Awhile ago we blogged about Reena and Hero’s first maternity session. For those of you who haven’t read the post, Hero bought a maternity photo package as a birthday/anniversary gift for Reena. The package entails a mini 30-min studio session every month to document the changes during pregnancy, as well as a full portrait session outdoors to celebrate and capture their love for each other at this exciting time of their lives. Last Sunday we held the outdoors portrait session at the beautiful El Dorado East Park located in the city of Long Beach. Reena and Hero went earlier during the day to picnic with friends, and joined us before sunset for the photo session. They looked adorable and full of joy with the anticipation of their baby girl!
Without further ado, here are some of our favorites from the day:
They opted for a casual everyday look, to let us capture their genuine, natural, fun-loving personalities.
Love Reena’s glowing smile:
One of my faves of the day:
Listening to the baby:
Hmm… wonder what secrets did the baby tell?
Sweetness:
You can see how much Hero loves her by the way he looks at her:
I think Reena is a gorgeous mommy-to-be:
A perfect relaxing day with perfect light…
Sunflares:
Hero just told her how proud he was of her, and here’s her reaction:
Love!
Reena and Hero — thank you for the fun day! Congrats!

After much anticipated excitement, the big day finally came last weekend — Marie and Andy got married at the beautiful Rose Garden in Cal Poly!
We started off with some couple and wedding party portraits at the nearby Japanese Garden:
I love this bouquet by Wen Floral Design Studio. An elegant combination of ivory-colored ribbons, pearls, and pink roses.
With Maid of Honor Connie :)
Shortly after, the ceremony began at the Rose Garden.
This is the part where I always get a bit emotional and teary-eyed… when the bride and her father is about to walk down the aisle.
They had Star Wars music for the recessional. How cool is that?!
A couple more portraits after the ceremony:
After that, we headed over to East 180 restaurant in Diamond Bar for evening reception.
There were a lot of beautiful details, from the sign-in table displays, dinner table settings, to the cute whimsical cake topper. The favor boxes, which the couple and their friends made themselves, also sport a flower-petal theme! :)
Cherry Blossom! I had wanted this for my own wedding!! I just adore this feminine and elegant look.
Love this little series:
It was a festive evening with lots of entertainment lined up.
And Marie’s brother hijacked DJ JoJo’s station for just a short moment. I think he looks very sleek here :)
Thank you Marie & Andy, for allowing us to take part of your wedding! It was beautiful, romantic, and filled with joy and laughter. What a perfect way to start your new life together! :)
A special thanks also, to my 2nd shooter this time, Nick Yutaka. We enjoyed having such a talented photographer shooting with us. Thanks Nick for all your help!

If you missed Part I of this story, you can catch up here to see what the charity event was all about. Also, be sure to check out the Special Contest we are having! Yes, you do no want to miss out on this great opportunity to win some cool prizes from us! :D
Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the day.
Since the idea was to let a couple work with many different photographers all in one day (to test-drive their services and find the ideal “match”), each photo session was limited to 15 minutes, unless the couple wanted more time. It was certainly a new experience for us, to try and get many great shots within the short time-frame, but our couples are all so cool and sweet, and we ended up spending about 30 minutes with each. Love was in the air, and smiles and kisses aplenty!
Thank you guys, for taking part in this meaningful event, and for sharing these special moments with us! :)
