Robert and Felicia: We are adventurers. We are photographers. We believe in Reason, Purpose, and Excellence. 'Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives: choice, not chance, determines your destiny.'? - Aristotle That sums up pretty much how we approach our work, our business, our Life. As two individuals, one husband-and-wife team, we are inspired by the creative partnership of Ray & Charles Eames, and we identify greatly with the adventuring spirit of Martin & Osa Johsnon. We love each other. We love travel. We love making pictures. We also love to cook, and to eat! (Hi! That's us!) We met while each traveling solo in Tibet, survived the dreaded long distance relationship (9,000 miles between Singapore and California!), then Rob proposed in Bolivia during a 3-month sojourn through South America. We got married in Singapore, and now call Burbank, California, home. Phew! We travel all over the world for work & play, and are thrilled that our photography takes us places. Speaking of places: we're constantly planning our next adventures. When we're not using up our passport pages, we escape from our ever-growing family of iDevices by taking refuge in the National Parks and/or taking random roadtrips in our trusty (and very hardworking) Prius. Our Photography We push the boundaries in composition, our images are bold, vibrant, layered, and richly textured. In a way, our photography is an extension of the way we see the World: complex, nuanced, diverse, and constantly-evolving. Tech Talk We love our Primes for a) the distinctive quality they lend to our images, b) the magic they work with ambient light, and c) for the awesome workout that they give us. Which really isn't bad because we need something to help us keep the pounds off when we're around wedding cakes every week! We love to incorporate off-camera lighting techniques and technical know-how to create in-camera the vivid colors in our images: Really, it's not Photoshop! About You You do not see photography as a commodity, and you understand that your wedding day photographer is not some vendor who shows up just to push a button. It is about creating a relationship of trust with someone whom you feel comfortable to share details of your life with, and in return, we create a pictorial keepsake of a milestone day in your life. You value "the moments" more than "the stuff", and understand that the photos of the people nearest & dearest to you will get more precious as the years go by. You. And Us. We don't see you as "just another couple" or one of the most significant days of your life as "just another wedding", or worse yet, "just a job". You are a unique individual, a unique pairing, and we'd like to get to know you, let you get to know us, and hopefully we'll find each other super awesome, so we can create some awesome photos for you too!
