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.

Shanghai


the first thing i did in shanghai was update my blog about hong kong. little did i know the second after i updated my blog it became blocked from my network (and probably china’s). i’m a little disappointed and frustrated that my scarce relatives in china won’t be able to catch up with me now, but i’ll get china back sooner or later *shakes fists*

besides that shanghai was a blast. my dad’s older brother uncle tim let us stay at his penthouse which had a sweeping view of the city. he took my dad and i to eat local foods, visit the SWFC, and more.

Hong Kong, Redux


never, ever, leave your camera at home whether it’s raining, a tornado, or some other catastrophic occurrence. when you don’t have your camera that can only mean one thing: you can’t take a picture. it has been raining heavily for the past few days in hong kong so my spoiled sun dried california self was too afraid to take my camera out. these pictures were taken during the first and only dry day here. i am now in shanghai and will be continuing my adventures for the next couple days before returning.


  • gilagirl: Brandon-

    I love all your photos.

    ALWAYS take pictures- they keep turning out amazingly!

    Keep it up,
