One of the happiest and satisfying moments of a wedding photographer is putting the beautiful wedding album into the hands of the wedding couple. Seeing how the couple enjoy going through the pages and reminiscing about their unforgettable day is quite rewarding. #weddingalbums #weddingmemories

It’s been a while since we've watched a sunset by the sea. Needed a moment to pause, breathe and soak in the calmness and peace. Wishing all the chaos will soon pass and returning to some true normalcy and sanity. #asilomarsunset #montereysunset
