Wedding with Vanessa Joy Photography :)

This past weekend, I got the amazing opportunity to try out to be a 2nd shooter for Vanessa Joy Photography.
We were working with a group of 7! 3 photographers, 1 assistant, and 3 cinematographers. It was such a blast and I was very honored to be able to be part of such a great group! I caught some images of the wedding and I would like to share them with you :)

The day started off with a ceremony at a Buddhist Temple.




Then we got some images of the couple before the 2nd Christian Ceremony.







We're off to the 2nd ceremony!








A quick ceremony which lead to a beautiful reception :)







And my favorites for the day!!

Portraits, Portraits, & More Portraits :)

So the month of March seems to be a very very busy one for me :) And that makes me very happy!
I got to shoot 2 beautiful girls this month and had so much fun doing so! Here are some pictures from the day:

I'll first start with Tatyana's portraits. It was a little nippy outside but nothing could hinder her from getting these amazing portraits:













And a Slideshow from the day!!


Next we have Vanessa. As a gift for her, her mother decided to give her this photo-shoot as a celebration of her 16th birthday :) What better way to celebrate, then having a photo-shoot!!











I had a blast with these shoots and I can't wait for future portraits! If you wish to know more information about me and how to get a photo-shoot with me check out my website:

Wishing you all a great week!

Maternity Shoot

It all started with a beautiful idea from my cousin. She wanted to throw a surprise baby shower for her friend, Ingrid. In that baby shower my cousin wanted a picture. Just one. She wanted to blow up one picture as a gift for her friend. A beautiful picture, she said she wanted. I took that beautiful one, and another, and another. It was quite easy with such a beautiful model :)
Can't wait until little Emily is born and I get to shoot her as well!

Heather & Pat Engagement Session :)

It was a beautiful day :)

This is just a little preview of such a beautiful couple!!

Can't wait until their August wedding!!

Portraits with only 1 light source!

So all of these portraits of my friend Raquel, were done with my canon 50mm 1.8 lens. I love these lens! Plus they are cheap!!

For this blog post, I wanted to share some insight on how to shoot portraits on a budget! I don't have a studio and so I have to improvise. These portraits were done with a light that I purchased at Home Depot. My light was about $20. I put my camera on auto white balance at times and sometimes on Tungsten.

I also don't have a light stand so I used a microphone stand and hung the light from that.

My solution was very simple and it worked! At least I like to think so!

Enjoy!

Cupcakes!

So what do you do when your baby turns 6 months old? Throw him/her a party?? No! Give him a cupcake and take pictures to capture the moment!!

This is Matthew. He's my cousin. And I love him. Hope you will too :)

Enjoy!
I made it into a slide show!

and i'll leave you with my favorite of the day:

My latest Photoshoot

So I went to the park yesterday, Warinanco park & shot a beautiful couple! Kim and Kevin. Enjoy!

PS. just a little tip, when shooting outdoors you need to be very careful about the time of day! If you want the romantic look, like we have here, go for about 2-3hours before dusk until dusk. But if you want the harsh shadows, go for anytime around noon.















Happy shooting!
