Here are some shots of our great models, who helped us out with our vendor shoot.

After a week of back-to-back photo shoots, colds, and sniffles, something wonderful happened. One of our former brides sent us a thank you package, inside it was a copy of the “Last Lecture by Randy Pausch” and a lovely handwritten note.

This package followed a touching phone call from her where we caught up with each other. You see, her and her now husband were one of our premiere couples—couples that took a chance with this new venture of ours and trusted us with their most precious day.

I’ve since come to find out that her and her husband were inspired by the leap of faith and Al and I took and have since started their own music production company.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?

Just a quick snippet from her thank you note:

“You and alfred are an inspiration to us. you are a great example of a couple following their dreams and using God’s giving gift. There is a reason you came into our lives. I may not have known it at the time, but God works in mysterious ways.”

Now that’s better than chocolate. Moments like this make everything worth doing.

P.S. Are you a blog stalker? Why don’t you become a facebook stalker as well? We’re on facebook!

Here are the shots from a recent photo shoot we did to fill the portfolio needs of some great vendors.

I’d also like to give a shout-out to our wonderful models A&E who were so awesome. They are a real couple, by the way. At first, we were going to hire models, but we thought about it and decided we wanted to use a real couple for genuine emotion.  I’ll blog pictures from their personal shoot soon.

This shoot definitely took a village.

From left to right: ME!, SSS (second shooter Shine), Models E&A, Rhoda Icasiano, and the mother of our faux-bride. Emma behind the lens.

Emma here. Some shots from my mini shoot with one of my favorite guys—the Spence-meister.

P.S. Let me know what you think of our new mini-logo. Yes? No?

Pao is my sister-in-law’s best friend, so when we found out they were getting hitched…Emma and I were giggling inside in the anticipation of their nuptials. Because we really do love weddings.

They had a simple wedding ceremony at the San Francisco City Hall, followed by a dinner reception where I stuffed myself with yummy cake.
