Super fun weekend in the Bay area :). Just a few frames…
Tami and Marc got married in Santa Barbara two years ago and earlier this year, invited 10-month old Scout into their home and hearts. I met Tami while working as an intern for the Clippers and she was a member of the Fan Patrol team. She’s been so thoughtful to remember and refer me to her friends for wedding photography. I met Marc for the first time yesterday for their portrait session, and he’s super cool, easy-going, and fun to talk to (helps that he loves the NBA too!).
A few months ago, Tami messaged me about doing a portrait session for their holiday cards. We met up in Orange County yesterday and along with current Fan Patrol member Summer, we had a blast hanging out in the fields of Laguna Beach. Thanks again Tami, Marc, and little Scout for spending the afternoon with me :). Please enjoy the photos, and hopefully we’ll all see each other again at an upcoming Clippers game!
Helen + Phong’s Engagement Session – The beauty about being a wedding photographer, especially in Southern California, is there’s really no off-season/down time. Even in months between November and March, there’s weddings, meetings, and certainly engagement sessions. I personally love portrait sessions in the Winter time because the light just seems to be more crisp, there’s lesser people at the popular locations, and things just tend to be more relaxed versus other times of the year.
It’s even more fun when you work with couples as easy-going as Helen and Phong. I met them a few months ago and it’s been nothing but a joy getting to know these two. Helen and Phong met a decade ago at McDonald’s. She was working there part-time and one day, Phong walked in to order some food, saw her, and ended up getting a job there just so he could hang out with Helen. Little did they know they would be marrying each other one day :).
I don’t know what’s more awesome, being together for 12 years or meeting at McDonald’s. Nevertheless, Helen and Phong are still madly in love and are tying the knot in March. From candies and french fries to dodging security and braving the cold weather in the fields, I had a great time working with Helen and Phong. Congrats you two, be sure to bring a few Chicken McNuggets and McFlurries to your wedding :). Please enjoy the sneak peek!
