It has been a while since Cindy and Jerome’s rainy engagement session at Downtown Los Angeles and Old Town Pasadena. This time our adventure took us to their hometown in Alhambra where they tied the knot at Almansor Park. Cindy and Jerome practiced their traditional Chinese ceremony early in the morning as a sign of respect to their elders and in return, ask for their blessings. Before Jerome could enter Cindy’s house, he was subjected to a series of “tests” that the bridesmaids made up. One of the tests, Jerome had to bribe the ladies to unlock the front door. Jerome made it rain through the door with nothing but one dollar bills; the ladies were not amused. Luckily, he still managed to squeeze himself in with just a few dollars! Check it out.

Make it rain!

…my stiff competition at Almansor Park

I love the color scheme. ^_^

I love the coordination of shoes!

Sorry Cindy, that Jaguar is only a rental. Jerome had to return it after their wedding.

Cheers!!!

Liquid confidence at its best. With enough in your system, anyone can be a singer (just kidding).

Thank you Cindy and Jerome for the fun memories. Danny and I had a blast being part of your wedding!

Cheers,

Since my engagement session with Sandra & Holger , there have been quite a handful of couples who inquired for “themed” engagement photos. Out of all the themes, vintage fighter jets ranks as one of the most popular category; I do not blame them at all. For this engagement session, Troy flies a F-18 Super Hornet as a profession, so he was able to fit right in! Flying a fighter jet that can easily break the sound barrier and dodge bullets is a little too much for my stomach to handle. It is a crazy job, but I commend Troy for his patriotism.

Unfortunately, we did not have access to a F-18 Super Hornet for the photo shoot, but the Air Museum in Palm Springs was more than happy to welcome us to use their beautiful planes. The museum hosts a rare collection of planes dated back from WWl to now. Of all the planes, the blue Corsair and Stearman PT-17 were my favorite!

We were allowed to walk inside the B-17 Flying Fortress to see all the compartments where the fighters once sat and fought.

After we had our fill with fighter planes, we drove around Palms Springs to a very classy resort to conclude our engagement session.

…Troy cleaned up quite well after jumping out of his uniform. ^_^

Good dog!

I hope you all enjoyed Andrea and Troy’s engagement photos! Danny and I will be flying out to Lake Tahoe to photograph their wedding this weekend (July 3rd). I will keep you posted on our crazy destination weddings!

Over and out,

P.S. – For the boys who wonder where Troy got his outfit – Sorry boys, you have to be a U.S. fighter pilot to get one of those snazzy suits.
