Good afternoon everyone,

Another sunny day here in Los Angeles and the temperature is only going to rise from this point and on. Summer is rolling in, so better break out the sunblock! After being out in the sun for the past few weddings, I have already developed a fairly proud looking watch tan! Our next crazy adventure took us to Marina City Club in Marina Del Rey for Marci and Faustino’s wedding! To bring new readers up to date, Faustino was one of my super cool classmates during my UCLA days. It is always great to see good friends tie the knot and be a part of their beautiful wedding.

To start off their story, Marci had her makeup done and dressed to her best at Marina City Club while Faustino and his boys wrapped up the final touches at the church. Once everything was prepared, the wedding went off without a hitch and it was smooth sailing from there. Check out the wedding photos below and enjoy the show!

Congratulations again to the both of you. It was a real pleasure to be your wedding photographers!

Good evening everyone,

It is great that Los Angeles is getting substantially warmer now. Oddly enough, I do miss the cold winter breeze at night when I walk around the city. I suppose the grass is greener on the other side. Nonetheless, I hope the weather stays like this for a while here in Los Angeles before the heat wave rolls around in a few months.

Talking about breeze, it was a beautiful Spring season in Malibu where Maital and David held their wedding at Bel Air Bay Club. The weather was right and the cool breeze from the ocean rolled in all day throughout the wedding. Danny and I started our day here at Bel Air Bay Club with Maital and all her ladies while they prepped themselves up at one of the larger conference rooms that had a beautiful balcony that overlooked the beach. Since Maital and David wanted a first look and their wedding portrait session done before their grand wedding ceremony, our wedding party was able to maximize their wedding photography session before any of their guests arrived. Since the balcony that overlooked the beach was a beautiful spot, we started their first look and wedding photography session there. Check it out!

While I photographed Maital along during our wedding photography session here at Bel Air Bay Club (Malibu), Danny went off and photographed the David and his boys while they horsed around with the photo booth props!

After their first look over at Bel Air Bay Club’s grand balcony, we ran around the resort and photographed the following wedding portraits.

Once our wedding photography session was over, Maital, David, and their family members joined together to sign the Ketubah. Once that was taken cared off and both family rejoiced, Maital and David prepared themselves for their grand wedding ceremony over at the Bel Air Bay Club lawn that overlooked the ocean.

KISS!

When the beautiful Jewish wedding ceremony came to a touching end, it was time for these two to party hard with all their wedding guests during cocktail and reception! There were so much hugs, love, and laughter throughout the entire night while each significant family member gave their toast to our beloved wedding couple. On a side note, since Maital already anticipated David was going to try something sneaky during their wedding cake cutting, she wore an entire plastic cover to protect her wedding dress. Clever girl prevented herself a large dry cleaning bill if she was to have anything deliciously bad happen to her wedding dress. Check out what happened with the following wedding photos!

Congratulations again to the both of you, love birds. It was definitely our pleasure to be your wedding photographers here at Bel Air Bay Club in Malibu on such an important milestone.

Cheers,

Good morning everyone,

This morning in Los Angeles has been rather moody. First there was heavy rain, then sun, then rain, and it looks like the sun is peeping out of the clouds again. Hopefully, by the time my photo shoot starts today, the sky will clear up to capture some sweet photographs of this vintage Nissan Skyline that just arrived from Japan. For all those car junkies out there, yes, be jealous! Although I try to keep my wedding photography, commercial photography, and car photography separate, I suppose for those car enthusiasts you can check out JDM Zipties for our car photography blog.

Now back to our next wedding photography lineup! It was a moody day when Muriel and I photographed Jazmin and Arturo’s wedding. During their wedding, the morning showered a bit, then was sunny before any of the guests arrived in their intimate backyard wedding in Burbank. This backyard had so much cool decor and colors to compliment their wedding photos. Whoever designed that pad did a really great job! One section of the house that caught my attention during the wedding was that there were a bunch of colorful ladders that leaned against the side of a wall as a piece of art. I was not able to resist myself and took their bright red ladder as a prop for Jazmin and Arturo’s wedding portrait session. Check it out!

Creative wedding photography with a sweet ladder! I firmly believe that art is everywhere and you can photograph any wedding in any location; you just need to know how to take the picture. =)

First dance as husband and wife

Touching moments like the following photograph makes my job as a wedding photographer so rewarding.

To conclude the night, we thought it fun to include their wedding cake/cupcake tower in their wedding ring photo. =)

Congratulations to the both of you and I wish you two the very best.

Hello world,

I hope everyone is ready for Radhika and Saresh’s two part Indian wedding ceremony because this next wedding blog entry will be quite lengthy with a lot of sweet wedding photographs taken from beautiful Rancho del Diablo Dormido located in the canyons of Malibu (Los Angeles County). Our Day started bright and early where Radhika was still finalizing how she wanted her hair to look and Saresh just lounged about while he patiently waited to see his bride for the first time. I suppose these are one of the wedding perks of being a groom or groomsman. Then again, that means the bride and bridesmaids should have more wedding photos taken since they spend hours getting ready! Either way, both parties looked dashing in their colorful traditional Indian wedding attire. As wedding photographers in this Indian wedding at Rancho del Diablo Dormido, it is actually our pleasure since not only the colors of the Indian wedding attire made the photographs look amazing, there was so much character here at this Malibu ranch to compliment each wedding picture. There were a handful of small details that were placed throughout Rancho del Diablo Dormido that was sentimental to Radhika and Saresh, which included a lot of interesting dolls (wedding photos shown below). There were different flowers, parasols, and even mail boxes all in different color variations to give their Indian wedding a bit of edge and creativity. Without anymore delays, I present to Radhika and Saresh’s beautiful Indian wedding hosted by yours truly Rancho del Diablo Dormido here in Malibu.

With all these colorful mailboxes, Danny and I had to make use of it when we photographed Radhika’s wedding details. In this case we paired her wedding shoes with the mailboxes in the following wedding photo.

This was definitely an interesting first look in any wedding. Normally a bride will just tap on the groom’s shoulders. In this funky couple’s case, she ran from behind and gave him a bear hug!

Aww, that wedding bouquet brings out Saresh’s eyes.

Before all the wedding guests arrived, we managed to capture a few photos of where they will host their Indian wedding. The bright drapes and all the parasols made this ceremony stage so lively and amazing!

For the next phase in a traditional Indian wedding ceremony, these two had just too much fun. In any case, it made awesome wedding photos.

Saresh’s dad rooted them on in these following wedding photo!

Radhika and Saresh kept their wedding reception simple, yet elegant. Each table has a specific color scheme and also complimented each other.

Once the speeches were done and every wedding guest had their fill, they burned out all their calories with sweet beats and danced the night away!

Congratulations to the both of you again, Radhika and Saresh. It was an absolute pleasure to be your wedding photographers for this amazing Indian wedding ceremony. Although your wedding happened over a year ago, it was definitely worth the wait, right? =D

Good afternoon everyone,

The gloomy clouds have entered into the valley and covered up “former” sunny Los Angeles. Hopefully, it will just pass through by tonight because I will have a photo shoot outside tomorrow in Downtown LA! To add some color in my day, I suppose it is only suitable to post up Radhika and Saresh’s epic two day Indian wedding special! For Indian wedding traditions, these weddings can last a few days. In Radhika and Saresh’s case, it was just an intimate two day shindig. I will be writing two separate wedding blogs just to keep their wedding photography entry a bit more organized. For those who forgot our lovely wedding couple Radhika and Saresh, Danny and I photographed their engagement photo shoot over at Echo Park (Los Angeles). Their sweet engagement pictures can be found here. Without further delay, I now present Radhika and Saresh’s first day in their Indian wedding ceremony!

I hope you all enjoyed this quick summary of their Indian wedding ceremony with all the traditions and hennas. Stay tuned for the next post of Day 2 of their wedding photos!

Cheers,
