Jaywalking | Renee & Glenn

Monday, November 17th, 2008

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.

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!

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

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

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

Walk the Line | Lisa & Sam

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Hello,

I had the opportunity to photograph Lisa and Sam’s lovely wedding in the Fine Arts Building in Downtown Los Angeles. Lisa and the girls started their day at the Los Angeles Sheraton Hotel.

I love the craftsmanship of these rings!

Since Lisa’s hotel was walking distance to the Fine Arts Building, we took many urban street pictures along the way.

Lisa and I walked on the center line in the middle of a main street! Although we stopped traffic for this picture, it was well worth the risk!

Cake on Fire | Linda & Carlos

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Hello,

This wedding was a bit different compared to the other weddings I have photographed. The itinerary that Linda and Carlos sent me only had two events:

1. Preparation – Hotel Figueroa
2. Wedding – Marvimon (Los Angeles)

Anything can happen in between.

We started at Hotel Figueroa, which was AMAZING! Those who are fans of rustic architecture and designs would fall in love with this hotel. Linda reserved the Hotel Figueroa Casablanca suite. The name of this room explains itself. Check it out!

Despite not having an itinerary for this wedding, everything went smoothly. Everyone at the wedding had fun, which was the most important aspect of any wedding celebration!

Fly Balls! | Christina & Vee

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Hello,

This wedding was my first time photographing a Thai Water Wedding Ceremony. I always look forward to having the opportunity to photograph weddings from different cultures. Christina and Vee’s wedding adventure started in West Covina, to Cerritos, to Long Beach, and finally to the Old Ranch Club at Seal Beach.

After the wedding ceremonies, everyone drove over to the beautiful Old Ranch Club. With the extra time before the reception, we snapped away at the golf course while avoiding any flying balls.

I just had to post this picture up. I loved everyone’s reaction because I had to jump off of my chair to be high enough to photograph this picture. I was surprised the photograph actually came out!

The second time, I dragged a table over to stand on. The DJ suggested that Christina and Vee should share a kiss in front of everyone!

Congratulations Christina and Vee! I had a blast photographing your awesome wedding!
