My life somehow revolves around apples. I like apple juice. I like baking apple pies. I also like playing the board game, Apples to Apples. Of all the places I have visited, a part of me will never leave the Big Apple (New York City…for those who do not know). I take any opportunity to fly back out to New York; whether it is to photograph a wedding or just to visit some familiar faces. As for this trip, Joanne and Brian gave me the pleasure to photograph their engagement session.

I love seeing people with those “Free Hugs” signs. Despite how gloomy a person’s day may be, the simple things in life such as a huge can brighten anyone’s mood.

Brian may not be a sailor from WWll, but he managed to pull this off quite well. =)

I have to give a special thanks to Tiffany (one of my lovely brides) for the help during this engagement session. Thank you Joanne and Brian for the wonderful day. I look forward to seeing how your wedding unfolds!

Since I started this blog entry with apples, it is only courteous to end with a good apple quote. “How you like them apples?” – Matt Damon

This wedding has to be one of the most interesting adventures for me this year! I got a phone call from Jenn to fly to Milwaukee, WI to photograph her summer wedding. Of all the places, I would have never thought of photographing a wedding in that state. After Jenn gave me her itinerary, Vu Bui ( The Bui Brothers) and I packed our bags and flew across the country! After our arrival in Wisconsin, everything else afterward was one hell of a ride. Check it out!

Since their wedding was at a botanical garden, we tried to photograph these details to match the environment.

Boys will be boys ^_^

I suppose this a good way of getting the party started.

…the anticipation.

Lookin’ good ladies!

Sorry boys, the gals got you all beat in the previous picture.

Of course, more alcohol!

Lighting some cigars is a good way of mellowing out towards the end of the night filled with laughter and festivities.

For the grand finale, the best photo to top off my trip in Wisconsin:

For those who do not know who the person in the picture is, he is Jonathan Davis – the lead singer from Korn! The band was gracious enough to let us watch them practice before their show at The Eagles Room in Milwaukee. Thank you Jenn and David for such an awesome wedding. Thank you also for the tour around Milwaukee and all its history and culture. This wedding will definitely be one of my favorite of all time!

Rock on!

Who knew that integrating skulls and bones on a wedding cake can be so tasteful? Landon and Robby’s wedding was hosted at the beautiful Electra Cruises venue in Newport Beach. I had the opportunity to photograph weddings on these yachts in the past, but never had I seen the entire interior of the yacht decorated in black drapes paired with black bows and chair slips! These two love birds really have an eccentric taste in life. Even though everything was decorated in black, they still kept the tradition of a stunning white wedding dress. Landon actually designed her own wedding dress too!

Is that a cool wedding cake or what?!

After the yacht docked, Landon and Robby were escorted in a classy Rolls Royce to Huntington Hyatt to conclude their wedding.

Hello everyone,

Lawrence had the opportunity to photograph Michelle and Chirag’s wedding at the beautiful Laguna Cliffs Marriott Hotel in Dana Point, CA. The pictures taken from this Indian ceremony were absolutely amazing. Indian ceremonies are one of my absolute favorite due to its use of colorful and intricate designs on their clothing. Without further ado, I present Lawrence’s artistic perspective of how he captured this beautiful wedding.

You can dance anywhere, even on the street! The entire wedding party danced away like no one was watching. It was such a joyous sight to see!

I dig the flowers =)

After the wedding, Lawrence took the boys aside to take some portraits. As you can tell from the following photographs, Lawrence is not your typical wedding photographer!

Congratulations Michelle and Chirag. Thank you for the invitation to your wonderful wedding!

Best,

Disneyland always holds a special place in my heart. Disney lives up to the name, The Happiest Place on Earth, due to its attractions and its beloved childhood characters! Christy and Mike shared the same perspective as me and had their engagement photo session taken place here. Luckily, we all had season passes to enter Disney again and AGAIN! I suggest everyone to get a pass because Disneyland is seriously not a place where you can experience everything in one day. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the pictures from our adventure. ^_^

Although this place is reserved only for Disney employees, they were gracious enough to lend this section for our engagement pictures. These blue stairs went in all directions, which made this photo extraordinarily weird…yet so cool at the same time!

Out of all the rides and attractions offered at Disneyland, my stomach hated the teacups the most…

There is always time for ice cream!!!

Bobble heads!

We just had to end our engagement session with all of us behind Sleeping Beauty’s castle. =)

Thank you Christy and Mike! Both Danny and I had a blast! We look forward to your wedding next year at Japanese Friendship Garden at CSULB (California State Universty, Long Beach)!

Over and out,
