Ezina and Dax are an eccentric couple that sparked my interest ever since my phone conversation with them about setting an appointment for their wedding. Our personalities clicked perfectly from day one, which in turn made our engagement session sail quite smoothly. Of all the photo shoots I have done, I have not experienced one that relates to wings (you will see it in the following images). Ezina’s alias when she performs at concerts is Guitar Goddess. I guess that kind of explains why she wore a pair of amazing white wings during their engagement. Our first location was at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. The significance of this place is that Dax proposed to Ezina near one of the ledges of the observatory. Is that romantic or what?! Enough chit chat, I now present Ezina and Dax.

Los Angeles, CA 90027-1299

After the observatory, we made a quick drive over to Malibu to snap a few photos at the beach. Ezina changed to her red dress and strapped on her custom made guitar and serenaded Dax with a few tunes. ^_^

Thank you Ezina and Dax for the fun day around the city. Thank you Danny for your countless assistance. Ezina and Dax will be tying the knot early next year at Beverly Hills Hilton. I look forward to that wedding!

Happy holidays,

Hello everyone,

This engagement photo shoot took place in my home turf at Downtown Los Angeles!  Caryn is one of Julie’s (Furious Photographer) cousins so this engagement photo shoot was extra special to us.  We started at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and concluded at Disney Concert Hall across the street.  The cool thing about photographing in Downtown Los Angeles is almost everywhere is walking distance.  Overall, these two were a fun bunch.  Enjoy the photos!

MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) Los Angeles
250 South Grand Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 626-6222

After photographing here many times, I still do not know what that pile of metal in the back represents.

After MOCA, we strolled across the street to Disney Concert Hall.

Disney Concert Hall
111 S Grand Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90012

I am a sucker for metal. =P

These two locations are amazing places to take wedding or engagement photographs.  MOCA and Disney Concert Hall are opened to the public to take pictures, just respect their property, so make the most of it photographers! I look forward to Caryn and Hernan’s wedding!

Cheers,

Hello,

This engagement session took us to the city of Long Beach! Since Claudia is attending Cal State University of Long Beach (CSULB), she knows her way around the area and decided to start the engagement photography session there. Our e-session started at the CSU Long Beach Japanese Garden.

Got of have sun flares! The warm sunlight and the golden yellow tree leaves added the extra touch to this engagement picture! =)

Hung out from our sunroof to take this photograph!

We were fortunate to still see autumn leaves in Long Beach to take this picture. Is that a cool ride or what?!

Same bench on Ocean and Temple (Long Beach) where Alex proposed to Claudia =)

My favorite engagement photograph of the day!

Alex and Claudia will be married at the Ebell Club in Long Beach early next year! Of course, they will be escorted in their sweet Beetle.

Best,

Howdy,

Coming back to UCLA brings back memories. It was not long since I graduated from UCLA. And since then, I have not stepped foot onto UCLA’s campus until now. Ann and I met during our UCLA orientation and became friends. I promised her an engagement session two years ago. Better late than never right? =)

Hello,

Last post for today! I will follow up with some weddings later this week.

Nancy and Edward had two engagements for one day! Thanks to Tang and Tawny for helping me with this one. We three photographed a wedding in San Diego (Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park) just the evening before, so I was a little fatigued. However, Nancy and Edward’s upbeat personalities made it so enjoyable.

Nancy and Edward first took pictures at Santa Monica’s Farmers’ Market. Afterward, we trekked to Claremont where the LA Fair was hosted. Both locations were uber fun. After posting it on my FaceBook, I later found out that my friend, Joephy, is Edward’s coworker at Spot Runner. What a small world.

The following image is my favorite!

Dog drool…ew but fun

The following is a “Furious” image hand’s down.

After having lunch, we finished the remainder of our session at the LA Fair. There were carnival rides, games, food, and other fun stuff!

I love her shirt – me <3 carbs!

The princess found her prince. We look forward to your wedding later this year.

You two rock,
