Casa Real Wedding :: Tinna & Wally

Quan wore an Optimus Prime mask. I was Bon Jovi........sand edition.

Here's another from 09' that's finally making it to the blog. Shot this spectacular wedding for some of my favorite clients, Tinna & Wally. So I've shot a good number of weddings at The Palm Event Center. THIS one is at their sister site, Casa Real. SUCH a great place to be married at. Top notch service and as romantic as it gets!

Tinna, your the pinnacle of the beautiful bride. Wally, you and your boys are hilarious. I wish I could post everything we shot here in public but alas, my blog is rated G. Good times.

Big thanks once again to Quan for helping as second shooter here. You'd think I liked the guy or something. Quan if your reading this while still in Vietnam, bring me back a pearl drink.

Cheers folks. Happy Tuesday.

Tinna & Wally :: San Jose Engagement Session

Tinna and Wally hitch this coming October 31st. Yeah, Halloween. I about begged them to pass out Dracula teeth to the bridal party. Do me a favor and leave a comment below letting them know how crazwesome it would be.
This set was very fluid. Good match between these 2. They love each other. I know that's not deep but.......it is. Good chemistry between a couple is so cool.

Smoke in the last frame was provided by a smoke bomb. It's one of my everyday tools anymore. ;) Bomb was lit by Wally. Dudes got skills. Light, run and pose. Man of many talents folks

For those with wedding sets coming upo, thank you for the patience. It's gonna be a blog-a-thon in the next week.
10' is looking great as well. I think I'm shooting more out of California then in. :) I'm at 18 weddings booked. I plan on capping at 35 this next year. Come book while theres still ti.......

Thanks for the look friends. Happy Tuesday.

San Jose Engagement Session :: Ashley & Justin

It rained again. I brought an umbrella and my mad skills. You need both to shoot in the rain. For serious.

Ashley teaches 4th grade which makes Justin a ........wait for it........ cop. At the rate I'm going, I'll have shot the entire Bay Area Police force. (I think I'm at 7 police officer grooms). The wedding is in July at Casa Real in Pleasanton. (where Tinna and Wally got married) It's seriously one of the best places in the East Bay to get hitched. They are a class act.

Big thank you to Henry for help as assistant for this shoot as well. Seems to me we all got soaked. All for a worthy cause right? :)

Much love. Happy Tuesday everyone.
