Mia + Bryan Wedding - Pasadena, CA

I've known Mia since high school, she's like the older sister I never had even though there's not a big difference in age. She's the first girl to pluck my brows and dye my hair, always to this day trying to make me "trendy", but nevertheless she's always an inspiration to me. Bryan is sure to be a lucky guy. Bryan & Mia got married at Villa del Sol d'Oro, Sierra Madre. It was such a beautiful venue! And Mia's planning was the type you'd only see featured in magazines. This was by far the most beautifully decorated wedding. Love you guys!

Riann & Joe E-Shoot

Another one of my good friends, Riann. She and Joe are getting married THIS WEEKEND! I got to sneak into their engagement shoot, with the world renowned master, Mr. Ja Tecson. Who, by the way, got married a couple weeks ago. Congrats Bev & Ja! And a advance congrats to Riann & Joe!

Kush, Teen and Naveen

Kush turned out to be a chubby baby boy!!! Here they (Tina and Naveen) are with 9 month old Kush Chilamula Reddy. An adorably cute, fat, heavy kid!

Pin & Jino Wedding

Pin, one of my good friends from high school, got married. What a great and memorable experience! Everyone there was fun and easy to shoot. Jino's family welcomed me openly as I shot the groomsmen, and it wasn't hard to see that Pin and Jino were made for each other. Congrats lovers!

teen n naveen expecting

i volunteered tina and naveen as a my 'expecting' project. also, it's a great way to document one of my oldest friend's first pregnancy. i don't really know how to photograph expecting parents nor do i know what my focal point should be, besides the 'bun in the oven'. i had fun, and pregnant tina was very open to all suggestions and very comfortable in her own body. it was wonderful and very easy working with them. love ya teen! thanks!

ariane's 18th birthday

This was my very first debut (a Filipino tradition where a girl becomes a woman at the age of 18). It was great and very easy to work with Ariane. She was very natural and had no problem keeping a natural smile. And it wasn't hard to see what her friends and family saw in her. She's smart, kind and beautiful; I definitely had fun shooting this event!

Happy Birthday Tina!!! more pics to come...

Here's a few pics that we didn't include from michelle's work party... *Note: Thanks to James Landas for doing all the editing and helping me out at this party!!!

These are the lovely ladies who planned this splendid party.

(Michelle, Kelly, Jawana, and Karen) can you guess what character they're suppose to be?

This was towards the end of the night. Can you tell who's faded? Also, don't you agree that bowties should come back into style?

I thought this shot would be cheesy... good call James!

Wuddup! Representin' Ja Tecson Photography! Red carpet that mug!

Karen & Michelle...

Mich considers Karen a little sister... Isn't it amazing that the bully becomes the bullied?

So whilst this shot is being taken Michelle and I are getting down on the dance floor... James says to Jawana "Let's show them how it's done!"... A' hem! Are you looking to school me again?

... we like getting faded together.

I had lots of fun at my first "semi-professional" shoot!!! Free booze are always great!!! Fantastico!!! Muy bueno!!! Excellente!!! Estupendo!!!

Thanks Mich!!!
