i miss my camera =(

my dearest readers,

i had to leave my precious camera at the canon service department today. it'll be undergoing a major heart transplant surgury. but i'm hopeful that after it recovers, it will be as good as the day i brought it home. but unfortunately i'll be without a camera for two weeks!

can't wait to get it back! i'm even thinking about bringing home a brother for him! =)

it's wierd being without a camera! is a photographer still a photographer if he doesn't have a camera? is a fisherman still a fisherman if he doesn't catch any fish? and if a man and a woman are arguing in the woods...and nobody is around to hear it...is he still wrong? seriously!

lol...i'm just tired =) and these silly thoughts are running through my head :D

gotta busy day tommorow! goodnight :)

"Hot" on Rodeo Drive

















hello me dear readers,





had a wonderful engagement shoot yesterday!



we got some great shots on rodeo drive with sarah and michael. the cute couple will be getting married on the beach in dana point at the end of september. they met years ago in thier hometown. here are some pics =)




the shoot went great...but unfortunately we were hassled by "the man" =)




well...what else is new when i go out and shoot lol!




security was on us like white on rice!




maybe it was because britney spears was rumored to be shopping at the versace store. there was papparazzi everywhere, and everybody thought i was one too =)







but in the end...i think we got some great shots. i'd never done a shoot on rodeo drive before. in fact i hadn't even been there before.




there were lots of great places to take pictures.




here we have the couple posing next to a million dollar mercedes! now if that isn't a kodak moment i don't know what is =)
only in LA ;)

three weddings in a row completed! woooohoooo =) i'm exhausted!






dear readers,






wow...i just completed my third wedding in a row yesterday. and yes...it took me this long to recover =) i'm exhausted and there's not a part of me that doesn't ache. even my finger ache! but...alas, it was well worth it! I have some amazing shots this weekend!






here's just a few from my last wedding...




helly and aaron (aka. homer) celebrated thier union at the world famous wayfarer's chapel in palos verdes. we also had a chance to shoot at the beautiful ritz carlton pasadena thanks to the awesome coordinator cathy chen of c3weddings.com




it was an emotional day for the young couple, full of laughter and tears. i had the great fortune of meeting thier friends. and if you can measure a person's quality by the kinds of friends they keep, then they both must be exeptional people =)


they will be on thier way to tahiti shortly for thier honeymoon!


we wish them lot's more joy and happiness in the future!
