LA Times Engagement Photos | Nita & Manu

December 13, 2011

Ahoy there!

Nita and Manu’s engagement photography session in Los Angeles was a rather unique one! Since Manu is employed by Los Angeles Times, we gained access to photograph their stylish engagement shoot in the actual building without any interruptions. Throughout the photo shoot, Manu gave Danny and me a tour around the building and its rich history. The top floor of Los Angeles Times building was untouched since the 60s which had a very vintage feel towards everything. Or course we had to make the most out of this top floor and photograph to our heart’s content.

After we all had our fill at LA Times Building, we headed to Disney Concert Hall and Santa Monica to wrap up our engagement photography session for some colors. We walked and played in the water until sunset and concluded our photo shoot.

This Calls for Cigars | Pamela & Tim

October 18, 2010

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Santa Monica where Pamela and Tim decided to host their wedding. For all those who live in Los Angeles, a beautiful afternoon in Santa Monica does not only relate to the weather, but it also means no traffic on 10 and 405 freeway!!! Throughout the entire wedding, there were so many different cultures that were contributed to this beautiful event. I personally have to say that the best addition were the live mariachi bands that played throughout the entire reception. I am such a sucker for live bands, so this might be a bias opinion. =)

Pamela and Tim started their wedding with their preparation at Hotel Angelino. Since they dressed up at the same location and were not to see each other until the ceremony, I was quite entertained as I watched their entourage patrol the hallways and elevators. Get comfortable everyone, this is going to be a long wedding blog. There were too many fun filled photos that I cannot omit!

Pamela and Tim provided each member of the wedding party an “emergency wedding box,” which consisted of the following items:

– Tylenol
– Water
– Redbull (gives you wings!)
– Double Mint chewing gum
– Cheetos

St Timothy’s Catholic Church

Los Angeles, CA 90064-2307

There is something about this photo that captured my attention. Tim’s mother was eager, yet patiently, waited before she walked her son down the aisle.

A cigar bar was set up for everyone to celebrate prior and during the reception.

First dance as husband and wife

Congratulations again, Pamela and Tim! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful.

Hollywood Engagement Photography | Nina & Tom

October 18, 2010

Hollywood has so much history in terms of the City of Stars, along with all the movie sets and tourist attractions. Tom actually works in the movie industry, so Hollywood was an ideal place for these two love birds to have their engagment pictures taken. We started out at the Kodak Theater and moved along Hollywood strip. It was fortunate that Tom knew his way around secluded areas in Hollywood to avoid the hustle and bustle of the traffic generated from the cars and tourists that populated the streets.

Kodak Theater
6801 Hollywood Blvd # 180
Los Angeles, CA 90028-6139

It took a few rounds for this photo. There were too many kids playing in the fountain at the time and stood in front of my camera. I should have taken a few photographs of those kids that danced in front of me. =)

Roosevelt Hotel
7000 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90028

There were many beautiful murals such like this following engagement photo all over the walls of Hollywood. Nina and Tom somehow always took interest in this specific one.

We later drove down a few miles on the outskirts of Hollywood for some peace and quiet in a local park to conclude our engagement photo session.

Nina and Tom hosted their wedding at Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica early this Summer.

Peace,

Beach Day! | Hanny & Monty

August 10, 2010

It was a perfect day in Santa Monica where the sun and everyone else enjoyed their day-off lounging about at the beach with their family and friends! Hanny and Monty, who were from Germany, also flew down to visit family and bask in the warm sun rays. This lovely couple originally met each other at a jazz club in Germany. Whether it was the ambiance, jazz music, or Hanny, or a little bit of everything; Monty could not take his eyes off her ever since that memorable night. Hanny and Monty approached me for a fun and stylish engagement photography session during their visit in Los Angeles before they returned to Germany to get married. Danny and I started off the engagement session at 3rd St. Promenade and made our way around Santa Monica jumping from one location to another. Check it out!

Thanks again, Hanny and Monty. Sorry again for calling you Martin the entire time. =D

Best,

VooOom…! | Beth & Nick

December 29, 2009

Before I begin this entry, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, and a prosperous New Year. I hope everyone were able to spend time with their family and people they hold dear to. ^_^

My next destination took me to the beautiful beach of Santa Monica. There is something really romantic about that place…I think it is the colorful ferris wheel on Santa Monica Pier. You cannot tell a romantic story without a ferris wheel! Since Beth and Nick are natives to this little city, there is something sentimental about having their engagement photos done there. Since Beth bought Nick a motorcycle for their anniversary, they decided to add that into their collection of engagement pictures. Strap your helmets on kiddos, this is going to be a fun ride!

Santa Monica, CA

Since Santa Monica was giving 3rd Street Promenade a face lift, there were a lot of construction during that time. Beth and Nick decided to be a bit adventurous and climbed up the scaffold to avoid the grime from below. I love couples as crazy as me! ^_^

I totally forgot what this pizza place was called, but the food was SO GOOOOD! The management of this establishment graced us with their kitchen to snap a few engagement pictures before we made our way to the pier.
