Normally, as a wedding photographer, we try to take the fastest route to every destination in order to save time and prepare before our bride and groom make their entrance. In this case with Jody and Pierre, since their wedding was hosted at the beautiful Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, I just had to take the scenic route! The fresh ocean breeze and the air that brushed through my hair was intoxicating. Even though I had to comb my hair again once I arrived, it was so worth it. While Steve hung out with Jody and the beautiful ladies at the bridal suite that provided the best view of Pelican Hill’s golf course and cliffside, I shot the breeze with the boys in their villas. The boys’ day started with a morning of relaxation that included straight razor shaves for everyone. I suppose not only ladies have the option of being pampered before a wedding!

Pierre provided each of his groomsmen custom cufflinks engraved with their initials as a wedding present.

Look at the size of that rock on the wedding ring! Everything on that ring was beautifully crafted. Pierre even took it to a jeweler to have fingerprints and dust removed prior to the wedding in order to make it sparkle at its best.

A few photos of the boys with their drinks before game time!

…and more drinks.

While Pierre and his entourage waited patiently at the alter, I took the liberty to snap a few photos right before Jody walked down the aisle.

All stand for the lovely bride!

Sealed the deal!

Jody and Pierre’s cute flowergirl took the spotlight for a few moments.

The first dance as husband and wife!

Before we concluded the night, Jody and Pierre took a stroll back down to the alter. Not too shabby for a last photograph of their wedding, right? =)

Congratulations again to the both of you!

Cheers,

Who knew that integrating skulls and bones on a wedding cake can be so tasteful? Landon and Robby’s wedding was hosted at the beautiful Electra Cruises venue in Newport Beach. I had the opportunity to photograph weddings on these yachts in the past, but never had I seen the entire interior of the yacht decorated in black drapes paired with black bows and chair slips! These two love birds really have an eccentric taste in life. Even though everything was decorated in black, they still kept the tradition of a stunning white wedding dress. Landon actually designed her own wedding dress too!

Is that a cool wedding cake or what?!

After the yacht docked, Landon and Robby were escorted in a classy Rolls Royce to Huntington Hyatt to conclude their wedding.

For those who do not remember Sudhir and Kim, I photographed their engagement session last spring at Los Angeles Union Station. Sudhir and Kim hosted their wedding at Cerritos Library, so that means library voices were strictly enforced when we ran around the different corridors the library had to offer. Despite the constant glares of curiosity from people who studied at the library, my newly weds kept their composure and enjoyed their day and gave their audience a show during our portrait session. I now introduce to you – Sudhir and Kim!

There was a blend of two cultures for this wedding. A Cambodian wedding ceremony was held early in the morning to compliment Sudhir’s culture and a traditional Western ceremony was performed afterward for Kim. This was actually my first time photographing a Cambodian wedding. There were four different performances; each bearing its own significance.

Howdy,

On Saturday, Steve Hoffmann and I photographed Britney and Jeff’s wedding! Being sweethearts since high school, the two of them finally tied the knot in Laguna Beach at Occasions.

Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Occasions at Laguna Village (Orange County) is an awesome location that overlooks the ocean. I recommend it to any bride who wants a beach wedding

While Steve handled Britney’s preparation session, I was with Jeff and the guys. They got ready at

Inn at Laguna Beach
11 North Coast Highway
Laguna Beach, California 92651

Inn at Laguna Beach also overlooks the ocean, so it’s a totally rad place to hang out before the wedding. Jeff had a team meeting before his departure to marry the girl of his dreams! 1-2-3-HOORAH!

With some time to spare, the guys decided to horse around with Jeff’s nephew har har (I bet he was not laughing though).

Despite the beautiful wedding, we did not get any blue sky or sun! The fog rolled in thick and heavy.

YAY!

While trekking down the streets to the beach (above), I stopped them midway in an alleyway to take some more saucy pictures tee hee. I told them not to worry because we will get the “safety shots” for the parents and kids to see.

Here is the safety 0:- )

mMMm a delicious looking cake! The seashells are all made of sugar – yum!

Britney and Jeff’s first dance as husband and wife. I had a large strobe setup on the right side lending that awesome light.

Obviously, the night ended with a lot of dancing.

Congratulations Britney and Jeff! I wish you two the best!

Greetings,

Tang and I recently photographed at the beautiful Summit House in Fullerton (Orange County). I previously shot there with Tang as well for another wedding. The location is full of green foliage and colorful walls.

We knew it would be a blast when Gina and Nate decided to share their special day with us. Having the opportunity to photograph their engagement session, it allowed us to break the ice. Naturally, these two look like models so taking nice pictures was not at all hard. Thank you Lisa for introducing them to us!

A dress dress so beautiful, it could have been the pharaoh’s queen’s.

Don’t you love the play with lighting? Awesomeness.

Oh what a treat for Nate! Just married indeed.

Gina’s beauty was the envy of all girls that day. Everyone just looked adoringly at her!

The trees in the background filtered in just enough light to make a stellar backdrop.

What a spunky couple!

Gina and Nate were such a happy couple! Even if the sky was falling, I doubt they would have even cared as long as together. <3

Check out this chic centerpiece!

This winner for the bouquet toss had such a flair that I had to post her up. Congratulations!!!

I will end with this image because they look so cute! The following truly exemplified their fun attitudes

Thank you Gina and Nate for sharing your marvelous day with us. We had a total blast

Sincerely,
