Robison-Vattuone Photography bio picture

  • Welcome!

    Their journeys into the world of photography took different paths.  Nattnoi was always an artist.  The ‘visual’ drew her in for as long as she could remember. Even though his father was a professional photographer, Martin’s first venture into creative endeavors came through music.  Finally, in his last two years of high school, he took  photography classes and became hooked on visual communications.  After high school, Martin decided to attend a TV & Radio production school, in Quito, Ecuador.  It was there that the worlds of Nattnoi and Martin collided.

    The birth of their daughter found them never without a camera!  Having a new family, with a home-grown ‘model’, and being part of a vibrant, young creative community in the South American capital, they naturally gravitated towards wedding and family photography.

    Today, Martin and Nattnoi are bringing a fresh, youthful, Latin vibe to each client’s project.

    While currently based in Dallas, Texas, they are available for assignments worldwide.

I love shooting with fun and enthusiastic people. Anybody that embeds their trust in my lens is beautiful, to me. My clients are the best group of humans on this planet. I’m very grateful for every single one of them. They are not just subjects, like most photographers call them.  They are the people that create the story, that I tell through my lens. I send a massive ‘thank you’ to all of them, and I hope they understand how blest I feel to have been part of their life.

Some are actors, some are comedians, and some are just everyday people, but to me they are special spirits who share the same love for photography — that I have.

Sara and Mark’s Wedding — Los Angeles, CA

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to work with the very talented Natalie Williams (www.nataliewilliamsphotographer.com), photographing a wedding in Southern California. Thanks, Natalie, for the support!

Sara and Mark are a beautiful couple whom took their relationship to the highest level. The day started like a typical day in Los Angeles, CA — warm and sunny. However, the sun was especially shinny over the Sheraton in downtown L.A., where Sara and Mark were getting ready for their special day. The bride-to-be’s hotel suite was hectic with bridesmaids shoulder to shoulder, jostling for a view of the mirror, and shouting, “where’s my shoe”.

This Orange County, CA photographer had his hands full. Capturing all those moments is what I live for. Interesting enough, the guys where all ready, watching some football on TV.

After surviving the girl’s wedding preparations, we drove to the beautiful and unique Blessed Sacrament Church, on Sunset Blvd., in Hollywood, CA., where they had a gorgeous ceremony. Children and family members running around, instead of sitting down, made my job really fun. Finally, the music started and Sara’s beautiful entrance got everybody to settle down. Tears poured from both sides of the family, and I felt blessed to be a part of their special day.

A quick drive to the Japanese American Museum, on East First Street, in Little Tokyo — Los Angeles, CA., followed the ceremony, for what would be a amazing reception. Again, children and other family members were running around full of excitement for the new couple.

From the begging to the end of the day, I had a great time. It’s a wonderful thing that I am fortunate to do for a living. I wish Sara and Mark the best on their new journey and new life as one. I’m just lucky to be the one who to tells the story.

A flower is a romantic symbol of a wedding, and a wedding is a symbol of love. I felt the love when I shot this wedding.

Hey…Mark, don’t worry about your hair, it’s just the most important day of your life.

We all love “bling”, and Mark and Sara are no exception.

Mark got ready really fast. Check him out — so confident.

Walking down the aisle to her future. I have been married for five years, and I still get nervous at weddings.

Blessed Sacrament Church, in Hollywood, CA has this dramatic ceiling, which is perfect for a beautiful ceremony. Yes, I still tire at weddings.

The first dance, is so exciting. I think that the Japanese American Museum, in Little Tokyo — Los Angeles, CA is a great a place for a reception. I loved this couple, and wish them the best of luck.

Huntington Beach, CA -Pier

When I lived in Miami, FL I would have to be up before six a.m. to be able to see the sunrise. Living in Huntington Beach, CA — Orange County, I’m able to view the spectacular sunset that California offers to it’s surfers, tourist and photographers. I felt very lucky and blessed to be able to shoot at this great engagement session location. Look at these colors. Wouldn’t you like to have a shoot here?

Huntington Beach is all about fun in the sand, and surf.

This is the pier, where all the locals come and hang-out. I fell in love with this place. Wouldn’t you?

There is something special about the sound of the ocean. Some people consider it spiritual and illuminating. I don’t know, but I can diffidently feel something higher when confronted with such beauty.

Sunsets are so wonderful, especially when you have a cool place to witness one. This image was worth the sand in my shoes.

GO TITANS!!!! Las Flores, CA (Orange County) Sports Photos

When I lived in Quito, Ecuador-South America I didn’t attend any American football games, however I did see some soccer matches, which I love. However, as soon as I got back to Orange County, I saw the Tesoro High School, Las Flores, CA Titians play a good football game. The energy from the marching band, cheerleaders and the players was amazing. Most of the fans where the high school’s seniors and the players’ parents. I felt like — back in the USA — after this shoot.

Tesoro High School is the home of the Titans, and here we can see one as he imposes his authority. I honestly felt intimidated by this character.

Tesoro’s school band got the crowd ready for the game to start. The crowd, mainly parents and the senior class, have plenty of love for their school.

Special team kicker lets the rival know what Tesoro is all about.

Cheerleaders are a great part of the game. They make sure the mood is positive and enjoyable. These girls are amazing representatives of school spirit. GO….TITANS!!!!!!!

Family Portrait — Dallas, TX — White Rock Lake

White Rock Lake is a beautiful park in Dallas, TX, but it became more beautiful when we shot this amazing family. Although it was hot and humid (especially for an Orange County family photographer), the family did great. The little boy was tired and that gave me an opportunity to work on my people skills. We had a great time, and am very grateful that I was able shoot with them.

The climate was hot, humid and sticky, however the family did great with their portrait. We did get a little help from that beautiful tree, and the breeze from White Rock Lake.

Everybody remembers climbing up to the top of their dad’s shoulder, right? I loved pulling on my dad’s hair, when he still had some.

This kid has a lot of energy, and it was hard to capture a photo of him, but with the help of some snacks, I was able to take this photograph.

She has a beautiful family, you can see where the good looks come from.
