Joanne’s Wedding Trial

Hey all!  Normally I wouldn’t showcase a wedding trial photo, however Joanne is happily married now and I’m going to start showcasing these type of photos so future clients can see my process prior to the special day.   Photographed by Archi Prudencio

A Wedding trial is spending time and figuring out what are the client’s needs in terms of the perfect look for the wedding day.  This is usually done 1 month prior to the event.  I like this time the most because I get to build my relationship with the client and make sure they are comfortable with me and feel confident.

Thank you Joanne, for giving me the opportunity!

Hollywood Bathing Beauties

The talented Archi Prudencio photographed this shoot at an amazing location in Marina Del Rey, CA. and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. We had a great team, the weather was beautiful, we had a lot of fun getting to know each other and created some exciting energy, all throughout the day. And recently, Hollywood Bathing Beauties were featured in French musician Thomas Marfisi’s music video for song titled “Les Filles Comme Toi.”

Hollywood Bathing Beauties

Led by a good friend Katrina Amato,The Hollywood Bathing Beauties are a dazzling collection of dancers,  synchronized swimmers and aerialists.  They bring the glamour and excitement of old Hollywood musicals to your event.  They entertain in and out of the water and their skills will mesmerize you and your guests! The ladies customize entertainment that interweaves beauty and grace in the water, on land and in the air! These pictures below are amazing and so happy to have been apart of this awesome shoot with photographer Jasper Johal. I did make up for all 8 girls that morning at 9 am and the photo session started at 1pm. The girls are so talented and it was an incredible experience to watch them in action.

Larizza and Richard’s Wedding

I had such a great time working with Larizza and her wedding party. I worked on 9 girls that morning at Grand Vista Hotel in Simi Valley, doing their hair and make up and everything went smoothly. Most brides are still sleeping when I work on the bridal party, but not Larizza. She was up early and full of energy on her special day. Actually, everyone’s energy was great so it made the time go by so fast. Congratulations Larizza, you’re a beautiful bride with an awesome personality thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day.

Engagement Adventure

Our good friends James + Joanne brought Archi and I along with them on an unforgettable 3 day excursion to photograph some engagement pictures, with the theme being cheap thrills and travel.  Archi was the photographer and I the hair/makeup artist, but it felt more like four friends appreciating nature and each other. Another reason why I love my job…

Joanne is naturally beautiful and doesn’t need any make up, but she wanted to go all out and have fun since it was her engagement photo shoot. With the little work that I did, I enhanced her beautiful features and she had so much fun with it.

The first day Archi captured so many cool photos, as we all roamed around the beautiful city of San Francisco. He also got some really great night shots, just right after a rainstorm hit.  The next day, we went to a local airport and shot around the jet planes.  We also visited the Exploratorium museum, Lombard St., and the Golden Gate Bridge.  The last day we traveled up to Napa Valley and this was my first time visiting this incredible area. The wine fields and the barrows were just beautiful, and I cannot wait to go back. Archi did an amazing job capturing Joanne and James’ love, their personalities and the wonderful places we visited.
These two lovebirds are getting married in August 28, 2011! Be on the look out for their wedding photos.
