Greetings,

Pauline and Julio were an amazing pair! Their main goal for their wedding was to make sure everyone had fun, in which they succeeded. Pauline started her preparation at her parents’ house in Burbank. Pauline’s preparation process was an interesting one. Her mom insisted to be the makeup artist for the wedding even though it was her first time applying makeup on anyone. After a few attempts, the mom managed to even out the makeup on Pauline’s left side of her face with the her right side. Check out the pictures and you will see how well the makeup turned out for Pauline’s wedding! =D

Pauline named each of her tables at her wedding with a Christmas theme…even Mr. Grinch. =X

…I do not know how she managed to groove with the beat at The Castaway all night with those tall wedding shoes!

Of course, all wedding rings deserve their own photo session!

Mom’s first attempt at Pauline’s makeup

We made use of the golden tree and the sunset in the background as our backdrop for Pauline’s wedding photographs =)

Pauline’s wedding dress had a low-cut back, which showed off her beautiful tattoos!

I love the craftsmanship on that chair!

After the wedding ceremony adjourned, we made use of the vacant chapel for a few pictures. =)

After we finished, we all headed back to the hilltops of Burbank at The Castaway restaurant for their reception. The view of the valley from The Castaway was breathtaking. If anyone is interested in checking out The Castaway, the address is as follows:

The Castaway
1250 E Harvard Rd
Burbank, CA 91501

On a side note, if anyone is in need of a pastry chef, Pauline is the gal for you! Pauline and her coworkers provided all the sweets, cupcakes, and pastries for everyone that attended the reception at The Castaway. All I can say is that I have never tasted red velvet cakes like that before!

Peace,

Hello,

I had the opportunity to photograph with Amber on one of her Day After wedding photography sessions. We started at the graffiti alley in the Art District in Downtown Los Angeles and continued to the Los Angeles (LA) Union Station. For this Day After wedding photography session, all the textures I used were provided by Tofurious.

After the graffiti alley, we all made a trip to the Los Angeles Union Station. The picture below is where the Union Station hosts all their wedding banquets.

Los Angeles Union Station
800 N Alameda St
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 683-6875

We utilized the sun rays that entered the large colorful windows at the Los Angeles Union Station to get this cool shot! What is great about using Tofurious textures is that even though the follow two pictures were taken at the same place, each texture gave a different mood to the photograph.

The setting sun gave the entire inside of the Union Station a warm glow. We just had to end our Day After wedding photograph in the middle of the Union Station where the sun rays were entering!

Thank you Amber for letting me photograph this Day After wedding photography session with you! Also, thank you Tofurious for providing the super cool textures for me to use in every picture!

Over and out,

Hello,

Lawrence, Gavin, and I had the opportunity to photograph at the beautiful La Venta Inn located at the Palos Verdes Estates. The view from La Venta Inn (Palos Verdes) was spectacular! On a clear day, you can see Los Angeles and the Palos Verdes coast all the way to the horizon. Sujin and Jesse started their preparations at different sides of the La Venta Inn. We managed to snap some fun photos before their wedding started.

La Venta Inn
796 Via Del Monte
Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274

Of course we have to get the entrance sign =)

Simple yet beautiful!

Sujin never goes anywhere without her bear. The bear was actually part of the wedding party!

Boys will be boys

La Venta Inn had plenty of trees to lend as a convenient backdrop. We borrowed a handful of furniture from the boys’ preparation room to take these cool pictures!

Marriage can do this to a guy!

Jesse getting in touch with his feminine side

Without any signs of overcast during the wedding ceremony, the lights that illuminated below in Los Angeles and Palos Verdes gave a beautiful light show!

Lawrence and Gavin assembled a camera for the guests to photograph themselves with a remote just like a photo booth except with a giant backdrop!

La Venta Inn’s reception hall was simply stellar!

Special thanks to the coordinator of the day, Roxy, at La Venta Inn for performing a flawless job!  I look forward to working with you again and again in the future!

Ciao,

Hello,

Our next adventure takes us to Costa Mesa at the Wyndham Hotel. While Ty and his entourage were busy setting up the wedding, Annie and the girls got prepared in one of the rooms at the Wyndham Hotel.

Wyndham Hotel
3350 Avenue of the Arts
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
(714) 751-5100

When strapped for resources, use either a magazine or a makeup brush to photograph the wedding rings!

Aww, the wedding dress =)

The Wyndham Hotel’s courtyard offered plenty of photo opportunities, especially with the fountain in the back and towering palm trees in the front =)

We found this plaza across the street from Orange County Performing Arts Center. The plaza offered random rocks, fountains, and sculptures to work with during the private session. Obviously, she’s not really that tall =P

Why the face?

Ty trying to act cool =D Just kidding, he really is.

Congratulations Annie and Ty for the fun wedding day! It was our pleasure to photograph your joyous occasion.

Best,

Hello,

I had the opportunity to photograph this spunky couple’s engagement a few months ago. Renee & Glenn had their wedding at The Westin in Pasadena right across the street from Pasadena City Hall. You will see pictures of them running around Pasadena City Hall in a little bit, but first and foremost - Renee’s preparation in her suite with the ladies at The Westin.

westin address

Since The Westin has very large windows, it offers a clean background to photograph the wedding dress!

I am big fan of Toki Doki and it seemed like so were they!

Abercrombie & Fitch models for the bride ^_^

The girls on the balcony at The Westin waiting for Glenn to arrive

Renee taking advantage of their first glance before the wedding!

Renee struck a pose in the lobby at The Westin (Pasadena)

…and Glenn tried to outmatch Renee’s pose

We blocked traffic across the street from Pasadena City Hall for a few fun shots! =)

The boys jumped around on the same street at Pasadena City Hall

The walls along The Westin offered beautiful colors and designs to use as a back drop for the bride and her wedding party!

That’s not nice

This picture was taken at the Asian Museum across the street from The Westin in Pasadena

I just had to =D

The ceremony was hosted on the outside courtyard at The Westin. The fountain and architecture were a perfect opportunity for great wedding pictures!

Their first kiss!

Thank you Renee and Glenn for hosting such a wonderful wedding at The Westin! Tang and I had a blast partying with you two!

Best,
