Vic and I basically come from opposite sides of the world; I’m from Southern California and Vic is kind of from everywhere (Guam, Thailand, Singapore, Boston, you name it….), so we think it was probably fate when we happened to meet by chance about 3 years ago when I was living in Boston finishing up graduate school and Vic was living in San Francisco working in tech. Traveling started out of necessity for us trying to maintain a long distance relationship from opposite coasts of the country. Every month we would look up cheap flights in random cities and decide to meet up in places like Portland, Dallas, and Austin to keep things interesting. We crave adventure and spontaneity, so traveling naturally became a vital part of our relationship and took us to places like Thailand, Mexico, Indonesia, Laos and the Philippines. On April second of last year, Vic basically tricked me into marrying him when he proposed on the beach in Tulum! He made me think I lost one of my favorite rings (an older ring he got me at the beginning of our relationship)…after I was digging in the sand for a few minutes and on the verge of tears, Vic pretended like he “found” said ring and continued by putting a diamond ring on my finger. Being that it was shortly after April Fools, I seriously thought it was some kind of joke and said no (about 3 times). To this day we are not even sure if I said yes in that moment, but we really like each other so decided to stay engaged! HA. We are beyond excited to bring together our friends and family from all over the world in order to celebrate our marriage in the awesome little town of Whittier, California. It will be a Thai-Armenian celebration for the books!

When the light comes in juuuuuust right.
These turned out better than we all imagined. It was quite the journey to get here, having rescheduled FIVE times!! but when the stars aligned, perfect day at cathedral park fell right in our lap and we got this magical session captured right under the st johns bridge. I cant wait to play with the rest of these images.

These getting ready moments from Payton and Ryan`s wedding day are all a perfect embodiment of her glee and goddess like demure on her Empress Estate wedding day, fully inspired by her cinderella wedding vision. It was an absolutely magical day.

I cant wait to see what unfolds this year in these iconic spots and to see all the Christmas cards roll in with your pretty faces on them

After doing mini sessions for just about ten years, and family portraits for... who knows how long, I`m finally trying this out. Im hoping that we can get some great smiles from the little ones today with a "treasure" incentive. Those young ones really need a lot of encouragement. Im hoping this helps!
If you still want to join me for a mini session this year, I highly recommend booking right now. They are going fast and I keep having to open up more. If you haven`t booked already, this is the time!! I only have a couple more days I can open up before the Callender is fully booked.
I cant wait to see everyone this year!
