It delights me to announce that Nyla and Greg are now hitched. They tied the knot in late-February and held an unforgettable and intimate wedding reception in San Diego. Not only was their marriage a union between two souls in love, but also a union between families that undeniably adore each other. This love emerged from the fusion of different traditions and from observing the heart-felt interaction shared between the unified families, I suspect a bond that will last for generations to come… It’s truly a dream combination.
One of the highlights of the wedding was Greg’s deeply moving speech that brought everyone to tears. The tear-jerker speech went something like, “You can forget what people say or what they do, but you will never forget how they make you feel.” It was evident that he was referring to his beautiful bride. :)
Nyla & Greg: Thanks for allowing me to capture the purest form of love on your special day. May this be the beginning of a lifetime filled with wonderful memories to come.
Nyla is a true beauty…

Mr. and Mrs. Babbit!


Aren’t Nyla’s “accessories” so darn cute?

Oh how I love her shoes…they match perfectly well with her awesome dress!

The families unite!

One of my favorite shots of the day…

Loving their style…

Classic. Elegant. Lovely.

The speeches begin…

Everyone needs a little bit of sunshine…

January has been a rather busy month mainly from celebrating my hubby’s 30th birthday, but now that his birthday is officially over, it’s time to get back to business! Now I would like to share with you an old shoot that I never got around posting. I took these photos of my baby sister-in-law in September when she was a week shy of her 17th birthday! I first met Elaine, endearingly known at home as Mimi, when she was barely 4 years old. Fast forward to 13 years later and now she’s walking the halls as a senior in high school. Ahhh, as cliche as it sounds, time has flown by so quickly (sighs). She has grown into a beautiful young woman with a pure heart filled of love for the world and I couldn’t be more proud of the person she has become. Not only is she one of the sweetest and most kindhearted people I know, she is also a pretty darn cool chick! Her eclectically awesome sense of style inspired me to use her as my muse and to capture her coming of age. Love you Mimi! XOXO





I recently had the pleasure of second shooting a charming wedding with Tai Tran. Love birds, Diana and Nathan, were so relaxed, organized, and fun, which made their special day unfolded beautifully. While I was assisting Diana with her traditional dress, we had some quiet time for girl talk and a get-to-know-each-other session!
From our conversation, I learned that Diana has been with Nathan for 13 years. Yes! THIRTEEN YEARS! I write this in CAPS because boy was I surprised. Coincidently, my hubby and I have been together for 13 years so usually I am the one shocking people, when I tell them this and not the other way around. It looks like we have met our match! You should have been there as Diana and I laughed hysterically in disbelief.
There is something about weddings that makes me sooo happy…the laughter, joyous tears, and simple interactions amongst family, friends, and loved ones that radiates the atmosphere just sinks my heart. Sometimes love can touch you so profoundly that you feel happiness even for those you have just met, and you feel their love for each other and it’s as if you’ve known them for a lifetime. This was evident at Diana and Nathan’s wedding; their love was visibly strong and truly inspiring. Congratulations to a beautiful couple and to 100 more years of love and joy!
