Like for example…our fish, Khalil.

After the church ceremony, we went to UCLA for some bridal pictures! I am so glad that Marina suggested this location - it has all the elements that would make a perfect backdrop for photos. Great choice!

Shooting a high school senior is obviously different than shooting an engagement couple - but there’s one thing in common - I  always strive to capture my clients’ beautiful, authentic and comfortable selves and let their personalities shine in front of the camera!

Alli is a natural beauty!

It was really cool especially since I’ve never had any shoot in Oakland before! :)

Veronica & Alejandro got married on a glorious afternoon at Moonlight beach overlook at Escondido.  It was one of those wedding that is so full of much love and warmth. :)

dahon-001.jpg

A folding bike!! Dahon speed p8.

Daniel’s happy with his new bike. It looks small but it goes pretty fast!

Me riding the bike! hehehe…

So Daniel biked to the grocery store to buy food for dinner (he made shrimp tacos! yummy!).  Instead of locking the brand new bike outside, he folded it up and put it in the shopping cart.   Everyone was starring at him and asking him about the bike.  Funny.  Way to get some attention!

 And lastly, here’s our final soda #6!!!

soda-vanilla-001.jpg

Vanilla soda.  It was highly recommended by Elsa so I thought I’d saved the best for last.  Unfortunately it wasn’t the best for me.  I thought the vanilla tasted weird and it was way too sweet for me.  I took a few sips and Daniel drank the rest.  :(  Oh well!  I really like the other ones though!

soda bottles empty-001.jpg

Now the empty bottles sit proudly on top of our refrigerator.  And yes, that’s Captain Crunch right behind the bottles. :)

Tomorrow I’ll post a wedding that we shot this past weekend!
