Ever had one of those days that you had been looking forward to for quite awhile and as that day came closer it actually became further and further away? Well I’m not sure if Monique and Leo felt that way about yesterday but I sure did! After a little bit of bad luck with the normally sunny Southern California weather, a change in location due to some unforeseen problems and a little bit of conflict in our schedules we were finally able to sneak in Monique and Leo’s engagement session yesterday. I had also thought that we had struck gold with the weather since the day started out great with some beautiful 80 degree temps and cloud free skies! That, however, quickly took a turn in the opposite once the sun started setting and the chilled air started to rear it’s head. Fortunately though, Monique and Leo (and my lovely assistant Julie of course) were troopers about it and stuck it out till the end even though it was becoming bitterly cold. Okay, maybe not quite bitterly cold but it was cold enough since there wasn’t a jacket or sweater to be seen on any of us. But anyways, that’s enough from me. On to the photos, Enjoy!










Just this last weekend two very close friends of mine tied the knot and I had the honor of not only being a part of the wedding but I also had the distinct pleasure of shooting it as well! Now while I’m sure it’s not a first for someone to be part of a wedding as well as photographing it, I was asked to cover Tean and Chanda’s shortened traditional Cambodian Ceremony on Friday morning before participating as one of the groomsmen during the Western Ceremony on Saturday. And while this was not my first time as a Cambodian Wedding Photographer it was definitely a first for me to shoot a wedding and then participate in it!

Now before I jump ahead to the photos, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Tean and Chanda as I am truly happy for them. Over the last 9 years that I’ve known Tean and Chanda they’ve been some of my closes friends who have always been there for me when I have needed them. And while I can tell you that words can’t describe what that truly means to me, I can tell you they have showed me what the true meaning of what friendship really is. And for that, I am truly thankful. Thanks guys.

To love, friendship and a long healthy life together. Congratulations once again Tean and Chanda! I hope you enjoy your photos!
