Good evening all!

With the year almost drawing to an end, I hope everyone has fulfilled their New Years resolutions. I admit that I am one of many that did not due to unexpected circumstances and laziness. Fortunately, there is always next year! One the brighter note, at least one of my resolutions have been successful: photograph a bunch of weddings and become great friends with my wedding couples. One of the many wedding couples that became great friends are Kelly and Dean. Their wedding was at beautiful La Venta Inn that sits on the hilltop of Palos Verdes Estates. It was a lovely weekend when the sun shined beautifully and their wedding photographs shined even more.

Danny and I started our day when we photographed Kelly and her gals in her private suite located on the far end of La Venta Inn while Dean and his boys hung out at the main hall. After we took enough wedding photos of Kelly and her ladies, we wrapped up the photo shoot with Dean and his boys on the streets! With enough spirits in their system, the boys were willing to stop traffic for some amazing wedding pictures! Check it out!

A sweet touch with the wedding rings (get it?) =D

While the ladies continued their makeup session, we took Kelly’s wedding dress and took some fun pictures.

Dean and his cute son! This was a priceless moment with father and son…and Dean’s attempt to put his son’s tuxedo on right before the wedding.

Group effort!

After the wedding ceremony, we had time to take Kelly and Dean around LA Venta Inn’s property for their wedding photography session.

Instead of the traditional wedding cake, they had cupcakes for everyone and they were delicious!

Kelly and Dean shared a kiss to kick start their reception and partied the rest of the night!

Congratulations again to the both of you, Kelly and Dean. It was a pleasure to be your wedding photographer. It is always a grand experience to photograph here at La Venta Inn again.

Cheers,

It sure has been a while since I have posted my last adventure as a wedding photographer. I apologize for the delays, but I will make it up with some pretty pictures! As for my first post, this wedding took place during the end of December of last year. Yes, I have not blogged any weddings for that long. Of course my couples all received their wedding albums, so do not worry! I just prefer to take my time writing something thoughtful about each event. =)

It was a beautiful winter day when Aileen and Gregory finally tied the knot at Huntington Hyatt. Danny and I started our day with Aileen’s bridal preparations. During our stay in her suite, she provided everyone with music by singing at the top of her lungs. For those who have not read the blog about their engagement session, Aileen will sing lively chords whenever she is excited and happy. Anyway, without further ado, I present to you my singing bride and groom!

Brides always and should get extra perks for their weddings. In this case, Aileen got a classy Rolls Royce with a chauffeur. Poor Gregory had to drive himself. Who said that chivalry is dead? I beg to differ. ^_^

It is always a touching moment of the wedding ceremony when a mom escorts her daughter down the aisle.

Fortunately, the weather was to our favor, especially during the winter. Throughout the wedding ceremony, the sun and ocean provided a warm breeze for all the wedding guests.

…I still wonder what people do with that jar of sand after the wedding. =P

At last, the kiss that sealed the deal!

During cocktail hour, Aileen and Gregory let their guests mingle while we went off to take some portraits. As you can tell from the next photograph, they were faster runners than Danny and me.

Check out that wedding cake! This cake matched the theme and season perfectly. This beautiful cake was not only for aesthetics…it was so delicious! Gregory knew that I love wedding cakes, so he let me have the first choice of slices. The top tier was carrot cake, middle was red velvet, and the base was chocolate.

After the formalities were out of the way, Aileen threw on the red chucks to get the party started!

One group shot of everyone…

…and one awesome group shot of the vendors!

Thank you Aileen and Gregory for the wonderful memories. Aileen, sing to your heart’s content forever!
