Shea and Marvin’s Engagement Session

Filed under : Engagement by Ben and Kirin on 24-04-2008

We must be cashing in on our good karma points, cause we always seem to get the really cool clients. Shea and Marvin are wonderful people. Shea has this energy about her that just makes you enjoy her presence. It’s really cute the way she and Marvin bring out the smiles in each other.

Their wedding will be held along Mission Bay, though they wanted photos with an urban setting. Luckily, urban shots have become a forte of ours, and we found a location around the Columbia district of downtown San Diego. Many of our clients request shoots around downtown, and we like to make sure that even if the location is similar, one couples’ photos should not look just like another couple’s. Besides, each of our clients bring their own personalities and stories to a session, and it’s our duty to tell those stories. So here is Shea and Marvin’s…

Sheila and Cesar’s Wedding

Filed under : Weddings by Ben and Kirin on 24-04-2008

Sheila and Cesar envisioned a wedding where their Mexican and Filipino cultures could come together. They had mariachis as well as PASACAT Dance Ensemble perform, making their wedding memorable. It was a delight capturing all the events throughout the day.

The light was just so good in the hotel room Sheila was getting ready at, we had to feature the great shots we took there. :)

Liam and Shannon’s Wedding

Filed under : Weddings by Ben and Kirin on 24-04-2008

We had the pleasure of photographing Liam and Shannon’s wedding. Liam is a life-of-the-party kind of guy, and Shannon’s laid back, easy going personality makes them a great match for each other. Their wedding and reception were held at the popular Admiral Kidd Club. We especially enjoyed meeting their families and friends, all from the East Coast, and just a fun bunch of people. Everyone had a great time, and so did we.
