Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving went swimmingly and everyone put in some holiday pounds for the winter! First off, I apologize for the long delays on my wedding posts, but I will finally get back on track. To kick start the first wedding blog post, Ezina and Dax finally tied the knot at beautiful Beverly Hills Hotel. While Dax hung out with the boys and watched football, Ezina and her ladies dolled themselves up and enjoyed the morning. Ezina had a particularly interesting custom made wedding dress, which suited the wedding just right. While our love birds prepped up for the big day, Danny and I took some awesome photos of their wedding ceremony site. The wedding site had SO MANY white roses and a cute gate to match.

This wedding was a blend of Jewish and Persian cultures, which complimented quite nicely. There was also a rare instrument that was used during the wedding ceremony that used only the vibration of glass to create music! Without anymore delay, enjoy Ezina and Dax’s fairy tale wedding photographs!

Congratulations again to the both of you. It was a pleasure being your wedding photographer at Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Cheers,

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Santa Monica where Pamela and Tim decided to host their wedding. For all those who live in Los Angeles, a beautiful afternoon in Santa Monica does not only relate to the weather, but it also means no traffic on 10 and 405 freeway!!! Throughout the entire wedding, there were so many different cultures that were contributed to this beautiful event. I personally have to say that the best addition were the live mariachi bands that played throughout the entire reception. I am such a sucker for live bands, so this might be a bias opinion. =)

Pamela and Tim started their wedding with their preparation at Hotel Angelino. Since they dressed up at the same location and were not to see each other until the ceremony, I was quite entertained as I watched their entourage patrol the hallways and elevators. Get comfortable everyone, this is going to be a long wedding blog. There were too many fun filled photos that I cannot omit!

Pamela and Tim provided each member of the wedding party an “emergency wedding box,” which consisted of the following items:

- Tylenol
- Water
- Redbull (gives you wings!)
- Double Mint chewing gum
- Cheetos

St Timothy’s Catholic Church

There is something about this photo that captured my attention. Tim’s mother was eager, yet patiently, waited before she walked her son down the aisle.

A cigar bar was set up for everyone to celebrate prior and during the reception.

Congratulations again, Pamela and Tim! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful.

Hello!

Time sure flew by since Bryn and Joman’s engagement photo session at Universal City Walk in Universal Studios. Now Bryn and Joman tied the knot at Cathedral of our Ladies of Angels in Los Angeles! It was such a beautiful and festive wedding. Everything about their wedding was perfect! Instead of talking about it, I will let their wedding photos tell the rest of their story. =)

While I accompanied Joman, Danny and Kevin took care of Bryn and her bridal party. This was my favorite detail shot of the day!

A sweet ride escorted Bryn to the Cathedral of our Ladies of Angels where Joman patiently waited for her

Even on Joman’s wedding day, he would not change that wallet.

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels

Los Angeles, California 90012
Tel: (213) 680-5200

The boys had some spare time to check their emails and play on their PSP =)

Cathedral of Out Lady of Angels offered a beautiful background for us to take a few wedding photos before the wedding ceremony

Sorry fish, today was not your day…

Here comes the bride!!!

The breathtaking moment when they finally kissed as husband and wife. This is always my favorite part of every wedding!

The architecture and color inside Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels gave a rustic feel to our photos

After the ceremony, everyone made their way to the reception hall located on the side of the Cathedral.

These two took me by surprise the entire night from starting off with an amazing first dance to Joman Reggae freestyling for his guests!

I hope you all enjoyed these pictures as much as I did.

Ciao,

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 photographed from random places.

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!

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!

Over and out,
