Engagement Story: Jen & Kris

I wanted to do something a little different for Jen and Kris’s engagement shoot. I drafted a little photo story for them. It’s about overcoming small mishaps to find each other, cheesy and cute – just like them.

Sunrise & Rodson

Sunrise was one of  really fun loving and curious bride. We had to keep her away from the window so no one can see her peeking out and doing her spy thing.

Rosana & Jeremy

Jeremy and Rosana are dear friends. For his wedding, Jeremy (also a photographer) wanted to have a classic shoot on a boat. The wind was a little rough, but the photos are one-of-a-kind.

Head Shots: Actor Mike Howard

Mike Howard asked to me to update his head shots as his current ones were really out-dated. I was thrilled to shoot him and wanted to capture his vibrant personality and intensity onto these photos. Mike can switch on like a chameleon and bring out very different moods. I think we accomplished our goal and did him some justice.

Makeup by Van Pham, who did a superb and flawless job.

Jen and Kris

Jen and Kris are such a happy go-lucky couple that I had to find something playful and fun for their special wedding. I settled for a shoot on an active merry-go-round or carousel. It was one of the most fun I’ve had on a shoot, and no I didn’t get to ride it.

Head Shots: Suzanne

These are more than head shots as they can fit into portraits as well. Suzanne had an alluring film quality to her so we did some more dramatic poses. She has an amazing voice is currently working in the Washington DC area.

Head Shots: Genevieve

Genevieve is an adorable and energetic stage actress in the Washington, DC area. I took these on my trip there a few years ago and the aim was to bring her energy and playfulness through a few snap shots.
