Rock n’ Roll 4 Life! | Jenn & David

Monday, December 28th, 2009

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.

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

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!

Their wedding was hosted at Casa Magna Marriott in Cancun. That hotel was immaculate and the food / service were to stellar! Tiffany and Ly had an outside wedding along the beach overlooking the turquoise ocean. Check it out!

Island of the Ladies | Colleen & Hector

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Hola!

Cancun is such a wonderful place to get married! During Spring, Cancun offers a breezy 80 degree weather with low humidity. The best part of Cancun is the unbelievably turquoise ocean that looks like a huge jello bowl!

Colleen and Hector chose their wedding to be hosted at Isla Mujeres – a beautiful island off the coast of Cancun. It was a small and intimate wedding. The location (Vista de la Luz at Isla de la Mujeres) Colleen and Hector selected offered such a spectacular view that I do not even know how to describe it.

Location:
Vista de la Luz – Casa O’s
Isla Mujeres

Is that a view or what?! Colleen and Hector conducted their wedding ceremony on one of those piers alongside the coastline!

I thought it was suitable to use a present box for my wedding ring shot. =)

I am always a sucker for red wedding shoes!

Ahhhh, the curlers. Getting ready for a wedding is serious business!

Here comes the bride! The pier was just large enough to fit all the wedding attendants…at least everyone got VIP seats. =P

After the wedding ceremony, a mariachi band serenaded Colleen and Hector while they walked back indoors for refreshments.

While the rest of the wedding party enjoyed cocktail hour, the couple snuck out for some sweet wedding pictures together!

These two really knew how to impress! Vista de la Luz of Isla Mujeres was a nice choice. Thank you for all the fond memories. I am grateful to have been your wedding photographer! The very next day, we photographed another wedding – Tiffany and Ly – at Cancun Casa Magna Marriott.

Best wishes,

Return of the 67′ Bug | Claudia & Alex

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Ahoy there,

Claudia and Alex finally tied the knot at Ebell Club in Long Beach! I always love photographing weddings at Ebell Club. Ebell Club’s location, interior design, food, and service is absolutely great! I had the opportunity to photograph Claudia and Alex’s engagement photo session at the Japanese Friendship Garden in CSULB (Cal State University of Long Beach) about a month ago. This quirky couple wanted something from the norm, so we tried our best to deliver just that! Check it out!

We took the wedding party to Hilltop Park in Signal Hill to capture the city of Long Beach in the background. Hilltop Park is a wonderful location to take any wedding party for photographs! The view was breathtaking!

This was one of the many images that were displayed during the reception at Ebell Club. It was entertaining to watch most of the guests turn their heads to figure out how this photograph was taken. =P

Vow Renewals | Gabriella & Daniel

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Hello,

I assisted Kevin Vu in this wedding located in Orange Country. This was the first time I photographed a couple renewing their vows. Gabriella and Daniel had an intimate wedding vow renewal with just their immediate family as witnesses. The wedding ceremony was quick and sweet. Enjoy!

After the wedding ceremony, we roamed around Orange Country to take a few pictures before we headed to Orange Hill for their reception. To avoid the chilly day, a cafe owner was nice enough to let us stay warm and take some wedding photographs!

The top of Orange Hill has a spectacular view of Orange Country! Gabriella and Daniel wanted one of their wedding photographs to be taken on a ledge at Orange Hill to capture all the lights below.
