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.

Sheryl + Peter

Sheryl and Peter tied the knot in a beautiful Japanese garden under the blue California sky. To mix things up, they decided to plant a calamansi tree together during the ceremony. A filipino cuisine staple and one of our favorite ingredients!

Things got even more interesting during the reception. To get their guests fired up for the dance floor, the couple surprised everyone with a Rock Band performance. It wasn’t long until “Don’t Stop Believing” had everyone jumping and drinking the night away.

Rina + Samir

An Indian wedding is a long journey from start to finish, often spanning multiple days and numerous ceremonies. Katrina and I were lucky enough to photograph Rina and Samir’s engagement ceremony which is actually the first step in the course of the marriage. It is often one of the first times that both families get together. It’s during this opportunity that they laden the couple with jewelry and other gifts. The most important part of the ceremony is the Misri which is the exchanging of rings, signifying the beginning of the festivities to come. Here are a few quick favorite shots at the beautiful Old Ranch Country Club. Enjoy!

Stephanie + Chris

A day before Stephanie and Chris’ wedding they were worried about the slight chance of rain. To their luck, California pulled through and there was nothing but rays of sunshine and clear blue skies.

Chris started his day at a barber shop while Stephanie got ready at their home where we photographed them earlier in the year doing what they love best, drinking wine and cooking. Their wedding day, much like the weather was gorgeous and full of emotion. The couple exchanged vows amid mountains and were even given a Ring Pop as a gag by the best man during the ceremony.

Albums!

Our job is not complete until we see an album in your hands. As much as we love our iPads and high-definition televisions, nothing brings back the feeling of your wedding day as much as something tangible and with character. Your album ages with your marriage and will be an heirloom to your children and grandchildren.

All of our flush mount albums are designed in-house by us and created by the world’s top album companies. Some of these can even take up to 150 hours to complete from start to finish. That is extraordinary quality.

Your wedding day lasts once, your photos will last forever. Protect your memories.

Hannah and James’ 9 x 12 vertical engagement + wedding album slipcase combination. An elegant way to display your special day proudly.

Annika and Kunal’s 8 x 8 album. Great for engagement pictures and parent albums! Same quality, same level of beauty.

Vivian and Calvin’s 9 x 12 silk album complete with cork lining. We love how bridal the silk looks.

Sachee + Abhishek’s massive 10×10 110 page album complete with designer box. So big it had to be split into two volumes. One for them, two for their parents!

Megan and Monte’s chic calendar style 15×7 album with rice paper lining. This is a unique album!

Annika + Kunal

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

Annika and Kunal are two people that you just can’t help but fall in love with. Their warmth and genuineness captivated us since they first stepped foot into our studio and we have been looking forward to shooting their wedding ever since.

Their ceremony was held at the classic Ritz-Carlton Marina Del Rey. What happened next had to be one of the craziest dance parties we have ever witnessed. Even a surprise performance was coordinated by Kunal’s sister and his closest family and friends. The couple had great taste in music so we found ourselves even joining in the festivities. All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better day to photograph.
