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!

Linda’s friend handmade this wedding dress!

This bridesmaid is always up for a little fun in the spirit of Halloween!

Carlos and I stumbled upon this cool looking garage door in back of the hotel.

Carlos was just a little excited about his wedding!

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!

Over and out,

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.

Wedding couple’s first dance =)

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!

Best,

Howdy,

Dian (Dee) and Liang just tied the knot last weekend! I met this awesome couple through Angie and Cheston; every one of them a UCLA graduate! Woot!

Dee got ready at the Pasadena Westin Hotel. They also had their after party there as well Check out Dee’s pajamas! Moo!

Sorry Dee, this picture was too awesome to not post! : )

San Gabriel Mission fountain!

For those who are willing to brave the danger, step onto the tracks!

This picture was by Julie. I love how she used (green) negative space to emphasize Dee. It’s simple, mysterious, but pretty!

Got to love Dee’s shoes

Hi peeps,

Yes, I lag in blogging. On the bright side, I am so so so close to launching my new project! Stay tuned, seriously.

Anyway, Steve and Linh recently graced me with the opportunity to photograph their wedding at Rancho Sol Del Pacifico, which is a breathtaking private estate on the cliffs of Malibu (Los Angeles). The owners of the property – Al and Barbara Rotter – were super cool to work with. What I loved the most about Rancho Sol Del Pacifico were the animals! There were cats, dogs, more dogs, and more dogs!

Warm thank you to Angel for coordinating the event – awesome job! Brides – check her out!

Steve and Linh are from Atlanta, Georgia. They wanted to get married in Los Angeles to take advantage of the sunny weather. Unfortunately, on their wedding day, you guessed it, it rained. Since Rancho Sol Del Pacifico is located so high in the Santa Monica mountains that we were practically in the cloud’s level.

While driving up the untouched Santa Monica Mountains to Rancho Sol Del Pacifico, everyone was greeted with these pleasant ushers in orange (prison?) jackets.

As part of Vietnamese door entry games, the groom is posed with various challenges by the bridesmaids to prove his love and worthiness for his bride. In this particular situation, Steve had to pretend to be a plane!

To prove that he will be a good father, Steve had to wrap a diaper on one of his groomsmen. :S

Once Steve proved his love for Linh, they had a Chinese tea ceremony where the bride and groom serve tea to their friends and family members.

Lastly, Steve and Linh had a Western ceremony. Since it was raining outside, everything was done inside the tent. This young fellow loved to steal the limelight :O

Alas, the rain did not permit us to take advantage of the view, but we made due.

This was the coolest cat in the world! I think his name was Dolce.

The seating arrangement was all pinned onto a cork board. Below each name had a clue that hinted where they will be sitting.

Barbecue and paella for dinner? Yum!

A simple, but timeless wedding cake. Also yum!

Lastly, we took some pictures in near darkness at the driveway of Rancho Sol Del Pacifico. The lights on the palm trees coupled with the fog gave it a mystic look. What were Steve and Linh doing?

Cheers,

Hello Everyone,

For the people who do not remember Jennifer and Long, I photographed their engagement sessions not too long ago in Laguna Beach. They finally tied the knot today! Long came over to Jennifer’s house in style. Being in a BMW sports crew, he rolled by with about 20 BMWs just to make a grand entrance.

You have to love the decorations on that car.

They lit the fireworks to officially start the ceremony.

We encountered an unexpected thunderstorm, which threw off our schedule. What I love about weddings is that I get to improvise and have fun doing it. Here is our best man taking one for the team by pulling up a chair in the middle of a parking space in Old Town Monrovia to save a spot for the newly weds.

Not seeing any sign of the rain stopping, we all moved to a parking structure in Pasadena to continue our photo shoot. Fortunately, Pasadena rained sporadically, which gave us windows of time to snap away before the rain came down on us again.

Another great job from All Made Up!

Man and machine!

Even the rain cannot stop us from having a blast! Congratulations Jennifer and Long!

Peace,
