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.

Hannah + James

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

If there was one thing James and Hannah wanted for their wedding, it was for it to be at Pelican Hill. After booking the venue a mere two months before their proposed date, the couple took on the nearly impossible task of planning and created a beautiful wedding nothing short from perfect. From the day we met Hannah and James, we knew that they were romantics. James was even daring enough to “graffiti” on rocks overlooking the Monterey cliffs during his proposal, which you can see from their engagement with us here. If writing on rocks wasn’t enough, James sent Hannah six dozen red roses during the morning and then surprised everyone with a sky writer who spelled out J “hearts” H. The celebration didn’t stop until their after party at a local brewery where we all danced and celebrated until the wee hours of the night.

Special thanks to Laurie Davis from Five Star Weddings for doing an amazing job coordinating the wedding.
