Palos Verdes Hipster Engagement 0019

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!

    Capturing all these fairytale moments has been one of the most life-giving things I have done with my life and looking back at these images gives me more perspective than i thought it might. 

I have seen countless couples get married in the most scenic places with the day covered in such elegance. But what stands out to me the most is the wonderful people that I have had the honor to work with. The amount of love, generosity, compassion, and dedication these people have has changed my life in ways I never knew would. It has made me think deeply about how I love, how I see people, and how my point of view is only just mine. Each person is so unique and such a gift that I cannot let mine become my only narrative. These people carry endless beauty and stories to be told.

Weddings aren't just about the show, they are truly about love stories that persevere. And with that sentiment, I feel like capturing people's days is so much more than pretty imagery, its about writing the story of their souls intertwining and merging with their families, ready to create new chapters and generations of love. 

When you hire me, you get more than a person creating pictures. Youre inviting me to preserve who you are entirely in that moment and all the significance around you. I dont take that lightly.
