Engaged | Mary + Savva | San Diego, California

vantagep — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:47:50 +0000

Mary contacted me a few weeks ago about Vantage’s “try before you buy” free engagement session offer (yep, we’re offering a free one hour session for couples that want to try us out before hiring us for their wedding) and I am so happy she did. Mary and Savva are a beautiful couple, inside and out: they have such a kind, loving presence about them and totally put me at ease. Even though I had set out intending to do a lot of shots that played with the architectural elements of the UCSD campus, specifically with several shots of Savva and Mary in different parts of the image’s frame, I just kept wanting them to be next to each other because, well, they just looked so peaceful and right together. I couldn’t help myself. Enjoy your sneak peek and slideshow, Mary and Savva.

Alia + Justin: Sneak Peek and Slideshow

vantagep — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:17:46 +0000

They’re married!!! You know those couples that just seem meant to be? Yeah, that’s Alia and Justin.

They met in high school and Justin developed a huge crush on Alia (his first real crush, he says)….but he never told her. After school, they fell out of touch and then, a while later, randomly ran into each other at a bar in Milwaukee one evening. Justin still had a crush on Alia and still didn’t tell her. They fell out of touch, again. And then, four years later, completely unintentionally, they ended up moving into the very same apartment complex in Madison, Wisconsin. After bonding over their love of pugs and regular HBO-watching get-togethers, things clicked into place and they started dating seriously. Perfect, right? Not quite. Justin was scheduled to move across the country to San Francisco in a matter of months. They tried to make the relationship work long-distance but it got too hard and they broke up. And then….this is so serendipitous…Alia called Justin out of the blue and said she was moving to San Francisco: she had been offered a transfer within her job to move to the Bay Area.

And the rest is history. It must be true: some things are just meant to be. Like Alia and Justin. Married.

Wedding Coordinator (David did a slammin’ job): Dynamic Events

Flowers (soooooo gorgeous): Impressions

Music (um, can we say super fantubulous fun and talented djs??): Sound By Design

Enjoy your sneak peek, you two!

My 2008 Favorites

vantagep — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:05:40 +0000

It’s almost time to enter the final images of 2008 WPJA competition, which for me means going through all my images of last year and getting nostalgic. Last year I ended up posting g a favorite image of 2007. This year, I thought I’d show my favorites (emphasis on the plural) of 2008. Yeah, it’s true, choosing a favorite is too hard and besides, this way is more fun for everyone–the year in review, if you will. I don’t consider the images below to be the best of 2008 (although some of them also fall into that category), just my favorites. Some are my favorites because I like the colors and composition, some are my favorites because of the emotion they capture, some are my favorites because I just really liked being in that moment when I captured the image. Which are your favorites?
