HDR Friday: Anniversary in Paradise

What's the best way to celebrate a wedding anniversary, and the anticipation of the first child?  A 'babymoon' in Hawaii would do the trick!

Of course, being greeted with an amazing sunset also provide that extra touch ;)

For those purists/hdr haters out there... look below for a non-HDR photo of the same sunset :)

Hawaii Paradise Cove Sunset

And, we definitely can't waste a good sunset without taking some maternal photos of my beautiful wife and her baby bump ;)

Happy Friday folks!

HDR Friday: The Canyon

This little hidden spot in the Laguna is pretty notorious for portraits and engagement sessions.. it's also where my cousin got engaged at! Took this few minutes after the surprised proposal where I was "assisting" the amazing photographer Henry Chen!!!

HDR Friday: The Busy Station

For a city full of drivers (approximately over 80% of the population), I didn't think there would be so many people here at the Downtown LA Union Station on a sunday evening.  So since I arrived early for a portrait session, I was able to take couple of shots of its waiting area.

HDR Friday: Top of the Belfry

So after a total of 366 steps up a dark, narrow and steep staircase (and about 15 euro for entrance fee) this is the view I was greeted with during our visit to Brugge, Belgium in 2008.  The city also had the BEST hot chocolate I've ever had in my life... a little random but anyhow, enjoy your weekends folks!

Couple Portrait : Vivian & Sule

Key ingredients for a "quickie" couple portrait session consist of four things: planning, an awesome couple, a location and a Lamborghini...

Thanks Vivian and Sule for the opportunity to photograph you two, even though Sule have the reputation of not smiling in front of the camera, I think I captured some smirks and smiles (see evidence below).

HDR Friday: City of Glass

I guess it's a sign that I need to start traveling again when I have to look back for old photos I took back from 2008.  So here we go, back to the beautiful city of Vancouver, view from Stanley Park!

HDR Friday: City of Denver

By the time this post on the internet I'm probably on the plane fly back home to Southern California.  Anyhow, it has been one busy August and September both professionally and personally, and since I was in Denver this week, I figure posting an old photo of the interior of Denver Union Station would fit this week's HDR Friday.

Happy Friday folks!

HDR Friday: Hotlanta

Just concluded my short business trip to Atlanta, given that I only had few hours of leisure time I was able to check out the city a little bit and take some photos.

Here's a shot from the quiet and humid Piedmont Park with Atlanta skyline standing tall.

HDR Friday: Crystal Cove Sunset

Crystal Cove in Orange County, California has always been my go to spot for seascape photography, there always a minimum amount of people, it's quiet and peaceful.  Although I haven't been there for a while, the photos I took there always brings back that tranquility feel...

Happy Friday folks!
