This year is flyin by so fast. I gan't belief it?! Well, believe me when I say that this dance group is awesome! Lots of colors and excitement. All the way from Tracy, California, I bring to you Siva Polynesia....

I would love to share this wonderful video but until further notice, I gotta password protect it for now. :( But for those of you who are lucky enough to get a password from Vinson and Melissa, I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did!

It was really a joyous occasion for this young wonderful couple. With all the trials of a wedding, it all comes down to making two people happy for one day. I truly believe that was accomplished. It was a wonderful day filled with hard work and excitement. I was honored to film and document this day for Anna and Daniel. Thank you for making AhquinMedia a part of your special day Anna! Just setting things up with a Teaser for now. Enjoy!

Here's one for the family book.

I just love moments like these. They are so young and full of energy! This is the age that I want to remember. Moment frozen in time!

Oakland 8th Ward Anniversary from alvin ahquin on Vimeo.

This video has a special place in my heart. Eight years ago, I served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Oakland, California Mission. It was such a beautiful time for me. The last stretch of my mission I served the people of this vary ward. The Oakland 8th Samoan Ward. In it's infancy, this ward was a small branch of dedicated Samoans who traveled near and far to hold church meetings at Oakland Temple. The bond that these pioneers had for each other grew so much that the younger generation continues that same bond. I had to document this special day and it's a wonderful way to do it with video.

Here's a video I did a couple years ago when I attended art school. I'm trying really hard to do video and photography but it's a lot of work for one person. This year I would really like to focus on weddings but I just love music videos so I thought I would share this one. This was my first music video. I produced, directed, and edited this video all by my self. This was a really fun project. I'm sure I'll do it again but I need to stay focused.
