  • Hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu: A Dream Photoshoot

    I can still remember the first day rolling up to the Inca Trail entry point with a grin from ear to ear. I was cramped in a bus full of hikers and guides, bouncing off our seats with every twist and turn of the worn down rural-road. As we arrived I remember tossing my 30 lb. bag over my back and nearly sprinting off the bus with excitement with my Sony A7s II in my right hand and my Canon 5d Mark III in my left. I was quite literally watching my dreams unfold before me and it couldn't have been more obvious to all the hikers, I was smiling like a kid on Christmas. I couldn't believe that I was actually getting paid to hike Machu Picchu because I had grown up my whole life believing money had to be earned through hard work but nobody told me hard work could be so fun. I recall taking my first few steps and then pausing to take it all in, "I'm hiking to Machu Picchu and getting paid to do so, I've truly found my calling as a photographer and filmmaker."

  • Southeast Alaska Bridal Portraits | Asia Dore Photography

    AsiaDore1

    Planning a wedding means hours upon hours of researching, organizing, scheduling, and preparing for just one day of your life. And when that day finally arrives it flies by in an instant. So when Kristen asked me about a bridal portrait session on the beaches of Southeast Alaska, I couldn't say yes fast enough. Because honestly? After all that planning she deserved an hour of fun in her stunning J.Crew gown with the wind hitting her veil. For no one other than her, for no reason other than "why not."

    Pro Tips: If you're considering a bridal portrait session (and I hope you are!), plan on booking it on the same day as your hair & makeup trial like Kristen did. Also, make sure your portrait photographer knows your wedding date so no sneak peeks get posted before your big day.

    I'm Asia, and my job is awesome. I'm a portrait, wedding, and elopement photographer in Wrangell, Alaska. You hear a lot about photography as a way to preserve memories. Freeze time. Capture moments. But that's not the reason I'm a photographer. Because while I agree a photograph allows us to relive a wonderful thing that happened once, I believe it can also serve as a reminder that wonderful things happen every single day. A reminder that THIS is the moment you're in now, and it has the potential to be whatever you want it to be. This philosophy has driven me toward a style that focuses on the quiet, subtle, in-between moments. I hope to inspire my clients to be truly present in their lives, because when our simplest moments are acknowledged? That's when we're really living.
