We first met Jaclyn and Joe during a dinner consult at Seau’s. Joe, a Naval Officer and physician (we seem to be booking a lot of doctors lately), was in town to begin their wedding planning. Jaclyn told us they loved our work because she could see and feel the emotions we try so hard to capture in our photos. I was pregnant at the time and we both started getting teary eyed talking about her big day. I told her about how overwhelming it is to see so many people you love in one place, who are there because they love you in return and want you to be happy. From that moment I knew we were going to enjoy working with them. They are two of the sweetest people ever, and keep giving us gifts for Roman even after our protesting. In return, it makes us happy to create beautiful images for them.







Just goes to show how much difference a change of angles can make.



I love the next series simply cause Jaclyn’s miss sassy side peeked through. Even the most humble woman wants to look her best in her wedding photos, and that is important to us as well. I believe one of our knacks is being able to reflect that beauty in a photo. Jaclyn is adorable AND is an engineer. I think women engineers rock.







This is why photographers love Balboa Park so much. There’s great light everywhere.



























Can’t wait till the wedding you two!

We met Dean by sheer luck at the local Farmer’s Market, as he was chatting with a couple of friends of ours. They mentioned he was engaged, we gave him our card, and several months later, we produced the photos below. We chose the trolley and train station areas downtown, given the great architecture and light flowing through the stations. Plus, we got to incorporate a bad*ss chopper into the shoot, thanks to a swell guy named James who works at the train station. James, if you ever get to see this, you rock man.

Dean and Jasmine rocked the shoot as well.





















It’s cute seeing Jasmine having to tippy toe to wrap her arms around Dean’s neck.

Candice is a close family friend of mine.  I still remember her as young girl, and now she’s a Navy officer, along with her fiance David.  Although we are not shooting her wedding (we actually get to attend for fun for once) she asked us to take her engagement photos. We happily obliged.
