Santa Barbara Four Seasons Wedding | Jessica & Michael

January 6, 2014

It is finally time to post the lovely Jessica and Michael’s destination wedding photos! It was a beautiful morning when we all headed up north to Santa Barbara Four Seasons where Jessica and Michael prepped up for their grand day. The ladies all started their day bright and early at a local boutique hotel where their makeup artists did a great job and Michael and the boys horsed around while they suited up. From Jessica’s amazing wedding dress to the flower arrangements, everything was planned perfectly. Words cannot really describe how beautiful their wedding was, so I will just let their wedding photos do the talking.

On a side note here at Four Seasons, there were one hilarious outtake after another. I believe that despite how perfectly you plan your wedding, the unexpected turn of events are what makes a wedding so memorable; nerve racking or not! One of the more memorable outtake was 5 minutes before their wedding ceremony, the alter collapsed from the wind! All the wedding vendors quickly rushed to the alter and tried to put it back together. We facilitated each vendor to hold up a pillar while I tied everything down with telephone cables (that was all I could find at the moment). Once everything was tied down, we anchored it with sandbags from our light stands. We did everything we could at the moment and just prayed it will last through the quick ceremony before the wind wanted to go for a second round. Luckily everything stood strong throughout the ceremony and their wedding photos turned out perfectly. The rest of the day went according to plan during their reception and everyone danced the night away from Jack Hou’s sweet beats. Enjoy!

Hold on Closely | Jessica & Michael

Downtown Los Angeles

It was a beautiful summer afternoon when Wilson and I photographed Jessica and Michael’s engagement session in Downtown Los Angeles. Since these two live in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, it is only fitting to host their engagement photography session here. We started off their engagement session in their cozy apartment even when they were getting ready for the photo shoot. The subtle details before the actual shoot made their story a bit more complete. We ran around from the heart of Downtown LA, to the public park nearby, Los Angeles Union Station, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, and wrapped up their engagement photo session at beautiful Hotel Figueroa. This may seem like a lot of locations, but luckily everything was in Downtown LA and was only a few minutes driving distance between each location. The most challenging part was finding parking!

Jessica and Michael wanted something more edgy and a bit of spice in their engagement photos. These two were not traditional at all and wanted their photos to reflect how exciting and fun they are, and I must agree they are definitely interesting characters. Michael requested that his favorite Jeep was to be involved during their edgy engagement photo session; why not, right?! After we left their apartment, we parked his Jeep on a dirt path and lit up our strobes for some really sweet photos! After we wrapped up the edgy engagement photos with their Jeep, Jessica changed into an amazing traditional Chinese dress for our next location at Los Angeles Union Station. I must admit, the choice of her outfit and the era of LA Union Station matched perfectly! Since she was in her beautiful outfit, we chose to add a few extra edgy engagement photos in Chinatown to complete their outfits. Before we concluded the night, these two changed into a more elegant gown and wrapped up our edgy engagement photo session at Hotel Figueroa with some more classic black and white photos.

I hope you all enjoyed their amazing engagement photo session here in Los Angeles. Keep posted and wait for their elegant destination wedding photos from Four Seasons in Santa Barbara!

Wrapping Up 2013

December 21, 2013

It has definitely been a great year from beginning to end. There is a lot to be thankful about from all our adventures. We were honored to attend so many special weddings and participate as not only as wedding photographers, but bask in the love of everyone there. This year as wedding photographers took us all over the world to record so many precious moments. I must admit, this was one heck of a roller coaster ride filled with never ending excitement. I just cannot wait for what next year’s wedding photography will have in store for us. Hopefully next year we will not have any problems running into certain authorities; that I can tone down a bit! Either way, what is the fun of a wedding if we do not run into a bit of trouble along the way, right? Below is a quick highlight of the engagement, family, and wedding photos that we have photographed throughout the year. Unfortunately, I was not able to post all my favorite engagement and wedding photos on this post without creating too much clutter. Rest assure, I will get to blogging each and every one of these joyous events in detail with their own gallery of wonderful engagement and wedding photographs!

From our Furious Photographers crew, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a amazingly happy new year!
From your friendly neighborhood wedding photographers – Doug, Danny, Wilson, Geoff, Joseph, and Jason.

Summer Love | Amber & Mike

October 30, 2013

It was a beautiful sunny summer day in Long Beach when my lovely couple, Amber and Mike, tied the knot! Since they were locals in Long Beach, it was more sentimental for them to host their wedding on the beach. What was really intimate about this wedding was that everything was hosted at the beach a block away from their house and the wedding reception was hosted at their backyard. Something about backyard weddings make things so sweet. I suppose it is because almost everything about their wedding was hand crafted with love and thought.

Amber and her girls woke up bright and early to get their hair and makeup done while Mike and the boys hurried up and finalized the last bit of the wedding details. Since the wedding was at the beach, the cool breeze rolled in which was nice and a bit of a challenge for the alter to stay in place. The alter actually blew down a couple times before we totally anchored it down and knotted every pillar! Wilson and I lent a helping hand and secured the alter with the boys after we wrapped up the photos with the girls. I suppose being an Eagle Scout came in handy with the knots and staking the alter to the sand! Check it out.

The day cannot get any better than this! The sky was blue and not a cloud in sight. There were so many smiles and the love was abundant. Even though this was a wedding, everyone ran around all over the beach in their best dressed outfits!

Group photo!

One of my childhood friends, Chris, showed up and looking good as always.

Since the day was so beautiful, we took Amber and Mike around the beach for some wedding photographs of just the two of them. After running and jumping all over the place, we somehow wrapped up the wedding photography session up on a tree. Don’t ask how that happened.

Off to party at the wedding reception!

After everything was done and over with, Amber wanted to do a sweet photo on her friend’s motorcycle. Shows how spirited she is, huh?

Congratulations again to the both of you. It was our pleasure to be your wedding photographers in such an important milestone.

Disney Concert Hall Wedding | Tammy & Patrick

July 16, 2013

My sweet couple, Tammy and Patrick, tied the knot! This quirky couple had a bit of a Halloween twist to their wedding since they got married the day before everyone went to trick-or-treat. To recap from their engagement session, Tammy and Patrick ran around Downtown Los Angeles with a more eerie theme in mind. To keep the theme going, they just spiced up their wedding with a splash of Halloween too. To kick start their day, Danny, Phebe, and I dropped by their cute pad in Echo Park during Tammy’s make up session with the gals. Once everyone was ready to rock, Tammy and Patrick had their first look over at Disney Concert Hall located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. We ran around up and down Disney Concert Hall for the following wedding photos. Their unique attire matched up quite nicely! Check it out.

After the wedding, everyone headed over to Japanese Gardens in J-Town to get their party on and enjoy the reception. Pretty cool wedding cake, huh?

Congratulations to the both of you, Tammy and Patrick. You two were definitely a wonderful pair. It was great being your wedding photographer at Disney Concert Hall and Japanese Gardens.
