Christina & Aaron | Engagement | LA Arboretum, Los Angeles

April 2, 2013 – I would like to introduce everyone to Christina and Aaron! They are probably two of the busiest people I have met but still made time for a fun relaxed engagement session at the LA Arboretum. From the first time I received an email from Christina I knew Christina and Aaron would be a blast to work with. We had a great time wondering the LA Arboretum, a beautiful venue where you can easily spend your whole day at. It was fun to hear the stories of Aaron and his encounters with birds and mountain lions.It has been a pleasure working with Christina and Aaron and I can’t wait for their wedding later this year.

Shuja & Olivia | Engagement Session | Palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Park, Sutro Bath | San Francisco, CA

March 16th 2013 – The Bay Area will always have a special place in my heart as that is where I was born and raised. So when Shuja and Olivia contacted me regarding a wedding out in the Bay Area later this year, I was ecstatic to know I’ll be back in Northern California to shoot a wedding. Shuja currently lives in San Jose and Olivia is currently going to school out in Houston, Texas but will soon be done and be back in the Bay Area. Both Shuja and Olivia are two of the most down to earth person you will meet. Not only were they so fun to hang out but when it came down to taking some photos in in super windy conditions, they didn’t hesitate to walk on the ledge of Sutro Bath. It was truly a pleasure to have met both Shuja and Olivia.

For their engagement session, we decided to head out to San Francisco for a fun beautiful engagement session. We first stopped at the Palace of Fine Arts, a real popular tourist area in the Marina District of San Francisco. We then headed a little way down to Golden Gate Park to take advantage of the gorgeous forestry surrounded the park. We ended the session at one of San Francisco’s hidden gems, the Sutro Baths Sea Cliffs. I can’t wait for their wedding later this year up in the Bay!

 

Jessica & Sasada | Wedding | Friendly Hills Country Club | Whittier, Ca

February 17, 2013 –  The 2013 wedding season started off with a bang! I had the honor of shooting the wedding of Jessica and Sasada at the Friendly Hills Country Club in Whittier, CA. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon at the Friendly Hills Country Club as friends and family of Jessica and Sasada gathered from all around the globe to attend their majestic wedding. I loved being part of their wedding as they are sweetest couple you will meet.  The ceremony was elegant but at times very entertaining as the officiant did a great job entertaining the guests. The wedding continued into the night as guests were treated to a delicious dinner along with great entertainment.

The best part of the wedding to me was how much fun I was having working for their wedding. I love hanging out with Jessica and Sasada as they are two of the coolest people around. You just get this sense of comfort when you are around them, I’m sure those that know them will testify to that. Congratulations Jessica and Sasada! Thanks for letting me part of your wedding!! It was a blast!

Gie & Sam | Wedding | Dream Wedding & Banquet Hall | Los Angeles, Ca

Dec 22, 2012 – The last wedding of 2012 was one for the books. My good friend Sam and his wife Gie had a wedding reception for their friends and family in the United States. Earlier last year they held a wedding out in the Philippines but many did not have the opportunity to attend, so they decided to have a wedding reception out in Los Angeles. It was a night of celebrities, with the talented Arden Cho (www.ardencho.com) mc-ing the reception. Performances by Gerald Ko, Arden Cho, Jason Chen (www.jasondchen.com), and Paul Kim (www.paulkimmusic.com) entertained the guests all throughout the night. It’s always a bonus when I get to document the wedding day of a friend as there is nothing more special than being able to be their photographer.

Congratulations Gie & Sam! Thank you for allowing me to be part of this fantastic day. It was a blast seeing you once again!

Kathy & Aaron | Wedding | Neighborhood Church, Norris Pavillion | Palos Verdes, Ca

November 17th, 2012 – For those that have had the opportunity to meet Kathy & Aaron, you would understand when I say they are two of the nicest, chillest, most sincere people you will ever meet. How awesome are they? It was cloudy and drizzling on their wedding day but not once were they stressing about the weather. Rather they were all smiles throughout the whole day and nothing was going to stop them from having the time of their lives on this very special day.

The day started early for the bride as Kathy and her 8 bridesmaids got ready bright and early for the big day. While Kathy was getting ready, Aaron was across town with the guys getting ready himself at his grandma’s house. The ground was a little wet from the sporadic rain that was coming down but that didn’t stop guests from attending the ceremony of Kathy and Aaron at the beautiful picturesque Neighborhood Church in Palos Verdes, Ca. Family and friends then headed down the street to Norris Pavilion for a night of great food, entertainment, and drinks. Guests were treated to an evening that included heartwarming and funny speeches by the best man and maid of honor, fun dances, a photo booth and a special Lion Dance performance.

It was one of those weddings where everyone including the vendors all had a great time. Congratulations Kathy & Aaron. Hope you guys are having the time of your life on your honeymoon.
