Cal Poly Pomona Japanese Garden – Michelle & Long’s Engagement

phan photographers — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:20:03 +0000

We had another great engagement session with Michelle and Long as we went back to our Alma Mater, Cal Poly Pomona (we actually both graduated the same year, same major and same day but we didn’t know each other back then). The Japanese Garden used to be a duck pond and going back to Cal Poly felt like a whole new world with so many changes and upgrades. A great location and a beautiful couple made for an awesome session. Check out our few favorites from Michelle and Long’s engagement session.

Photobooth – Keppel Grad Nite, Quest Crew & A.J. Rafael

We recently had the privilege to work at the Mark Keppel High School Grad Nite which was held at Boomers in Irvine. The event lasted from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM (it’s a good thing we only had to be there from 1AM to 4AM) but it was definitely worth it since there was a special appearance and performance by the Quest Crew and A.J. Rafael.

Pasadena City Hall & NBC Seafood – Lindy & Art’s Wedding

phan photographers — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:26:48 +0000

We had a little bit of a twist for Lindy and Art’s wedding as the groomsmen and bridesmaids had a role reversal. The wedding party consisted of the best lady and man of honor along with the bridesmen and groomsladies. So does that make Lindy the groom and Art the bride? HAHA, that’s a question you’ll have to ask them yourself. =) You gotta love the humor in that. You can only guess and assume how the special day went. Relaxing. Easy going. Fun. Full of laughter. A little bit of tears toward the end of the night. A whole lot of drinking. AND the grand finale…the biggest wine glass we’ve ever seen!

So here it is, a few of our favorites from Lindy and Art’s super fun wedding.

Did we mention the cake was awesome. Looks exactly like them!
And the drinking rounds begin…

Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, Long Beach & Capital Seafood, Monterey Park – Lana & Chans’s Wedding

phan photographers — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 23:38:45 +0000

Lana and Chans are genuinely one of the sweetest and kindest couples we have had the privilege to work with. Very easy going and thoughtful, they always seem to find ways to make any kind of situation turn out great even when things don’t turn out as planned. Simply put, they definitely know how to make the most out of anything life throws at them. They have our admiration.

It was our great pleasure and privilege to be a part of their beautiful wedding. We wish them the best of luck in their new adventure as a married couple. We would also like to thank Brian of Brian Fletcher Photography for helping out with the second shooting and Steve for manning the photobooth.

Here’s a glimpse and a few of our favorites from their special day.

tgif! The Open Door – Monterey Park, CA

phan photographers — Fri, 28 May 2010 18:17:53 +0000

We have been making more of an effort to go out on mini date nights, happy hour or a quick dinner without the kids. It keeps us sane, especially after a crazy month of the kids being sick, a busy month at work and month full of weddings and photo sessions! We’ve heard about The Open Door through friends and have been wanting to try it out. The restaurant is small, but it was clean, the service was great and the food was super yummy. We loved their menu, which is broken down into small bites (munchies), big bites (appetizers) and bigger bites (full entrees). We like variety in our meal so this place is perfect for us. We ordered a few things from the small and big bites – and although the dishes looked small, it filled us up quick! They also have really good fruity drinks. The best time to go is during their happy hour, which is between 5:30 and 7pm. They have a pretty good happy hour menu that’s almost 50% off the regular priced menu. We can’t remember the last time we went out alone and drank with each other. Or did we ever? We ordered a Lychee Shochu carafe to start. It was SO good. Everything we ordered was really good and tasty – enjoy the photos!

Lychee Shochu
Lychee juice mixed with Shochu aka “asian vodka” – so goood!

Albacore Sashimi with Gochujang Miso

Salmon Sashimi with Garlic Citrus Soy

Fried Shishito Peppers

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab

Beef Tataki

Braised Beef Short Rib
I just have to add that the meat melts like butter – it was so tender and the sauce was sweet and flavorful!

Go try this place out if you want to sample a bunch of little different dishes with awesome flavors. Aside from these unique dishes they also have a sushi/sashimi menu. :)
Happy Friday!!

Los Angeles – Boudoir

phan photographers — Fri, 21 May 2010 18:18:24 +0000

I absolutely love boudoir sessions and love it even more after my girls get excited over their photos! Mrs. P wanted to surprise her hubby with a set of sexy pictures for his birthday this weekend and played it off by asking him what he wanted. I think “Brown socks” was his answer. =P This is way better than brown socks, and i’m sure he’s going to love it! Thanks to Mrs. P for giving me permission to share these photos! The rest are for his eyes only.

Thanks Margaret for making Mrs P. even hotter!
