San Jose Engagement Photographer :: Jacob & Marissa

We laughed throughout this entire series. Even the serious shots were faked over with huge smile and laughs., (just kidding, they're really in love). Bet the wedding won't be much different. Thanks for the laughs guys.

Big ups to my main man Brandon Miraflor for the referral here. I've known this dude for a long time. I owe you a double double and shake next time we see each other.

Also wanted to send a big ups to Henry Li for helping as second on this one as well. You are a grade A reflector holder. Don't let anyone tell you different.

She kissed him. He swooned.

love this one too.

This is Henry trying to shake some cherry blossom petals for a shot I was creating. It didn't work but it was still fun.

Wedding at Kohl Mansion :: Karina & Bernard

Bernard gets paid to ride bikes.

Karina knows French.

Their kinda perfect for each other right?

Shot this at a wonderful place called Kohl Mansion in Burlingame California.
Wonderful backdrop for an equally cool couple. Holiday theme atmosphere and a lively group of friends and family made for some really nice photos. Thanks for having Quan and I. :) Enjoy the new life together!

Plan on adding to my blog everyday this week. Lots of fun stuff in store. Thanks for the look peeps. :)

Happy Monday (night)

San Jose Engagement Session :: Sharon & David

I miss the 80's.

:(


I can't think of a more relaxed couple I've the privilege of shooting for then these two.
Really chill and it shows in the shots I'd say. They were up for anything and we just about did anything. Seems like I have a running theme as of late of incorporating stuff from my/our childhood into my sessions. Can you guess what it is in this set?

Sharon and David will tie the knot at the Villa Ragusa in Campbell Ca. If your a blog reader, you've been given an invitation to come to the wedding. Seriously. Come. Rules are, if you can get through the bouncer, your in!

Hadoooken.
