Kanice and Lawrence are from Hong Kong and while in CA they set up a session with me to shoot their engagement session and a few snaps of them in their wedding attire. The last few shots were shot on my Polaroid 1200 series camera using Impossible Project instant film.
Meredith S - that first image is stunning! And I love the Polaroids.

Colin - I love the first frame -- it looks exactly like taking a filter to get the reflections over the image, it's so gorgeous and the nostalgia is killing me, love it!

Trendy Bride - This is lovely ! Such a cute couple. First photo is really creative!!!
Emily Heizer Photography - The first image is so interesting, it absolutely just makes me think. I haven't done or seen photomerges in quite a while. It is an interesting return concept. You've done is nicely since it is so light and airy.
I've got a couple of favorites. The third from the top, the facial close up is lovely. The softness of the bride's face... these always strike a chord with me because of the voyeurism, the emotion, the feeling of being IN the moment. This also gives a great view of her hair which is also soft and airy and reflects the tone of the entire shoot. Lovely as well.
I also got sucked into this image towards the bottom where their bodies are turned about 45 degrees towards each other and they are giving a light kiss. Love the composition because you can see their bodies; their clothing again reflects the tone of the shoot, and the nature around them. Neutral tones work on point. The facial expressions, particularly on the bride are just so REAL. I love that. It's inspirational. Always finding something I can take away is my goal Jose, thank you!

Ann Molen - there is something about this couple. i don't know exactly what it is, all i know is that it gives me a warm feeling. i'm pretty sure it's the perfect combination of them and the way you captured them that melded together to create the perfect story. p.s. the double exposure image is still one of my favorite images i've ever seen, and it's even nicer to see that the couple that went with it are just as lovely.
