Whitney + Hunter / Chateau Elan Vineyard & Winery Wedding

Love is patient, love is kind… I’m sure you’ve heard that somewhere before. It’s actually in the Bible from the book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 4-8. I always say how love is the best gift in the world, but at the same time, it’s the hardest thing to do as well.

We met Monica through the referral of a friend, and it has been a delight getting to know her and Jaron. Do you guys remember their engagement shoot? I will always remember that shoot as the one that had the most laughter and fun.

You know it’s a classy couple when they choose Chateau Elan as the venue for their engagement shoot! I love this place so much… it makes me feel like I’m somewhere in Europe, and it’s beautiful all year round! Every time I go there, I wish I could just fly to Italy!

Ever since I turned 40, life has been a bit different. I don’t know what it is about that number, but I tell you what… it hasn’t been easy. Mid life crisis struggle is real, and even though I’m still struggling over here, I have taken the first step of admitting it, so there’s progress.

I believe that people who are sentimental are usually the ones that fall in love with portrait photography… they value it because it’s beyond just taking photos. There’s meaning behind each shot and the purpose of why they’re taking them.

Spring is here…. I love this season because it gives me this feeling of refreshment and renewal! Everything feels so new and in a sense, it makes me feel like there’s a new beginning. It’s no wonder that we spring clean, right?

Daphnee + Keniel / Chateau Elan & Ashton Gardens Wedding

I believe that every encounter and every relationship that you have in your life is for a divine reason.  I believe that everything happens for a reason... reasons that's beyond our comprehension sometimes, but I have faith that it's all for my own good and that it's for the Lord to complete His story in me.

Ashton + Victor / Chateau Elan Vineyard Wedding

Our previous client referred us to Ashton and Victor and we were so grateful that they did.  Totally remember meeting Ashton at Cafe Intermezzo with my wife and learning about her and the plans that she had for her wedding.  One thing we learned about her was that she is someone who makes decisions well and executes her plans.  She came with just a few questions and after answering them, she simply booked us 13 months before her wedding date.
