking off. I will try to keep everyone up-to-date from now on. My first post will feature Susana and Lydell. This couple wanted their engagement photo session to take place in Hollywood, CA! The city was filled with lively attractions and performers, which paired up well with Susana and Lydell’s personalities. Although there are plenty of tourist spots for pictures in Hollywood, we took the road less taken. We traveled behind the streets of Hollywood Blvd. to capture these beautiful and fun engagement pictures. Enjoy!

Our first pit stop was the historical landmark in Hollywood – The Magic Castle. Since The Magic Castle opens only for dinner, we were able to utilize this beautiful Victorian home for our engagement pictures!

After our photo shoot at The Magic Castle, we trekked back down the hill to Hollywood Blvd. Our next stop was Roosevelt Hotel. Here is a tip about photographing an engagement session in Roosevelt Hotel – Do not use flash and watch out for the employees! I learned my lesson and was escorted out, but the risk was worth it for the following photos! ^_^

Although we ran into the authorities, we did not let that small hiccup spoil our mood for the rest of our engagement session. We concluded everything on the streets of Hollywood Blvd.

Throughout the entire photo shoot, Susana and Lydell were amazing to work with! They will be hosting their wedding at Black Gold Golf Course at Yorba Linda next spring!

Brown, Blue, and Bricks | Mariam & Faisal

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Hello everyone!

I just finished an awesome engagement photography session with Mariam and Faisal at Downtown Los Angeles. Mariam wanted brown and blue colors for her engagement session. What better place to photograph an engagement session than the rustic brown buildings and blue skies of Downtown LA! We settled to photograph the their engagement session at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Los Angeles. The reddish-brown textured walls at MOCA offered the perfect background for this photo shoot. Afterwards, we photographed the rest of their engagement session in the middle of the street! It was daring, but we are furious enough to take the risk! Check it out.

The textures for this engagement photo shoot were provided by Tofurious.

Of course, a lady always deserves a solo picture in any engagement session!

Welps, I hope you all like it. Their wedding is still pending, but I cannot wait to photograph them again!

Over and out,
