Kim & Ryan's Wedding | Courtyard D'Oro, Old Sac

Last weekend I got a chance to capture Kim & Ryan's wedding ceremony in Old Sac at Courtyard D'Oro. It was my first time at this venue and first time meeting Kim as well. Having ran 40 mins late for my own wedding a year ago and forgotten my husband's wedding band in the hotel room, I have to say this was the calmest wedding I've been to, not to mention one of the prettiest. The colors Kim chose for the bridesmaid's dresses were GORGEOUS!!! Kim had the cutest girl with large brown eyes, straight black hair wearing the prettiest flower girl dress. Everything about this wedding was beautiful; so soft and feminine, classy and tons of details! Enjoy!

Venue: Courtyard D'Oro - Old Sacramento

Officiants: Nancy and Harold Allen

Flowers: Sandis Allcut with Sandis Design
Bridal Hair: Thu Vo with Creative Glamorista 

Saturday Morning at the Park with Nikos, Lola'Santana and Izzy!

Couple weeks ago I got a chance to meet Shinya's beautiful children who are Nikos, Lola'Santana and Izzy. I immediately fell in love with Izzy and her cute little hands and feet and smile. As for Lola' Santana, she is just a beautiful little girl with large, bright eyes and an adorable face to match them. Her brother, Nikos, was so easy to work with. He just hold the girls and smile and look wherever I needed him too.

What beautiful children you have, Shinya!
I hope you enjoy the photos.

Couple Photos | Xuan & Phil

It's been a while since I update the blog. I've been spending a lot of time creating more amazingly fun photos and designing my website, which is now live by the way. You can visit at www.twotwentyphotos.com. In the meantime, I want to share with you some of the photos I took this past Saturday of Phil & Xuan. Apparently Phil owed Xuan a favor so she was able to persuade him to come out.

I hope you enjoy the photos. These two are absolutely adorable on camera and off!

Portraits | Chuck Chance

I had to laugh each time I think about the conversations Chuck and I had.  He is my first "official" male client. As you might have noticed by now, all of my shoots so far are with women. For ladies, my objective is to create beautiful enchanting images as though they come out of a fairytale. For Chuck, however, I had to change it up a bit.

When asked what is the objective for the shoot, he told me he just want pictures that will make him look handsome. In addition, he'd like some professional-looking photos as well. When I heard this, my mind automatically think, "Suits!" I've seen some amazing photos of those before and was so happy to have to opportunity to create some of my own. Here are the results.  

Of course, no photoshoot is complete without a  casual pose. From this angle, doesn't he look a bit like David Beckham?
