Historical Adamson House | Kiyoko & Chris

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Howdy,

What a totally awesome wedding at Adamson House in Malibu this Sunday. Adamson’s House is a quaint historical site that is now a museum located on the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).  Anyway, check out the wedding pictures ;D

Kiyoko – the lovely bride – got ready in a rustic pool house in the the Adamson House. She was admiring the donned dress as her maids of honor all helped her tie the back.

Look at this beautiful picture of the bride!

I really like the details on her dress. And I think she did too :)

I know I intentionally blurred the picture, but the flowers were done by Renan from Fleur-de-Lis Flower Couture (626-922-4895). This picture was taken just before the ceremony. She was just beaming with joy!

Kiyoko and Chris held an intimate ceremony with close family and friends. They conducted their ceremony under this grand tree.

Aww their first kiss as husband and wife! I just fired away!

And yes, that was the beach in the background. Awesome huh? I would eat outdoors everyday if my playground was the Malibu beach.

Blue Cake | Brittney & Jeff

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Howdy,

On Saturday, Steve Hoffmann and I photographed Britney and Jeff’s wedding! Being sweethearts since high school, the two of them finally tied the knot in Laguna Beach at Occasions.

Occasions at Laguna Village
577 S Coast Hwy
Laguna Beach, CA 92651
(949) 376-4536

Occasions at Laguna Village (Orange County) is an awesome location that overlooks the ocean. I recommend it to any bride who wants a beach wedding :D

While Steve handled Britney’s preparation session, I was with Jeff and the guys. They got ready at

Inn at Laguna Beach
11 North Coast Highway
Laguna Beach, California 92651

Inn at Laguna Beach also overlooks the ocean, so it’s a totally rad place to hang out before the wedding. Jeff had a team meeting before his departure to marry the girl of his dreams! 1-2-3-HOORAH!

With some time to spare, the guys decided to horse around with Jeff’s nephew har har (I bet he was not laughing though).

Despite the beautiful wedding, we did not get any blue sky or sun! The fog rolled in thick and heavy.

YAY!

While trekking down the streets to the beach (above), I stopped them midway in an alleyway to take some more saucy pictures tee hee. I told them not to worry because we will get the “safety shots” for the parents and kids to see.

Here is the safety 0:- )

mMMm a delicious looking cake! The seashells are all made of sugar – yum!

Britney and Jeff’s first dance as husband and wife. I had a large strobe setup on the right side lending that awesome light.

Dance all Night with Christian Louboutin | Lilly & Chris

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Hidy ho,

What a day! Lilly and Chris were such fun sports – so many stories with so little blogging space. As always, I prefer to let the pictures do the telling for me. Since Doug was photographing a wedding at Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego, I sought out two trusted friends and totally bitchin’ photographers – Gavin and Greg. Without them, it would have been quite challenging since I had an upset stomach the entire day :X Even Gavin’s emergency “plug up” pills did not alleviate the pressure. Enough, I know.

Lilly got ready at Beverly Hills Hilton. We did their engagement session there a while back.

Anyway, back to the wedding!

For the girls who are fanatics about shoes [and ribbons], check these out! I bet wearing a pair of these shoes will simply make your day. Christian Louboutin silk ribbon red bottom shoes! I was so scared to handle them – no joke!

While Greg and I attended to Lilly, Gavin was with Chris and his dudes. Just a little early celebration smoke.

Finding parking near the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church was one of the hardest challenges. Aside from that, it was an awesome location and conveniently located on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. There is also a park across the street :)

Afterward, we headed over to Dream Palace in Glendale. The food was good and the music was thumping. Aww it’s their first dance as husband and wife…

Gavin and his powerful strobe gave this image such a wonderful feel.

I thought this picture was really nice, so I had to post it. This was Lilly dancing ever so gracefully even in her heels.

Thank you Lilly and Chris for sharing such a wonderful day with us. On behalf of Gavin and Greg, you two ROCK!

Red Door at Summit House | Gina and Nate

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Greetings,

Tang and I recently photographed at the beautiful Summit House in Fullerton (Orange County). I previously shot there with Tang as well for another wedding. The location is full of green foliage and colorful walls.

We knew it would be a blast when Gina and Nate decided to share their special day with us. Having the opportunity to photograph their engagement session, it allowed us to break the ice. Naturally, these two look like models so taking nice pictures was not at all hard. Thank you Lisa for introducing them to us! :)

A dress dress so beautiful, it could have been the pharaoh’s queen’s.

Don’t you love the play with lighting? Awesomeness.
