Chinatown Wedding | Alina and Lester

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Hello all,

Alina and Lester had a super long wedding day.  As part of Asian traditions, there are favorable times to have tea ceremonies.  It just so happens that most of our previous ones are in the early morning.  In any event, Alina and Lester braved the challenges and not only had a tea ceremony, they also had a Western ceremony. Wow!

Aren’t these two the cutest trinkets?

As part of Asian tea ceremony games, there were challenges posed for the groom before granted entry to retrieve his bride. Such entry bribes include games and money. The following challenge was to get 10 people to honk their vehicles.

This game will be hard to explain…

That is Lester giving up and screaming at the people inside.

The best Best Man ever! Since it was a sweltering day, he was always followed with a towel.

Socks disguised as cupcakes! Furry cupcakes how fun!

ME <3 CARBS | Nancy and Edward

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Hello,

Last post for today! I will follow up with some weddings later this week.

Nancy and Edward had two engagements for one day! Thanks to Tang and Tawny for helping me with this one. We three photographed a wedding in San Diego (Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park) just the evening before, so I was a little fatigued. However, Nancy and Edward’s upbeat personalities made it so enjoyable.

Nancy and Edward first took pictures at Santa Monica’s Farmers’ Market. Afterward, we trekked to Claremont where the LA Fair was hosted. Both locations were uber fun. After posting it on my FaceBook, I later found out that my friend, Joephy, is Edward’s coworker at Spot Runner. What a small world.

Ginny and Bryant are getting married next year at The Reef in Long Beach. Since Ginny liked Malaga Cove, so they did their engagement pictures there. It is a very nice location to hang out!

Rock til’ the Wheels Fall Off | Renee and Glenn

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Hello,

Renee and Glenn and two super fun people. During our initial meeting, they were even goofing around while we were talking business. I cannot help but laugh with them! Renee and Glenn conducted their engagement session in Old Town Pasadena (Los Angeles). Since Los Angeles is mostly concrete, Pasadena is a real gem since the area is built mostly with bricks.

Before five minutes even passed into our session, we ran into some cool street musicians! One had a rustic guitar and the other had a harmonica. Renee and Glenn practiced their first dance on the sidewalk, which was fun to photograph and fun to watch. :)

Afterward, we asked if we could borrow the guitar so that Glenn could be a rock star for a few minutes.

We found this kitchen alley to be so cool. It reminded me of SOHO in New York.

The LAB Engagement | Annie and Ty

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Yo,

After seeing other photographers take pictures at this wicked location with leaking barrels and etc., I sought out this location and wanted to see it for myself. For those who do not know where it is, the location is called “The Lab” in Costa Mesa. It is a small mall, or should I say “Anti-Mall,” that houses a small number of trendy shops.

The Lab
2930 Bristol Street
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
714-966-6660

I photographed a super chill couple – Annie and Ty. Check it out!
