December 17, 2008 Nina & Derek :: Engaged...against all odds!

Man oh man! Let's just say nothing went our way on this particulate day. One of two locations where we wanted to shoot at wasn't open when we showed up. Then when we got to our second location which was at the Santa Monica Pier, there was this major layer of fog that was engulfing the pier. But like true professionals ;) we rolling up our sleeves and went to work. Thank you Nina and Derek for being such troopers.

These have to be my favorite engagement pics. I've seen at the pier and I'm not saying that cause your our photog. or anything =) They're really unique! You'd never know you bumped into those obstacles by looking at these photos. Great job Jason, love it!

Love all the colours, just amazing! :)

Really like the 4th from the bottom where it looks like you shot the pic through a window and the Christmas lights are in the background. Also like the 2nd to last one - funny and playful =)

November 27, 2008 Mary + Phi :: Pacific Hills Banquet Hall

I had the pleasure of documenting Mary and Phi wedding in at the Pacific Hills Banquet Hall in Laguna Hills. Being at this venue brought back some fond memories for me because it was a little bit more than a year ago, Phi's sister also got married here and I was her photographer. Mary and Phi are a couple of gentle and sweetest people that I have ever had the opportunity to be around. But most importantly, their personality is so much fun and spontaneous which make them a photographer's dream. Everything went smoothly thanks to Rose and her team at Pacific Hills Banquet Hall for the beautiful details and for their coordination.

Upon returning from our honeymoon, it was such a pleasure to recapture our wedding day through the images you've so eloquently described without a word. Like reading a wonderful story only seen in your mind's imagination, I read the pictures that tell the story of two individuals sharing a gift with their friends, family and each other. We can't wait to see the rest of the set and cherish the memories. Thank you Jason for being our memory catcher.
