  • Esther & Sam's Engagement

    About a month ago, Daniel and I met Esther and Sam for their engagement session down by the beautiful Philadelphia Museum of Art. These guys were such a treat to work with and we instantly connected with the two of them during our shoot together! Not only are they funny, laid back, and incredibly gracious people, Esther and Sam are so photogenic and make one ridiculously good looking couple! And don't get me started on Esther's adorable red dress and her long flowy hair! Just gorgeous!

    Two weeks after their engagement session, Esther and Sam were married down in Princeton, NJ. We can't wait to share the photos from their beautiful wedding, but in the meantime, enjoy the photos from their awesome engagement session!

    Esther and Sam, we had so much fun getting to know you guys and we're so happy that you two are finally married and enjoying newly wed life! Cheers!

  • Judy & Wilson are married!

    It's been almost 2 years since Daniel and I have been shooting together, and although we've learned and experienced a ton so far, we still consider ourselves to be very tiny fish in the giant sea of professional photography. That's why we were so flattered and honored when Judy and Wilson (a talented photographer himself) requested that they fly us all the way out to California to shoot their wedding. We totally jumped at this opportunity and considered this to be our first "destination" wedding shoot!

    Although we personally did not know Judy and Wilson prior to their wedding, as soon as we met them, we could have sworn we were long time friends from another lifetime. These guys were so incredibly friendly, welcoming, and gracious to us, and we were so honored when they extended an invitation to us to be a part of their rehearsal dinner! Honestly, we felt more like their wedding guests than their vendors!Judy and Wilson's wedding day went beautifully.

    Besides the incredibly hot weather and the temporary power outage during the reception, Judy and Wilson were glowing with anticipation and happiness and didn't let any of the small stuff get to them. Judy looked stunning in her dress and the bridesmaids looked gorgeous in their beautiful purple gowns. Wilson looked strapping in his tux, and when the two of them came together, they made one hot husband and wife!

    From the family choir dedications to the wonderful best man and maid of honor speeches, the day could not have been filled with more laughter, love, and celebration. Finally, we ended our day together by doing a series of sunset photos behind the reception hall. We loved how we had a gorgeous view of the bay area in the background.

    Congratulations Judy and Wilson on your marriage and it was such an honor for us to come out to capture your wedding day!

  • Yoojin's Maternity Session + Baby Jessie

    Remember Yoojin's baby shower several weeks ago? Well, get ready for a 2 for 1 deal because here are Yoojin's photos from her maternity session and the arrival of baby Jessie!

    During their maternity session, Yoojin looked beautiful, cheerful, and glowing with motherhood and Jimmie, a very happy and proud father-to-be! As you can see, Yoojin was quite possibly the tiniest pregnant woman ever and you have to look closely to see that she is with child! Personally, I think I look more pregnant after eating a big meal than she does at 8 months, haha!

    Nine days after the shoot, Yoojin gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Jessie. Jessie was 5 pounds and 11 ounces of adorableness and Jimmie and Yoojin coudn't have been more happy for the arrival of their bundle of joy!

    Congratulations Jimmie and Yoojin on the birth of your first child and we can't wait to watch Jessie grow over the years!

  • Mark & Beanne are married!

    Mark has been a good friend of ours for the past 4 years. When you first meet Mark, you cannot help but laugh at his ridiculously cheesy puns,his inner nerdiness, and his obsession with "lasers" (spoken like Dr.Evil). He has always been the friend to cheer you up, the first one to lend a helping hand, and one of the most talented event planners we know! It's no surprise to us that Mark was able to turn a simple backyard wedding idea into one of the most beautiful and intimate ceremonies we've been to. Seriously Mark, you should really consider becoming a professional wedding planner!

    Seeing Mark and Beanne being united as husband and wife was such a precious and beautiful moment to witness. Mark absolutely adores Beanne to pieces, and we certainly cannot blame him! Beanne is such a beautiful woman with a sweet smile, tender heart, and sunny personality! These two are definitely meant to be!

    Mark and Beanne's wedding was full of love, laughter, and tears. From all the family members helping out during the wedding, to the touching speeches shared during the reception, you could not help but feel the love and strong connection of family and friends throughout the entire event. The food was amazing, the entertainment was great, and Daniel and I were honored to be both the photographers and guests at their wedding!

    Cheers to Mark and Beanne! We're so happy for you both and may your marriage be abundantly blessed for years to come!

  • Yoojin's Baby Shower!

    Our friends Jimmie and Yoojin are expecting their first baby girl to arrive in just a few weeks, so we were honored when they asked us to do a series of photo shoots for them. The series includes their baby shower, maternity, hospital arrival, and newborn photos!

    Our first session starts with Yoojin's delightful baby shower, complete with fun games, tiny clothing, delicious food, and great company. Jimmie was the perfect host during the shower, grilling up mouth-watering burgers and hotdogs outside on the deck while the girls squealed away at all the adorable baby gifts that were being opened. What a great husband!

    Congrats Jimmie and Yoojin on your pregnancy and we can't wait until we meet your bundle of joy!

    P.S.- Maternity photos coming soon! Stay tuned!

  • Krista & Dan are married!

    Daniel and I were given the wonderful opportunity to capture Krista and Dan's wedding at Shelter Island, NY back in May. Some of you may recall that Shelter Island was where we shot Kristen and Dave's wedding last year, which was our first wedding shoot ever! It's crazy to look back and see how much has happened in just 1 year!

    Krista and Dan are such wonderful, full of life type people who definitely know how to throw an amazing wedding! Although there was a little rain on their wedding day, it didn't stop Krista, Dan, and their guests from letting lose, striking poses, and having a great time. We must say that their reception was by far one of the most wildest and humorous celebrations we've been to this year! All we gotta say is, when "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" came on, there was a full on serenade to the bride by half dressed groomsmen. Hilarious!

    Congratulations Krista and Dan on your wedding! May you both celebrate each day of your marriage together for years to come!

  • Ivy & Young are married!

    You know it's wedding season when you start to see our blog postings slow down. Still, that's not an excuse and we will try to make it a point to update more often between our shoots! :)

    It was truly an honor for us to shoot Ivy and Young's wedding in April. The weather was ridiculously nice that day (and a pretty hot one for Spring) and the ceremony could not have been more perfect. We especially loved how the ceremony music was played by all of Ivy's young family members. And of course, Ivy and Young looked stunning and so happy together on their special day!

    Congratulations Ivy and Young! You guys are such a sweet couple and we truly wish you the best!

  • The Archibald Family

    A few weeks ago, we had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Carmit, George, and their son, Jacob's family portrait session in Central Park. When Carmit first approached us and asked if we could do their maternity/baby/family portrait session, we were excited to photograph such a precious opportunity! Nothing is more beautiful than capturing the love shared between a husband and wife, their adorable child, and a baby along the way.

    Thanks to the Archibald family for allowing us to be a part of your afternoon!

  • Happy Birthday Maxx!

    A couple weeks ago, we spent a wonderful afternoon taking photos for Joohyon and Gunn's adorable baby boy, Maxx, for his upcoming 1st birthday! Not only did Maxx seem to take a liking to electronics (a.k.a our big cameras), he's also quite the ham when it comes to getting his pictures taken. This little one practically gave us a different expression for each frame! We swear Maxx has done modeling before!

    Thanks to the Doo family for giving us such a fun and entertaining shoot! Happy Birthday Maxx!
