Engagement Part 3

These 4 photos came out awesome. Mike threw in some attitude but ultimately gave in.


Mike wanted to make sure I did some black and white shots...happy to oblige - although this is more of a sepia/blue split tone.

Here's part 3 of B and M. My goal was to get a wide variety of shots in different locations and keep things from getting boring. We found a lot of great places around the UCI campus and Balboa island. The obvious places are just flowers and plants at UCI and the water and boats at Balboa - but all the good spots are hidden away. The trick is to look for these little places and spot something interesting. I'll post that tomorrow. :) Check in daily for fresh shots.

Preview of Barb and Mike's Engagement

Just a sneak peak at Barb and Mike's e-session. They're UCI alumni so we shot there for the first half of the evening and Balboa Island the second half. I'll have more in the next few days.

There was a sea of people.


Here's me being hooded by John Dombrink.


This is an INCREDIBLE shot!

Saturday was my day to be on the other end of the camera. I'd like to thank all my family and friends for coming out on my big day. I got some wonderful gifts (some a little TOO good) and I'll be sending everyone individual thank-you cards soon but for now, this blog post will have to do. Thank you for all your support through so many years. Yes, I do feel bad for the ceremony part, which was extremely long and dare I say it - boring!!

Here are a few snaps thanks to Anisa, who received a serious crash course on how to use a DLSR but she had a little bit of help thanks to the incredible Nikon D3 - which didn't break a sweat going up to ISO 6400. I'll have a review of the camera soon. I'll also be showing a lot more pictures from that day and talk about my future plans in life in addition to photography.
