We shot Reina and Jake’s Engagement Session just a day before our trip and barely had enough time to look over the pictures at home before packing our bags.

For this photo shoot we roamed the Embarcadero area and it seems we keep discovering new spots to shoot there all the time. Reina and Jake are getting married in Stanford’s Memorial Church in July and we are truly stoked to be shooting their wedding!

Thank you for all your patience, Reina & Jake! Enjoy.

We are also making slow, but steady progress with the travel photos and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Thank you to everyone for your patience during our travel time. Natasha and I experienced an amazing adventure through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand and we can’t wait to share it. Naturally, we brought back thousands of photographs (as to be expected!) and we’ll start posting some of them just as soon as we get a chance.

We also brought back a few videos made using our point-n-shoot camera and here are a few for your entertainment:

Crossing the street in Hanoi, Vietnam is an experience in itself. They don’t have many streetlights and although most of the transportation consists of slow moving mopeds, it’s a bit intimidating nonetheless. Our guidebook sort of recommended saying a little prayer, closing your eyes, and just going for it:

We came across a large collective of friendly monkeys along the roadside in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. It was amazing to interact with them as their behavior is so human-like that it was surreal:

Tuk-tuks are a common form of transportation around Bangkok. It’s basically a moped modified in a rickshaw fashion and it is the most common way that travelers get around in this city:

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!

We are currently away traveling in Southeast Asia. Natasha and I will be back in the Bay Area on January 25th.

These blog posts were pre-written and set to publish throughout our time away. We will also do our best to write periodic updates of our travels on the road. Enjoy these posts and let us know what you think in the comments below!

As some of you may know we’ve moved to San Mateo about half a year ago. Pretty much right away we realized that we absolutely love living in this city – it is simply central to almost any part of the Bay Area. The weather is mild and we really enjoy being able to walk in this area.

One evening we took our cameras along with us for a walk. Below are some scenes of what we saw on this moody evening:
