I love when I show up to a photo session and am welcomed by clients who are decked out and prepared for a photo shoot. That's exactly what happened with Ephraim, his wife Sanoe and their little bunch. Not only were they adorably color coordinated, but they also brought their family members along to assist and of course for the moral support ;) Thank you Ephraim and Sanoe for allowing me to capture your beautiful family!

Seal Beach Engagement Session: Sam & Brooklyn

Seal Beach Engagement Session: Sam & Brooklyn
Thursday, March 7, 2013
Read post

As I have mentioned briefly in previous posts, I recently got married last May (not sure if that's still considered recent?). During that busy time of wedding preparations, I was still doing what I love and that is taking photos. I love of all of my clients and feel each of their sessions are equally special and unique, so although I'm a bit late (ok, Samoan time.lol) sharing their photos with the online world, I will still be featuring them on the bloggity blog :) .


Sam and Brooklyn met through mutual friends in their early 20's and have stayed attached ever since. Fast forward 16 years later and they finally made the decision to tie the knot. Capturing a couple's love unfold in front of my camera is always magical, but to also be able to document a bride-to-be who is expecting their firstborn child was even more special. They decided to take their engagement pictures at one of their favorite places to hang out which was Downtown Seal Beach. Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session.

Check back for favorites from their wedding day.

It wasn't too long ago when I first saw my engagement pictures. Even after I purchased my wedding dress, it didn't feel as official until I saw my engagement photos. That's when it all hit me that I was actually getting married. I'm guessing that is exactly what Sharmaine will be feeling when she sees her engagement photos for the first time. I love the colors that Tui and Sharmaine chose to wear to their engagement session and especially the location that they both decided on. I can only imagine what their wedding is going to be like. I am confident that everything will turn out beautifully!! Here are some of my favorites from their engagement session at the South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes. Thank you Tui & Roni for a great session. Can't wait til' May!!
