Our inspiration for picking up the camera has and always will be our couples. Katrina and I have been fortunate enough to not only have these people accept us to document the most important day of their lives, but also to accept us to be their friends and family. Your stories are our life.

Brandon started his photography career in college when he joined the school newspaper. A passion for capturing real moments and telling the story led him to become the photography editor and win several awards for his coverage within only a year. Shortly afterwards he began shooting weddings with Katrina using this same style. The rest is history.

Gale + Caspar

Photographed by Brandon Wong and Katrina Santos. Written by Brandon Wong\

Many of our couples are extremely detail oriented, just like ourselves. Gale takes that characteristic to another level. She even picked her outfits according to the color palette, wind speed, and light of each engagement session location. I think we fell in love with this couple after we heard that.

Because of their meticulous nature, Katrina and I have to admit that we were also a little nervous. After shooting for almost eight hours at five locations though, we felt pretty confident that we had some incredible images. Gale and Caspar are getting married this weekend at the legendary Terranea. We’re counting down the hours until we get to photograph their epic day.

Ginny + Harpreet

The first time we saw Ginny and Harpreet, I saw them in a BMW rushing down in front of San Francisco City Hall. They jumped out of their car, handed me the keys, and ran inside to make their appointment to receive their marriage license. After that we went to a bar and indulged in a few glasses of Scotch before starting the shoot. Katrina and I knew at this point that we were going to have one hell of an awesome day.

The session turned out even more fun than we imagined. We ended the night getting even more drinks overlooking the sparkling Bay Bridge at Americano. If we had this much fun with Ginny and Harpreet in only a few hours then we can’t imagine how incredible of a weekend their wedding is going to be.

Erica + Jonathan

Photographed by Brandon Wong and Katrina Santos. Written by Brandon Wong\

Erica and Jonathan are one of those rare couples that act like they’ve just found love for the first time every single time we see them. They are completely head over heels for each other and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Erica is a lighting designer and Jonathan is a Hollywood producer. When the wedding came along we were honestly a little nervous since they both are so hugely successful in their creative fields. When we first stepped into the room though all of that tension left us when we were greeted with one of the most hospitable families and bridal parties we’ve ever met. Their love in tandem with Erica and Jonathan’s bubbly personalities made their special day one of our favorites.

Thanks to the Langham in Pasadena gave us stunning backdrops to photograph at. Make sure to check out their slideshow here or by scrolling to the bottom of the post.

Mandie + Marty

It’s surreal to think that our job takes us to some of the most beautiful destinations around the world. A few months ago Katrina and I were in Mexico having drinks, laying out by the sun, and having conversations with two amazing families that were about to become one.

Mandie and Marty have the biggest hearts out of anyone we’ve ever met, and also some of the best dance moves. Our week in paradise climaxed at one of the craziest parties we’ve ever witnessed. Unfortunately, some a bit even too crazy that we couldn’t post it on here! If you want to view the full experience, check out their slideshow here or by scrolling to the bottom of the post.

Jenn + Seong

Photographed by Brandon Wong and Katrina Santos. Written by Brandon Wong

If there’s one thing that Jenn and Seong like to do, it’s eat. It was one of the first engagement sessions where we talked predominantly about food for the majority of the session. We shared our favorite restaurants, chefs, and most importantly, where we were going to eat that night. With grumbling stomachs we eventually picked Ong Dal 2, which was a Korean restaurant unlike any other and now a new favorite of ours.

A huge thanks to Jenn and Seong for doing whatever we asked them to do, even if it meant climbing over a fence and sitting on the edge of a cliff for us. We can’t wait for the wedding coming up in less than a month!
