I’m so excited to show you this super fun & creative engagement session! Belen & Brian aren’t just fun… they’re FUN. So we needed a really vibrant, fun and creative way to show off their humor and their personality. There’s nothing like splashing paint all over one another, right?

Enjoy!

Sphynge Photography Editorial Award



2012 has kicked off to an amazing start for Sphynge Photography – we’re getting published in April, in June; we’ve been chosen at Bride’s Choice Award for 2012… and now we have a new award: Editor’s Choice 2012! That’s an especially awesome award because being published already means you’ve made it past hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other submissions. Being the top 5% of published professionals is really an amazing accomplishment we’re so proud of!


Thank you to our wonderful couples whose love radiates through our lenses, and for your trust and commitment to our vision. We wouldn’t be here with you!

Love,

Caroline & Binh

We are so honored that Jessica & Keith’s wedding was featured in Destination I Do! Magazine. This texan couple chose us for their San Francisco celebration – and what a journey it was! We started at the Legion of Honor and continued to China Beach where Jessica and Keith exchanged vows with the Golden Gate Bridge as their backdrop. I hope you’ll enjoy these photographs – we definitely had so much fun taking them! Congratulations Jessica & Keith!

What would you do in Paris? I’d take photographs… and in fact, I had the great privilege of photographing Katrina Patchett, French celebrity and winner of Dancing With the Stars Season 1. Katrina is the most talented dancer, and combines elegance with beauty and humor. She’s so much fun to work with! After winning the prime time show, she’s been spending extra time teaching people across the world how to express their passion through ballroom. Of course, she’s also come back for season 2 and came close to winning a second time! She lost to her competition partner, Maxime Dereymez, who you can see below. But wait… could that mean that I also did a celebrity shoot with season 2 winner? You’ll have to come back to find out… ;-)

We are SO excited to show you the new swirly frame!! When I opened the package (ok… tore it in excitement), I was really impressed. This frame is just gorgeous!

Swirly frames come in 8×10 size and are ready to hang. They feature archival paper and vibrant colors that really make the photograph pop. The frame is whimsical and has volume which really makes a great impression – it casts just enough shadows to call attention to the photograph – “hey look at me, I’m such a cutie!”.

There’s a hanging saw in the back so you can just have one nail on the wall and you’re ready to go – at the bottom of the back you’ll find soft pads so that the frame itself doesn’t touch the wall, and so that the frame stays nice and straight vertically (no weird bending on the bottom). I love the look of this new frame – and I’m sure it’ll look as badass in your house ;-)

We are so excited to show you this maternity session – JoJo was a dancer, and we were able to do a session that both reflected a fashion / modern sensibility while integrating that truly unique dancing ability. Isn’t she elegant?
