Calamigos Ranch Wedding | Sabrina & Will

September 11, 2013

It has been over a year since my good friend, Sabrian and William, tied the knot over at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu and I still remember all the fond moments and hilarious outtakes that happened at his wedding! To get a good idea, some of the outtakes were a bit too much to be included into their wedding photo gallery. To kick start their day, everyone relaxed over at Hyatt Hotel where the girls booked a couple suites for the extra space, while the boys were given only one room. Especially in weddings, the ladies deserve better treatment than the boys. For this summer wedding, Sabrina and Will wanted to add a bit extra color to the already colorful wedding venue at Calamigos Ranch with vibrant parasols for each of the bridesmaids to shade themselves from the sun. After the wedding party were prepped up and gathered at Calamigos Ranch for Sabrina and Will’s “first glace,” we ran all over the wedding venue for wedding party photos! The Ferris wheel, and merry-go-round complimented the wedding party’s colors perfectly!

It was a touching wedding ceremony at The Cottage Pavilion. I suppose it was an even more touchy ceremony since they are my friends and a handful of my friends were in the wedding party. Once the deal was sealed with a kiss, all their wedding guests were escorted to the reception hall to conclude the rest of the wedding with speeches, drinks, and laughter! Enjoy.

Skirball Wedding Photography | Jamie & Joey

September 8, 2013

It is always great to not only photograph a wedding at a beautiful venue such as Skirball Cultural Center at Santa Monica, but also to be a guest. I suppose I am at an age where my friends are slowly proposing and hosting weddings quite frequently now. One of my dearest friends, Jamie and Joey, finally tied the knot! These two college sweet hearts have dated for some time since college and Joey eventually popped the question after graduation at UCLA! Although they moved back home to Maryland, their hearts and friends are still in California. What better way to host their wedding than over here at Skirball Cultural Center in sunny Santa Monica.

Although even at sunny California, their wedding started off with rain and lots of it! Although the downpour had a few setbacks, this did not dampen their spirits at all. Jamie and her girls started off bright and early at a local salon in Korea Town, Los Angeles with plenty of coffee and donuts to warm themselves up while Joey finished the last of their wedding preparations at Skirball Cultural Center. While the hairspray and makeup session went on, our cameras did not stop clicking away from a distance. Once everyone’s makeup were done, we all headed our way to Skirball Cultural Center to meet up with Joey and the boys for their “first look.” Luckily, shortly before Jamie was all ready in her wedding dress and shoes, the rain retired and the sun popped up just in time! Talk about getting lucky! Once these two love birds met up and checked each other out, Wilson, Phebe, and I immediately started the photography session with the entire wedding party before the ceremony.

Their wedding ceremony was quick, short, and sweet. To top it off, there was a song performed by one of their wedding guests to make things even sweeter! The entire wedding felt like it breezed by so quickly once their reception started. There were exchanges of sweet speeches by their friends and family and finished with Jamie and Joey thanking everyone for participating in their joyous occasion. Enjoy their wedding photos!

Goldfish and Diamonds | Jina & Terence

September 6, 2013

It has been quite some time since Jina and Terence’s wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, but I still remember that great event like it happened recently. Jina and Terrance both prepared in their designated hotel rooms at Hyatt Hotel nearby and relaxed with their wedding party. While all the ladies enjoyed their time getting pampered and their makeup done, the boys still sprawled out in their pajamas and shorts while they watched TV. Aside from photographing every important of their wedding from beginning the end, the perks of photographing their preparation stage is that there are always snacks around. In this case, Goldfish crackers were abundant at the Jina’s suite, so that just means the girls will have more photo coverage! Since the boys were able to suit up and groom themselves within an impressive time of 10 minutes, Danny and Wilson took the boys around Hyatt Hotel for a few wedding portraits before they made their way to Calamigos Ranch to meet up the rest of the wedding party for Jina and Terence’s “first look.”

Once everyone made it to Calamigos Ranch, we got the show on the road from an adorable “first look” when Terence amazed by how beautiful his bride was to their awesome wedding photography session before their ceremony. It is always a pleasure to photograph weddings at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu since there is so much color here and this wedding venue even has a Ferris Wheel and a merry-go-round! Once our crazy wedding group photos were all done and finished, we slowed down for some sweet photos of just Jina and Terence. With the extra time ahead of schedule, Jina and Terence took a short breather before their grand entrance for their wedding ceremony!

It was such a touching wedding ceremony with all eyes on Jina while she walked down the aisle. The wedding was short and sweet with a few vows in between. After they made everything official and sealed it off with a kiss, everyone made their way to the reception hall and partied all night long! One really awesome event during reception was before dinner was served, everyone yelled out “BANZAI” a few times to get all the wedding guests pumped up! I actually joined in for the last shout. Enjoy the show!

Congratulations again to the both of you, Jina and Terence. It was a pleasure to be your wedding photographers at Calamigos Ranch, Malibu. Until next time!

Disney Concert Hall Wedding | Tammy & Patrick

July 16, 2013

My sweet couple, Tammy and Patrick, tied the knot! This quirky couple had a bit of a Halloween twist to their wedding since they got married the day before everyone went to trick-or-treat. To recap from their engagement session, Tammy and Patrick ran around Downtown Los Angeles with a more eerie theme in mind. To keep the theme going, they just spiced up their wedding with a splash of Halloween too. To kick start their day, Danny, Phebe, and I dropped by their cute pad in Echo Park during Tammy’s make up session with the gals. Once everyone was ready to rock, Tammy and Patrick had their first look over at Disney Concert Hall located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. We ran around up and down Disney Concert Hall for the following wedding photos. Their unique attire matched up quite nicely! Check it out.

After the wedding, everyone headed over to Japanese Gardens in J-Town to get their party on and enjoy the reception. Pretty cool wedding cake, huh?

Congratulations to the both of you, Tammy and Patrick. You two were definitely a wonderful pair. It was great being your wedding photographer at Disney Concert Hall and Japanese Gardens.

Hello Yamashiro!

July 13, 2013

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone here in Los Angeles and Orange County found shelter and have a nice cold drink to compliment this extreme heat in the valley.

This next wedding entry took be back to Yamashiro back in Hollywood! It has definitely been a while since my last wedding at Yamashiro with Danny. Nonetheless, it is always a real treat to come back up here for any joyous occasion! Aside from photographing weddings and events here, the perks about working here is the grand view of Hollywood and the Los Angeles at night. For this wedding at Yamashiro, we not only photographed the wedding, but the images were also used for Yamashiro to showcase their venue to future wedding clients. Check it out.

For those who are touring Hollywood or are actual locals in Los Angeles County and have not visited Yamashiro, I would definitely encourage everyone to swing on by for some good Japanese cuisines. After dinner, you can walk off your food in their gardens and enjoy the night lights from the top of the hill!
