Fun and impromptu portrait shoot with Cousin Leo & Monica at Anaheim Train Station, Los Angeles

This is a result of having a photographer-cousin, upon arriving in LA, Leo arranged for a quick hour of photo session with his girlfriend, Monica. Nothing fancy, Leo just wanted simple portraits with Monica taken professionally, plus maybe get some cool photos he can post in his instagram.

They brought me to this place, Anaheim train station, which was lit! We were happy with the portraits but even more happier with the in-between photos wherein we captured their fun moments. Do checkout our images below, enjoy!

Our recent pre-wedding in Mt. Pinatubo using an Iphone 8

And so we got this new phone a few weeks back and the idea of shooting an entire pre-wedding on an Iphone 8 have crossed our mind along with the big question, can we pull it off?

The answer, we definitely did!

It was such a weird feeling having directing couple poses while holding just only a phone, but then we find it as a challenge. Surprisingly the new Iphone 8 kicks ass with it’s dynamic range and it’s new bokeh features. The results were amazing. The resolution was also solid, we can print the photos on our usual 10×15 prints without any loss. The image HDRs and the optical stabilization rocks too. The mobile phone cameras are truly catching up with the professional cameras. We were pretty amazed with how the color vibrance came out too. Spectacular.

Enough praises already with the new Iphone 8. Please also do checkout Amiel and Ann Marie’s Mount Pinatubo pre-wedding using our trusted Canon dslr’s here.

Big thanks to our couple and shout outs to the entire Merry Me team for the opportunity.
