Meet Keith and Crystal. I met Keith back in high school, a time when he preferred us to call him by his Japanese name, Koji. 10 years later, he met the Crystal and got engaged and I am so happy for him. They met at work and he even learned Mandarin for her. When we had our first meeting and she called him Keith instead of Koji, I knew he had grown up and wasn’t the guy I knew long ago. I was honored to be asked to take their photos for their wedding and we decided to do some engagement photos down in Laguna Beach.
One of the destinations they’d like to go for their honeymoon is Hawaii, so they decided to get into gear and shoot in Hawaiin outfits. Aren’t they so cute? We had a great day out, despite the manic traffic getting there. Once we hit the beach, the sun was quickly setting and the tide was coming in so we had to do a quick shoot by the water. The waves were huge that day and I even got drenched taking their photos.
