In this modern day and age, we rarely get to see couples that stay together as long as Chang and Totoy. 50 years of marriage is a feat nowadays and I feel so honored to be a part of this day.

I had an awesome time shooting with awesome models in an awesome studio! Last Saturday I did a fashion shoot for Lou Razon’s line and I couldn’t be happier. Julie, Melissa, Summer and the whole crew made my job real easy.

Here are some teaser shots… I will have all the photos ready by the end of the month.

Griffith Park Observatory Proposal by Rengie Mendoza | Mark & Pia

rengie — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:36:22 +0000

I’ve known this couple for years and I’m really honored to be a part of this surprise proposal. I was asked to take these photos the day before. Fortunately Mark was able to give me a rough idea on where and how it’s going to take place.

This is one of the most creative proposals I have ever seen. I’ll let the photos below tell the story… hopefully you’ll figure it out.

Congrats to Mark and Pia! Next stop, engagement photos… *wink, wink*

EDIT: Instead of scrolling down through the photos, I replaced it with a slideshow…

WPPI 2010 Begins Now!

rengie — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 03:33:36 +0000

There is no doubt that most photographers know about the WPPI 2010 Convention happening in the deserts of Las Vegas, Nevada. All of the vendors I know and use in the business are all packed and ready to show their latest and greatest to more than 15,000 photographers attending from different parts of the globe.

The who’s who in wedding and portrait photography will be in Las Vegas this weekend. If your photographer is not in Vegas this week, you should ask them WHY NOT?!?!?!

The WPPI 2010 buzz is loud and clear. Everyone wants to be a part of it. Whether going to the trade show, the classes, the shootouts, the workshops, the rockstar photographers, the parties or just mingling with people in the hallways of the MGM Grand and connecting with like minded people is something to be really excited about.

In the past 2 years I have been trying to figure out how to take my business to the next level and 10 out of 10 photographers that I talked to that has been to the past WPPI Conventions swear that they have taken home more than what they can handle. I decided to kick it up a notch and try to get the most out of this awesome event.

As I sit at gate 3 in LAX awaiting my flight, I meditate on how I’m going to wisely spend my time in Vegas. I’m starting to feel the adrenaline as I anticipate the energy that will hit me in the coming week. An intense 2-day workshop with Cliff Mautner, 1 full day of Business Institute, 3 Master Classes and major networking is no joke, people. A lot of things to learn, people to meet and gadgets to put my hands on.

Stay tuned as I try (note: TRY) to post blog updates of day to day happenings during WPPI.

This portrait session is long overdue on the blog. I really had a blast with this session, I mean really. The kids are hilarious. It took them a while to warm up to the camera – but after a few shots, hilarity ensued. Here are some shots:
