As the dark clouds and heavy showers pasted on by, the day could not have been more beautiful for a wedding. Thank you so much Junko & Jared for allowing me to be a part of your amazing wedding day. May your new journeys ahead be filled with lots of happiness, lots of love and who knows, maybe lots of kids too.........lol! Best wishes.

Here something I do not usually do but I could not resist sharing this with all of you. Everyone, meet Anri and Dave. I was ecstatic when they asked me to shoot a maternity session for them but when the day came so did the rain. In this situation I would normally reschedule but because Anri was expecting at any mintue.....rescheduling was totally out of the question. Thank goodness we were blessed with an hour of sunshine and we made it happen. Thank you Anri and Dave for allowing me to be a part of this special moment in your lives. Also CONGRATS!!! on the new addition to the family.

DULCE DULCE DULCE!!! I would like to take a sec here to thank the guys at Dulce Photo for accepting me as one of their own. I am truly excited and proud to represent Dulce and to kick things off I want to share a very special and unforgettable Dulce wedding with you all.
Cindy & Neal did not take no short cuts when it came to their big day. Their golf themed wedding day was filled with a Cinderella horse & carriage, butterflies and even classic cars. Thank you Cindy & Neal for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day and thank you Dulce for helping me to show the world what I see from behind the lens.

Krista & Dave

November 15, 2008

Often times I reminisce about how I really got into wedding photography. I think my interest was sparked when my cousin shot my engagement photos. Not really realizing what we were doing my wife Dianna and I were totally blown away by these totally amazing photos. Long story short, on my journey to becoming a wedding photographer I met a guy I will never forget, Johnny Phayakoun. Johnny pretty much opened the doors for me and things just took off from there.
So when Johnny asked me to assist him on Krista & Dave's big day, I was honored. Krista and Dave were such a cool couple. Although their ceremony was met with a few dark clouds, the day could not have turned out better. Much mahaloz to Krista & Dave for being such troopers on their wedding day, and a HUGE MAHALOZ to Johnny for giving me that nudge in the right direction.

I have been to San Francisco many times before but this time was truly special. I felt so lucky when Lauren and Kwang asked me to photograph their wedding day. The day couldn't have been more perfect for a wedding, clear skies, the sun was out and the air was crisp. Their ceremony was held at a beautiful little church called Lincoln Park Presbyterian. I just wanna thank Lauren and Kwang for being such a cooperative couple and an even bigger thanks for being such AWESOME hosts. Your wedding was beautiful and I'll always think of you guys now when I visit the city by the bay.



Oh! 1 more thing, the music to their slide show is dedicated to Lauren....SF's #1 Kdrama fan...lol!!

I just wanted to share a few portraits I shot at a recent wedding I did with my friend, Hiko Arasaki. I always thought it was cool that people are able to express their moods and feelings through simple facial expressions. What I love is capturing those expressions , freezing that moment in time through a photo.
