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.

Dawn + Jack | Proposal

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

Jack is a fellow photographer and contacted us to photograph his proposal to Dawn less than week before it was actually going to happen.

When we finally reached the “special” peak of Griffith Park, Jack pulled out his vintage Polaroid Camera and took a photograph of Dawn. Instead of looking at a portrait of herself she was instead surprised by a drawing of a ring. Behind the polaroid was Jack on his knees asking her to be together for the rest of their life. Witnessing their engagement was such an emotional journey for Katrina and I and we were just happy to be there for them to document it.

The four of us ended up grabbing some Thai food afterwards and concluded the night by explored Hollywood Boulevard and the W Hotel for some more portraits. Since Jack is a wedding photographer and Dawn is a wedding designer I can’t even imagine how amazing and unique their wedding will turn out to be. Once again, congratulations Dawn and Jack. We’ll be ready to workout to Insanity in the very near future.
