Picnic Day!

Barbecue, cotton candy, and unlimited games!! That is just a short list of what my day to day job did for our company picnic this year! The day was filled with fun instead of the normal grind of paper pushing. It was a break well deserved from all of hard work we have put in for the year. Big thanks to our HR department that did a tremendous job in creating our little getaway!!! Here are a few of my favorite images from the party!

Best Group Ever!

A day at the Zoo!

"You know why it's called a squirrel monkey? Because the mom is a squirrel and the dad is a monkey!" (LOL.. Best joke ever!)

When was the last time you've been to the zoo?? The child in all of us seemed to awaken that Sunday afternoon as we strolled around the Oakland Zoo in celebrance of Tony's 7th birthday. If anything, the adults were probably more in awed by the monkeys swinging from tree to tree than the kids were! It was definitely a day to remember. Happy birthday, Tony. We wish you many, many more birthdays to come!

Happy Birthday Tony!

Kids will be kids!

The Zoo!!

A little photoshop work! What do ya think?

A New Shining Star..

"Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!"

Much props to Judy and Boi for effortlessly raising two incredible kids. Now, they're getting ready to welcome their third child into the world. The sex of the baby is unknown, which is a surprise that the parents are excitedly anticipating. Here is a moment in time with mommy and baby before first glance.

Jessica and Jacob's Wedding

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." - David Viscott

Jessica and Jacob were a wonderful couple to work with! They both decided to keep their wedding small and to be surrounded by the ones who truly meant the most in their lives. The start of their marriage took place in the backyard of the home where Jessica grew up. Both families pulled together to create a phenomenal night that went into the early morning of the next day. They are truly blessed to be surrounded by so much love. We wish them all the luck in the future!

Also, a big thanks goes out to Brian Gross for allowing me to come and help assist in shooting this wedding. Here are some images, please enjoy!!

Jessica and Daren's Wedding...

"Some of the greater things in life are unseen, that's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream..."

I was lucky enough to accompany good friend Brian Gross as a second shooter for Jessica and Daren's Wedding during memorial weekend this year. The wedding took place in Stockton, CA at the Classy Country Wedding and more. It was a beautiful ceremony and the weather was perfect for a spring wedding. I wish Jessica and Daren a wonderful life and congrats on their new life journey! Please enjoy some of the images from the wedding.

Into the waters Nyree...

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." - Acts 2:38

Nyree Sophia Malig was baptized at St. Augustine's Church in South San Francisco. The 3rd child of Jason and Denise, her very special day was joined by many good friends and family. Following the baptism was an early dinner at Hon Lin, a quaint and tasty Chinese restaurant in San Mateo, which has apparently become a tradition for the Malig family since the baptism of their first child, Zhari. As they say, a child is god's most precious gift, and we share in the joy and happiness of Jason and Denise as they raise their precious daughter in the Catholic faith.
