Good evening everyone!
I hope everyone’s summer is coming along nicely and had some time to allocate for some crazy adventures! As for me, I recently had the opportunity to go camping twice and chased the Milky Way! I will post some photos of my adventures from Big Sur and Sequoia shortly and share the love. Aside from smelling like bonfire for the next few days, having no reception on my phone while camping in the great outdoors was a blast.

Good afternoon everyone,
The weather here in Los Angeles has been rather moody lately. There were a few instances where it was raining here along with a few hazy days. On the brighter note, the sun finally peaked out today and let the warmth back in the city.
This next engagement photography session took place in Pasadena at an old theater. Unfortunately, this theater has been closed down for some time due to safety issues, but it still has a lot of character, especially for our purpose of engagement photos. Danny, Phebe, and I started strong by running around the foyer and lit the engagement session up with a few strobes. Even though this engagement blog entry is just a short preview, but it still looks really sweet! Enjoy the show.

Sabrina and Will was such a good sport throughout their engagement session. I will be posting their wedding from Calamigos Ranch in Malibu shortly, so stay tuned!

Good evening,
Danny and my next trip took us back to beautiful Old Town Pasadena for Jazmin and Arturo’s engagement photography session. It was a cloudy weather somewhat like today, but without the chances of rain. Either way, they brightened up the mood with their quirky personalities and colorful outfits! We went from one alley to another during their engagement shoot. One sweet alley in Pasadena that we found was actually in the process of repainting by street artist. With the fresh coat of paint on the wall, it brought out so much colors in the background of Jazmin and Arturo’s engagement pictures! After all the running around in Old Town Pasadena, we wrapped everything up in Pasadena City Hall with the grand hallways and arches. Check it out!

There are ups and downs when the rain pours on you during an engagement shoot, but usually there are more ups than down. If it is the other way around, that means the engagement session will come to an end and there will not be any pictures, right? Fortunately, Cindy and Jerome enjoyed the rain as much as I did and made the best of our day. Luck was on our side since we only faced sporadic rain clouds. We started our engagement photo session at Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and concluded at Old Town Pasadena…in Pasadena (haha, get it?). Enough of my dry humor in such a wet weather, here are a few clips of Cindy and Jerome’s performance in the rain.

We tried to stay nice and toasty inside the concert hall before battling the rain. This was actually my first time inside the concert hall, which was quite refreshing. The architecture of the interior is definitely one of a kind.
After the rain clouds took a short breather, we ran outside and took as many pictures as we can before the next wave of clouds arrived!
We took a quick detour to Los Angeles Union Station before our final destination at Old Town Pasadena. I must say that the detour was worthwhile!

Oh, what fun will an engagement session be if we cannot break a few rules? Since the street was nice and clear, we got ourselves a clean shot in the middle of the street! This is definitely one for the records.
Since this engagement photo session took place during Halloween (yes, that means I procrastinate on my blog posts), we took a more “grim and artsy” photo. I hope we pulled that feeling off in the following picture.
Thank you Cindy and Jerome for being such a great sport despite the rainy day. Sitting home in the rain is just too dull and boring for me.
Ciao,

Hello,
Renee and Glenn and two super fun people. During our initial meeting, they were even goofing around while we were talking business. I cannot help but laugh with them! Renee and Glenn conducted their engagement session in Old Town Pasadena (Los Angeles). Since Los Angeles is mostly concrete, Pasadena is a real gem since the area is built mostly with bricks.
Before five minutes even passed into our session, we ran into some cool street musicians! One had a rustic guitar and the other had a harmonica. Renee and Glenn practiced their first dance on the sidewalk, which was fun to photograph and fun to watch. 🙂
Afterward, we asked if we could borrow the guitar so that Glenn could be a rock star for a few minutes.
We found this kitchen alley to be so cool. It reminded me of SOHO in New York.
oOo Twilight!
Burned!
So giddy!
So in LOVE!
During the session, Renee showed me the 10 fob poses. It deserves a post of its own.
