OUR LITTLE PRINCESS NICOLE

With so much excitement, I wanted to share this lovely session I had with my sweet daughter. Its been an amazing year, I can't believe my little princess is having her first birthday soon.

As a father photographer, I can't help but wait for this moment to come. I always wanted it to be super special for her. I told my wife Nicelle that I wanted a photoshoot for her, A kind of session that is been stylized and curated just like the one we saw on pinterest. It was a crazy idea, I never thought the preparation could take longer than the photoshoot. The funny thing is we prepared the whole detail and props thing for a week and we literally just did the session for 15min. It was just a little time but things turn out what I expected.

Nicole is naturally sweet and adorable. It wasn't so hard for us to have fun and enjoy the moment while we are making this moments infinite.  Me and my wife are so happy for having her. She has given us so much joy and happiness... I wanted this Ordinary day Extraordinary..HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRINCESS!!

PERSONAL : KO'OLINA

Earlier this year, We celebrated my wife's birthday in Hawaii. This time we had the chance of bringing our kids to our happy place. Although our last honeymoon was a blast for us, we still wish we could bring our kids with us. We thought it would be awesome for us to have a good time on the beaches of Hawaii. 

Me and my were happy that it wasn't the first time the kids are traveling that long. So we were confident enough we could get thru this. Well everything is not always a breeze but alt least we made it thru our destination safe and sound. This place is so beautiful enough not to disappoint us. With so much blessings, I am glad to make wonderful memories with my love ones.

THE CADAVILLO

Just when you thought everything was already in plot, the stage was already set. All of the sudden a day before, the weather forecast changed its course on a different direction. And rescheduling it was not even an option. Sometimes the only thing  that matters is just look at the bright side and enjoy the ride. Today I am featuring the CADAVILLOs. Im albeit excited coz they are new here on my blog.

I know that I have done this many times. Its just the timing was bogging me coz we don't normally get  heavy rain in California . Their trust and confidence ,gave me little boost  and prepare me to think ahead and create a contingent plan just incase worst case scenario happens. I believe that creativity comes when I am challenged. I just assure them that a cloudy, gloomy day will have soft, dreamy look to their pictures. I even show Dee some samples of different light scenario of my past shoots. Squeezing in some moment and running towards time was the best part of that day. I can't ask for a better day, it was meant for us.

It was raining frantically, the weather was cold and the ground was  wet. It could never been smooth without them. I was impressed with Dee for pulling out some awesome props and amazing preparedness with this session. This is my first time to do photo session in this area in coyote creek, but damn it was beautiful and magically enchanting.  The session just fell into everything that we had  planned for. I was so inspired by their ingenuity and transparency. It was only a brief session but all of this moments will last a lifetime. Enjoy the photos

MAGGIANO'S SAN JOSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Today Im featuring Francisco and Jacque’s wedding. As you all know It is already at the peak of summer season. And although I love the summer here in California,sometimes  its just so hot for me especially when Im working and carrying all my heavy gears.

But Anyhow as for Francisco and Jacques wedding, it didn’t bother me at all  capturing their precious moments. There are many things to described about  these couple’s wedding. As a photographer I am always into their moments, their beginnings and their processes. I only met them during  the  initial appointments and during photoshoot. And with that brief interactions, I get to know more about them and how their relationship ended up with something beautiful as their wedding.

I am a very engaging person. As busy as the day  runs. Its just my thing to asked closed friends and relatives about their history and how they made this through. I guess my instinct as a nurse stays with me even in this kind of situation.These allows me to capture moments that’s uniquely theirs. Their love story is what drives me to give more than what they deserve.And I was inspired to catch these moments and  tell everyone about  their unique love story.

This couple was amazing. I know that wedding can be both tiring and draining, but this couple made an extra effort, and because of that their wedding came out smooth and an in order till the reception. Me and my team had a wonderful time that day. We had a an awesome time witnessing such wonderful families and friends. Francisco and Jacque are blessed with such an amazing and supportive parents and very cool friends. Overall,We had fun shooting in santana row and maggianios. These are just an awesome place to get married in san jose.
