I had so much fun hanging out and shooting Miyon and Jason!  They definitely kept me laughing the whole time and every time I look back at their pictures, I can’t help but smile

Thanks again for an awesome time and for showing me around your hood!  I’m so excited for your wedding in a few weeks!

First stop: Ferry Building Marketplace

I love the architecture of this building!

One of my favs!

Then a couple on our way to location #2

Another fav

Second stop: Local dog park with Plum

How cute is she?

I love the pink pearls Miyon got for her

Miyon’s shoot were sooo cute!

The light under this willow tree was perfection!

Last stop: Legion of Honor

Love this one of them

And the reason why I was entertained the whole time :)  Jason kept dancing and Miyon lovingly went along with it.  So cute!

And a couple more…

My favorite from the session

Calamigos Equestrian | Burbank, California

It was one hot day in Burbank, but nothing could stop Jenni and JP from being wed in front of all their families and friends. Jennifer and JP have an adorable son together - so it wasn’t just a marriage between the two of them, it was a marriage to bring them together as a family.

Jennifer and JP - thank you so much for all the love you showed us during your wedding day and making us feel like one of the guests! It was such a pleasure to document your wedding day (and I’m looking forward to a day-after session )

Special shout-out to Alex for coming along and shooting with me as well as Natalie Williams for shooting and helping man the photobooth!
Jennifer getting all glamed up…

and looking very bridal

First look…

And a quick portrait before the ceremony…

The girls

and the boys… who somehow didn’t all jump at the count of 3

They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the grounds of Calamigos. Jennifer’s mother escorted their son down the aisle and both Jenni and JP looked so happy!

A few portraits before the reception

Somethin’ a little different

Love these next two pictures of them!

I’ve been waiting for Mark and Vanessa’s wedding since I shot their engagement session in January. They are the most sweetest and down to earth people - and so completely in love. Their wedding was nothing short of fabulous and it was such an honor to be there to document their day. Shout-out to Kerrie of Platinum Weddings by Kerrie, Sarah K. Chen and Thuan - I love working with you guys!

Thank you again Vanessa and Mark! I love you guys and I wish you two lots of love and happiness in your lives and marriage.

I loved the details on Vanessa’s dress and shoes…

And her bouquet, made by Flower Allie, was so fresh and beautiful.

Vanessa didn’t look too bad herself!

The boys… taking their time.

How cute is this!

A toast to Mark’s last few hours as a single man

A few portraits of Vanessa as we waited for the ceremony to start. Doesn’t she look so beautiful!!

Vanessa was escorted down the aisle by her brother

Married!

Right after the ceremony, I headed to The Madison for some detail shots before the guests arrived. Vanessa did an amazing job of putting together everything together! All of the table were named after different places they have/hope to visit.

Then headed over to join Sarah and Thuan for the portraits.

I love this picture of them!

This was taken right before we got kicked out by homeland security. Apparently we weren’t allowed to take pictures there… but of course it’s always ever to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission

While we waited for the police man to give us our license’s back… I snapped this picture of the new Mr. and Mrs.

First dance as husband and wife

A cute moment during the toasts.

I love cake (and coffee)!

Dancing the night away.

I had so much fun at Jenni and JP’s wedding last May! and before I post more teasers from their fabulous wedding, please enjoy their fun photobooth slideshow!

Hyatt West Hollywood | West Hollywood, California

I was so extatic when Jeremiah and Christine asked me to shoot their wedding! I shot Jeremiah’s sister’s wedding last winter, so I knew it was going to be an amazing time. And what a beautiful wedding it was - filled with joy and laughter and amazing details! And the venue couldn’t be more beautiful - it was set on the roof-top deck of the Hyatt overlooking all of Hollywood.

Christine and Jeremiah - thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of your day. You and your friends and families are awesome - you made Alex and I feel so welcomed because of your kindness. I wish you two nothing but the best in your lives together!

Gorgeous dress and shoes:

Christine was such a beautiful bride!

The boys… i don’t really know what they’re doing

Just a few of the amazing details…

Alex captured this one of Christine and her father walking down the aisle.

A quiet moment

They’re definately cuter than the models behind them

A few more details.
