Brianne & George :: San Jose Engagment Session

If I ever got a tattoo it would be this one.




If ever a location fit a couple/theme perfectly, it was here. Note to self, beach cruisers need to be in every one of my shoots. You guys have style. I cant wait to see what magic you have in store for the wedding. Tacos will be eaten, cakes will be cut!!!

For my female bl;og stalkers, if you need an MUA for your wedding/engagement session or any other special day, Brianne is your girl. Pure talent. :)

Also, BIG thanks to Scott Mosher for coming out to assist. He took some behind the scenes and even some REALLY great shots PJ of the couple. You always bring it dude. The only real thing wrong with him is that he shoots with a Nikon. :(

ikeed ikeed.

Happy Thursday Folks!

Jaden is the big bother. Landen is the baby. Both are destined for future studdom.
I shot this session at the family's home. I really prefer it this way with young ones.
Rather then a dress-up-and-go-to-the-park session, I suggested real session. I love it. Thanks for picking up the peaches Mom and Dad. You can use that shot in about 15 years as some major blackmail to a disagreeable teenager. ;)

On a side note, we're looking to get a dog as well. Looking at many options but ultimately need one that can handle 2 very energetic boys. Ethan (5) Jon-Paul (2-1/2)

Suggestions?

Happy Wednesday Folks.

OH, guess what!? It's my Birthday today. :)

San Jose Family Photographer :: Jeremiah

Jeremiah is the longest book in the Bible.......he's also half Persian and half Mexican.



This little dudes a stud.



Known these peeps for a long time. I met Shideh, (mom) about a week before I met my wife.
Jason, (dad) is terrible at Call of Duty. Just awful. If he's on your team, your likely to lose. He has nice speakers though. True story.
Thanks for the fun family session guys. Jeremiah did awesome!

Persians UNITE!!

Willow Heights Mansion Wedding :: Serena & Andrew

"Knock knock"

"Whose there?"

"Ser"

"Ser who?"

"Serena&Andrewgotmarried!!"

Dude, that was such an awesome intro.

So yeah, they're pretty much married farts now. THANKS for having me guys.

Serena and Andrew were married at Willow Heights Mansion in Morgan Hill. Lots of friends at this wedding as well. My wife was there even!! She pretty much loves me for my body and mad camera skills. Feelings are mutual. ;)

Big thanks to Quan for help as assistant. Quan is basically an honorary Pentecostal now.

Seriously guys, I love me some Quan. Congrats again guys. Here's to many happy years together!

Happy Friday!!

Michelle, we at Hassas Photography would like to extend our deepest apologies in advance for this image. So yeah, sorry and stuff. Any guesses on who Michelle is?

This one really convoys how a single image can go from precious to irreplaceable.
