We Got A Kepa!

Happy New Year Everyone!

So many events happened in latter half of last year, and we just lost track of time. We haven’t blogged in a while, so time to get back at it!

We had the pleasure of photographing some of our best friends’ engagement pictures. Our son was one of the ring bearers for the wedding, which was already an honor for us. We had a blast, being that we could just let them be themselves, and let their fun and ecstatic nature take over. Congrats to the newly Mr. & Mrs. Kepa! Here’s a quick look into our fun filled session! Enjoy!

Dulay vs Vanapruks Part II

Happy New Year All!

It’s been a crazy year in 2018. In fact, it’s been so crazy that we weren’t able to post all the events we wanted :(

But the world deserves to see the awesome people we work with!

One such event was Sarah & Justin’s engagement. As you all may know, we did their epic save the date pictures, which was transformed (special thanks to Amanda Hipolito) into a crazy fight poster!

Take a quick look into their engagement session. As you can tell, we had a BLAST!

May you all have an awesome 2019!

*Their wedding was crazy epic, but we’ll save that blog post for another time ;)

Drayden Senior Portraits

Hi All!  For the last (minute lol) senior portrait of the season, we got to work with Drayden!

I first met Drayden back when he was in elementary school.  His mom and I were college classmates, and man was it quite a difference seeing him now and remembering him back then!  He grew quite a bit (not really, more like a lot haha) and got to know him a little more during his session. 

Congrats on making it this far Dray!  Continue to prosper and looking forward to what the future has in store for you!  So lucky you get to go to Japan for your graduation present!  Dress up and go meet up with some anime fanatics while you are there!

Dulay vs Vanapruks

Happy Saturday All!

It's not too often you get called to photograph a face-off... of a different kind :)

I've been friends with Justin for a few years, ever since the first time I photographed one of his kickboxing fights.  The more I photographed combat sports, the more I was able to talk stories with him and get to know him.  Naturally, I ended up meeting his other half Sarah, who has been a huge supporter of Justin in his martial arts accolades.  She always said that we would photograph more than just fights for them... After years of being together, Justin FINALLY popped the question!  And with that, the famous #itsabouttimejustindulay hashtag was born!  Haha!

What started as a joke on Justin's end, ended up becoming reality in the form of their save the date!  Of the engagements and save the dates we have done in the past, this was the first of it's kind!  Can't wait to see this one!  Justin Dulay vs Sarah Vanapruks!  She will be fighting for his last name!  Clever and cute!  Peep a small sample guys!

*Special thanks to Amanda Hipolito for piecing the graphic design for the fight poster!

Little Sister Is A College Graduate

Happy Saturday everyone!

With graduation season finally here, we join our friends and loved ones to help celebrate their achievements!  Gosh I remember my high school and college graduations.  To see my friends and family there with me to share in the moment, it was was without a doubt, a joyous occasion!

Seeing my sister graduate with a Bachelor's degree is another one of those fine moments that I will remember for the rest of my life.  Of course, I had to get some shots in for her sake :)

Have a blessed day everyone!
