Vy + Linh's Wedding: 12/20/2010 - Seems like it was just the other day I met Vy and Linh and did their e-session (oh wait, it was!). But in the last month, I've quickly gotten to know them and am now proud and honored to have photographed their wedding this past Saturday. Kudos to William Kim and Anna Lam for helping me out :). The day was filled with non-stop fun and excitment. We had a traditional tea ceremony at Vy's house, followed by a Catholic ceremony at Holy Spirit, some portrait time nearby at Mile High Park, and finally, the oh-so grand reception at Mon Cheri. It may have seemed a bit overwhelming, being a 13+ hour day and nearly 600 guests at the reception, but Vy and Linh smiled, laughed, and enjoyed the company of their loved ones every second of the way. I want to give major, major thumbs up to Fayth and her team at Three Petals for completely transforming the banquet hall at Mon Cheri into an AMAZING reception room (over 50 tables I think). The place looked stunning, you guys are wicked good! And of course, a big thank you to Fayth, who was also the maid of honor, for introducing me to Vy and Linh :).

Rebekah + Jeremy's Wedding: 2/13/2010 - It's always an honor (and a bit nervewrecking) to photograph a photographer's wedding. But even more so when both are photographers and one actually shoots wedding herself ;). R + J's big day last weekend at Verandas Manhattan Beach included guests from all over the country, including FOUR generations of family. I know I say this a lot, and I do mean it every single time, but being at Rebekah and Jeremy's wedding was like hanging out with a group of old family and friends. When I got to the getting ready hotel and Rebekah introduced me to her family, including her grandparents, great grandma (how awesome is that?), and her two adorable little cousins, I KNEW the day was going to be amazing. And what a beautiful wedding it was, filled with so many sweet, sweet moments and gorgeous details. It's always a pleasure working with Sarah at Verandas, she's such a wonderful young lady who makes sure the day goes smoothly while ensuring the vendors are all taken care of. Big ups to Scott Norris of Coastline Music for being a great MC/DJ, Jenny Liu for second shooting, and Austin Kurtz for assisting me again. Thanks again to Rebekah and Jeremy for trusting me to document their memorable day :). Please check out some of my fav images below!

Melissa + Adam's Wedding: 2/12/2010 - My 2010 wedding season couldn't have started any better than with Mel and Adam's memorable day last Friday. Not only are these two insanely in love with each other, but they have a group of amazing family and friends that care so much about them. We started the day at a nearby hotel capturing Mel and the girls getting ready, followed by photos of Adam and the guys re-getting ready at the church's men restroom :). The church that they go to must be one of the most modern and biggest ones I've ever seen! The night was filled with so much emotion; the toasts from Mel's sister and Adam's brother were memorable to say the least. Then we had a blast partying the night away with some killer dance music and yes, guitars from the DJ/MC, Curtis Whipple. Special thanks to my past groom and now wedding photographer Austin Kurtz for flying all the way out from Chicago to assist me, what a trooper he was! And a big congrats to Mel + Adam. I'll be seeing these crazy kids again next Wednesday for their day after portrait session, woohoo!

Liesl + Greg's Wedding: 12/21/2009 - Before saying goodbye to South Africa back in December, I second shot for the third time in a four-day span with Christine Meintjes. Although all the weddings I worked with her was incredibly beautiful (the venue, flowers, details...everything!), each one was so unique and different from the others. Liesl and Greg were such kind and thoughtful people. It's no surprise their amazing day right along the coast of Cape Town was filled with so much love and joy. I shot Greg and his brothers getting ready and even had a chance to chat with them before the ceremony started. Within minutes, the family was calling me by my first name, asking how I was doing, and just treating me like part of the wedding. You couldn't be happier for two people like Liesl and Greg! Although I met them on their wedding day, I truly felt like I've known L + G for a while. And once again, extra special thanks to Christine for inviting me to shoot three ever-amazing weddings with her and also to Iaan for showing Nancy and me all around Stellenbosch/Cape Town. It was truly an experience of a lifetime, one I'll never forget. See you guys in Vegas at WPPI!
