This is new categories that I am adding to my blog entry. As a photographer, I wanted to create my own inspirational board for my readers.Certainly, I am not a stylist so I will make this brief and simple. It’s more like Tammie’s favorite things.  As I browse Internet, it always amazes me how amazing these modern brides look on their wedding photos.  Each have their own distinctive style. I am old fashioned. I still love laced wedding gown and mantilla veil on brides personally, but as a photographer I love photographing a bride who wants to be daring!
I guess these hair pieces represent  ”Vintage” with modern twist.
I just love them!  Jen and Jamie at Ban.do do such a wonderful job. I love their new dramatic ones.  You should definitely visit their site.
So if you are looking to make statement and not afraid of having fun how about we do the session with some of these hair pieces.  Or wear the veil for your ceremony and wear these for your photography session.

Few weeks ago, my dear friend Matt asked me to shoot with him at the Trisha and Steven’s gorgeous wedding in Rancho Las Lomas. If you are getting married and looking for a location this is the place! The weather was so perfect and Trisha and Steven were very laid-back.
Here are few of my favorites of the day!
Trisha and Steven were in game for everything we asked them to do. Well, Trisha was very fit so we made them run little bit!

My friend Matt is the romantist himself. It was wonderful to watch him at work. I love this peaceful moment that we captured.
Now, you know why wedding photographers love to shoot weddings at The Rancho Las Lomas!- Don’t you just love this yellow swing?
Matt was nice enough to let me shoot this one!

I love everything about this shot!
Father and daughter dance – I am always drawn to the emotions captured in photography. This little man Nate asked me to dance. -yes he did…

I just came back from my birthday dinner with friends but I have to post this beautiful wedding that I shot last Sunday. Robin and Johannes met through a mutual friend. A beautiful aspiring actress from Pacific Palisades meets a talented music producer from Germany. Their simple but stylish wedding ceremony was filled with love and emotion. I was hired to shoot their ceremony only, but I love photographing intimate ceremony like this one. I overheard that they even celebrate first kiss anniversary. How cute is that! Their family and friends flew in from the distance and Robin’s best friend helped with flowers. Robin and Johannes’s gentle soul must have touched many lives.
Enjoy this teaser entry guys, Thank you for letting me document your wedding day!

Lulu, the flower girl. Who I photographed the most next to bride and groom

I tried little bit of Jose Villa + Me on these images.There is a big advantage of having talented photographer as a friend. They know how to capture you more beautiful than you really are! I love this picture of me, Marie shot. Can’t you just feel how happy I was that day? Thank you Marie!

Simply beautiful bouquets were provided by Renae’s Bouquet

Stunning Make-Up and hair service was provided by Mar from T.E.A.M make-up & hair. I wish I knew Mar when I got married. Her style is so elegant. I just love her! I am thinking of an excuse to get Mar to stylize me. Super fun and beautiful Lacie was wearing dress by Jenny Lee collection. I am happy when I capture true spirit and personality of a person I photograph. There were other gorgeous shots of her, but I think this image is my favorite of Lacie. Hope you like it as much as I do Lacie! Shelbie and Gerado was our couple of the day. Sweet Shelbie was wearing this elegant dress by Melissa Sweet. Shelbie, I hope you enjoyed your modeling debut. Thank you for being so accommodating and patient with us.
