For this bridal shoot, one of my best friends Stacey modeled as a bride for me to showcase two bouquets made by Creative Floral Designs. For those who know her, please don't freak out saying, "She's getting married!!" The key word is "modeled", so hold onto your celebrations :) 

This was another fun shoot!

This is the bouquet I requested for the shoot.

This is another bouquet that they offered to give me since they were done using it for a bridal show. I'm so glad that they gave this one to me because it fit so well with Stace!

I'm Asian, she's Caucasian. I ask for peace sign, she give peace sign. :)

I love capturing photos that display the subject's personality!

Thank you again Stacey for being such the model, and Creative Floral Designs for the floral arrangements :)

See you soon.

I am so very excited to show you my first ever bridal inspiration shoot!
This shoot was taken over two days, and boy have these past two days of shooting the lovely "inspiration bride" Amberie been such a wonderful experience!

Special thanks to The Daily Blossom Florist for the bouquet, Ashley Belloso for the hair and makeup (wish there was more time on day one to get a better picture of your work) and Amberie for being such a beautiful model bride!

Please enjoy, because I sure did! :)

Pomegranate. I had no idea how delicious it is until this year.

If you haven't tried them before, do so. Please.

This morning my husband and I attempted to run to a nearby spot from home that I had in mind. During that run which turned into a run-walk, we realized that we underestimated the difficulty in getting there and also overestimated our capability to do so, given that it was our first time running in who knows how long.

Nonetheless we had a great time. On our way back home we found a little branch ornamented with beautiful Eucalyptus leaves. :)

We had a nice start of the week, happy Monday!
