Talia & David's Engagement Photos - Downtown, San Luis Obispo, CA.

Could you believe this 12 year old boy is getting married already? Yes David is only 12 years old and to top it off, he's marrying a teacher. Just playing! I remember the first time I met David at work, I was like, where is this kid's parents? Are you lost child?" Haha! But to find out, David is a lot older than you think he is. He's traveled half of the world already, he owns a 5 bedroom house and his job consists of riding in the cockpits of F16 jets while he films. David is one of my closest friends. He's probably the nicest, simplest and the easiest person to hang out with. No complaints, no attitude, just all smiles. Now I'm glad he can share those qualities with Talia. I hope the best for them, actually I don't need to hope, I know their marriage life will last forever. Here are a few from when they came to visit me in Santa Maria.

The Lots of Funny Photobooth - COMING SOON!

So one day I had my friends over after high school to study for a test. My dad decided to order pizza for all of us and thought it would be funny to tell a story of his teenage days. Our study session became a Stand-Up comedy show by my dad. We laughed at his stories and he ended his stories by saying, "We had lots of panny back then!" You had to be there to hear it, it was hilarious! Mix my dad's loud voice and heavy filipino accent, was hysterical! He really meant to say, "We had lots of fun back then!" Ever since that day I would always tell that story to friends and family, but never thought I would use that line for anything. Sometimes when our family gets together and laugh, someone would blurt out that line out of nowhere.

I've always wanted to add a photobooth feature to my photography packages, but never could think of a name for it. I wanted something funny, crazy, and hysterical, because I wanted that same outcome in the pictures. What better than my dads line, right? This photobooth will not be your typical photobooth you see at the mall where you sit down, put money in, wait for the countdown and voila! My photobooth will fit tons of people, with better quality light and pictures and the best part is...wait for it...PROPS! I'm going to have tons of props to accompany your photos for that special day. Then you can tell people, "We had Lots of Funny at our wedding day!" LOL!

Can't wait!

Sneak Peek: Lola + Luis' Wedding Day

Just for a tease, coming soon!

Slade Hale - Senior Pictures - Santa Maria, CA.

What happens when you work at Pier 1 Imports sometime in your life? Well, you work with the sweetest, caring, and nicest people ever. I worked at Pier 1 Imports twice in the last 4 years, not only to make a little extra cash, but to work with such wonderful people. Jeanne was one of those sweet ladies that work there. She was always supportive and always a great person to talk to. Ask her about her love life, it's amazing. During this summer, her grandchildren came down to visit her all the way down from Oregon. Her Grandson, Slade, who is becoming a senior this year happen to be one of her grandchildren to visit. Jeanne thought it would be a cool idea to take his Senior Pictures while he was here. It's nice to know that my picture is going to land on some yearbook somewhere in Oregon! Oh, thanks Nick for bringing the hot rod out there!

Kat & Scott's I Do - San Diego, CA. - The Hyatt at the Bay

Back to my old stomping grounds, A Whale's...nevermind, San Diego. The home of the carne asada fries, nice weather, the night life and beautiful people. Well, I wasn't there for any of that this time. I was there for a special day for two wonderful people, Kat and Scott. I've known Kat since high school and who knew she would meet someone from the other side of America. The ceremony was sweet and the reception was fun, filled with old friends and family. Enjoy!
