Wooden Canvas Prints – Woodsnap

Before this post, I just want to say that its not easy for a photographer to find a printing lab that they can trust their work in. Lets face it, there’s always possibilities of them not turning out the way you intend them to or sometimes, the medium doesn’t fully compliment the work. This wasn’t until Juliet from Woodsnap contacted and introduced me to the idea of printing on wooden canvases! I was immediately pulled towards the idea because this medium not only reflects my style but could bring out more character from my work. I’m a huge outdoor and scenic photographer. I love images of love in nature and earthy warm tones. I instantly knew Woodsnap was the perfect lab for my clients and I. Below are two studio samples I ordered. The moment they arrived felt like Christmas morning.

I just loooove how the wood enhances the warm tones in my photography and how the sky bleeds through the wood grain textures.Woodsnap uses a tattoo-like process that fuzes the ink inside of the wood, making it moist and heat resistant. This results in vibrant colors and amazing durability. This product also comes ready to hang and no framing is necessary. The beautiful trim and cut on the back edge will cast a drop shadow on walls, adding depth.

The wooden texture has an amazing look and feel. They really bring out the best in my photos.

Here’s close up. Yes, I’m in love.. hehe.

The best part: Woodsnap is ecofriendly. They teamed up with American Forest and will plant a tree for every woodsnap sold. If you like what you see, like their page and stay updated to their latest deals and prints. Believe me when I say this makes the perfect gift for family and friends. Thank you Woodsnap!

Winter Engagement in Julian

I’m stoked about this next entry. I have been waiting forever for a winter theme engagement session so believe it or not, this is my first! Yay. Being in the snow just makes everything sweeter and happier (And yes, freezing fun). It’s a perfect environment for the adorable, Tien and Eric. Even after 7 years of dating, these young love birds still have their sparks flying higher than ever. I was able to capture so many beautiful sudden laughters and eyes that read forever. They are incredible together. I couldn’t be happier to be their photographer and document this special lifetime moment. Usually, I would start my shoots around sunset hours but this time, we left San Diego to Julian at 6am for SUNRISE. It was hailing in San Diego the day before, leaving us with fresh, soft, white snow in the mountains.

Tien likes winter and Eric likes summer. She likes the cold and can’t stand the heat. He likes the warmth and … well he’ll have to deal with the cold =) Photographing in the snow is beautiful but not easy (especially when I forgot to bring my gloves). We were working in temperatures below 30 and were slapped around by icy winds. I even saw a gush of wind knocked little Tien over haha! But through all the hardships of icy roads and freezing to the point where my fingers fell off and our communication turned numb in coldness, it was the best day ever.

The sun finally decides to join us for this photo.

“Your hands are cold.”
“Your face is so cold!”
I was in heaven. Literally.
He looks like Jesse McCartney in this one!
What’s a winter shoot without cuddling? =)Tien spotted this awesome shelter to warm up in.

Ice on Ice


She said “Yes!”She actually knew a lot about dry wheat and long grasses. More reasons for him to admire her.
Getting cold at the lake… but they have body heat. I have my lovely camera body. We’re all happy.
I usually don’t do “The peek-a-boo from the tree”, but this shot actually came out pretty cute!

Winter is the best time to have a hot chocolate and famous Julian pie.

This was a fun shot, I called it “The PDA”. People behind me were coming out of their shops to witness their contagious love and cars were honking (in a good way). We love friendly towns people during a snow day!I kinda have an obsession with any type of wooden fence. Especially when I saw this one!

Now its time to wrap up the day with some fun in the snow! (Forgive me, Eric) (Tien, your welcome)

Love at Sea – Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Wedding

It’s my pleasure to introduce Marie and Duy, one of the most kind-hearted couples I’ve ever documented. When you put these two gentle and loving souls together for 10 years, you get a lifetime of happiness and bliss. Everyone has been waiting for this day for a loooong time and now that its finally here, they’ll be remembering it as a beautiful, beautiful beginning to their new lives together. We had a lot of fun with this one. I especially love their vibrant “Under the Sea” theme and wedding details. Everything just came together perfectly.

Venue: Tom Ham’s Lighthouse

DJ & Lighting: Music Freek DJ & Lighting

Aren’t these colors amazing? Sea blues against corals and purple glows.
With Tom Ham’s Lighthouse by the water, it was the perfect venue for their wedding reception. I love stealing them away for a quick sunset photo before the night begins.
Everyone’s dinner viewSo many ring shot opportunities for me at this one =)
