Ralph and Andrea  enjoy  having fun, as seen in the photo. Their individual talents and experience together make a great
photo team that will keep you at ease from the first moment you meet them.  They are truly passionate about creating an
experience and  memory for you to cherish and share forever.

Ralph started his photography career in the US Navy Submarine Service during the
Vietnam Era while serving as an Electronics Technician on board the
USS Theodore Roosevelt, SSBN 600  (Blue Crew) (that boat has since been
turned into scrap metal or a nice reef by now, who knows...you might be shaving
with it).

Ralph was assigned  the collateral duty of being the Ship's Photographer.
After serving six years, he started a photo equipment repair facility on Oahu, Hawaii
where he also began his portraiture business, then called Photographique.
He was one of the Official Photographers of the First Hawaii Marathon in Oahu and
has been photographing it almost every year since then.
After experiencing "Island Fever" he moved to the "Mainland" and settled
in Southern California.

Andrea, his wife, is an artist and photographer, which perfectly balances Ralph's
technical photographic skills.
Andrea's talent as a  Digital Photo Painter,  transforming photographs into painterly works of art, has won her several awards
for her photographs and Digital Paintings and has a full gallery of her work at
DigitalPhotoPainter.com.
