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.

Ellen + Kim

Armed with some of the best smiles we have ever witnessed, Ellen and Kim tied the knot in the hills of Los Angeles. The reception was a spectacle in itself complete with dragon dancers, dance competitions, and even a surprise performance of “Can’t take my eyes off of you” by Kim. You would be hard pressed to find an expression from either of them that doesn’t move you in some sort of way, and that in itself was our biggest inspiration throughout the day.

Tieng + Thay

Katrina and I get emotional at pretty much every wedding, but this one was an exception. Tieng and Thay have been dating for nearly a decade but you would never know it. Throughout the day everyone was fighting to hold back tears, us included! They have been one of the sweetest and nicest couples we have ever worked with and treated us like close friends since the beginning. We can’t wait to begin our little foodie adventures together.

Randa + Josh

The four of us started off our shoot with a breaktaking view of LA at the Griffith Observatory and then we made our way down to the famous LACMA lampposts for good measure. Although Josh just returned from touring around with LMFAO for three months, he didn’t seem even a little bit tired during our engagement session. In fact, Randa’s witty personality and Josh’s hilarious stories kept us laughing into the night. Their wedding at Soka University is coming up very soon and we can’t be more excited to hang out with them again.
