Crown Plaza Redondo Beach Hotel Wedding {Surjaya + Justin} July 18, 2009 :Weddings

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

I had a pleasure photographing Surjaya + Justin’s weddings in Redondo Beach, California

I only have just one thing to say about this gorgeous couple. Surjaya and Justin are both one of those people that this world needs more. I can only hope that my images can describe half of who they are. I am pretty sure their friends and family completely agree with this statement. Surjaya and Justin best wishes to you! Once again thank you for allowing me to photograph your beautiful wedding. A very big special thanks to Leslie Talley, who came to document this wedding with me. It’s a photographer’s dream to work with a close friend all the time and I have been getting that dreams come true lately. The wedding day seems so much shorter when I work with my talented friends.

Here are few of my favorites and you know there will be more.

Los Angeles Photographer, Sacramento Wedding {Jennifer + Jason} : Destination Weddings

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

In short, Jennifer and Jason’s wedding was hot and steamy. I don’t know if these two would have had it any differently.  It seems like their friends and family were more thrilled when Jennifer and Jason decided to tied the knot after 11 years of being together.  The wedding took place at their beautiful home in Roseville, CA . Everyone helped regardless of above 100F weather last Saturday. It was really hot afternoon and wedding ran about hour and half late, but I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. It was so much fun hanging out with the cowboys and the sweet ladies.  I am so sorry guys that I couldn’t sit and drink with you all, but you will see why I couldn’t work under the influence of  “the cold one”. I had only 20 minnutes with the bride and groom. Here are few preview images that I promised. There are many other fun photos but you will have to wait for those. Thank you for making Andy and I feel so welcomed. Jennifer and Jason, I wish you many more years of happiness and health. Cheers!

My favorite of the day!

Now, those of you -especially the photographers who care how I created this shot? There was no videographer or the video light.  And there was no ambient right what so ever. I was deligent about setting my portable lights up this time.  The result is facinating.  I think I am going to have to do this more often. And I must thank the ladies who blew those bubbles for me.

Manhattan Beach Wedding Photographer, Tiffany + Chris 05.09.09

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Here comes  my first post of the year! Why does Tiffany + Chris get priority? Because Tiffany is my new best friend.  I will tell you how Tiffany and I met on a follow-up post because it is a long and amazing story. Tiffany and Chris were married in Christian Agape Circle in Gardena, CA  last Saturday. Their wedding was flawless with the help of the amazing staff at Christian Agape Circle and their talented friends.  I would say it was like having 10 wedding coordinators.  A Winner of Fox Channel 11, The Chef,  Emma Tate from Culinary Delight  prepared delicious refreshments for the beautiful reception on site.  I will share more of the wedding details on my next post.  Here are few teaser images that I promised Tiffany.  Tiffany and Chris, your wedding day was filled with so much love and blessings, I pray that this is just begining of your awesome life together.  Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a lovely union.  Enjoy this preview and have a wonderful time in Hawaii!

Burbank Wedding, Amy + Byron 08.02.2008

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Congratulations Amy and Byron! Thank you for letting me be a part of the cool gang(?) for the day. You guys were so awesome! When I heard the word “Bowling Alley” & “wedding”, I was not sure what to expect but the day turned out to be filled with many surprises and I always enjoy shooting with my dear friend Matt. It was a hot and humid day in Los Angeles but everyone made our job so easy. Byron is serving our country as a US Marin and Amy is a one beautiful woman inside and out. Amy smiled through out the day regardless of uncomfortable weather and Bryon stayed by his gorgeous bride’s side through out the day. These two were inseparable. Latin American weddings are always filled with so much family love, music and the dance. I am a softy inside so I cry often while I am shooting, this time it was watching Amy dancing with her father. Byron’s dance with his mother was equally beautiful. I absolutely feel fortunate to be a photographer in LA that we get to shoot many different religious and cultural weddings. Thank you Matt, it was fun shooting with you! Here are some of my favorites of the day.

My favorite image of Amy!
