Christine + Richard’s Wedding: 11/5/2011 – Love was certainly in the air as well as in the hearts of those who attended Christine and Richard‘s memorable big day this past weekend. They were the first couple to book me last year. Fast forward 18 months later, we finally have Christine and Richard tying the knot at the ever-so-beautiful St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Pasadena, and having an amazing reception down the block at the historic Castle Green venue. Along with my partner in crime Brian Fletcher, we had a blast documenting this special occasion.

There were so many unforgettable moments, some of my favorites were witnessing Christine and Richard paying tribute to Christine’s dad and showing lots of love/respect for their moms during the ceremony. Both come from a very small family, but the room was filled with so many friends that have all played a special part in Christine and Richard’s life. From the Godparents and sponsors to old friends and co-workers, everyone was there to celebrate the next chapter of these two wonderful individuals. On top of everything, I just love seeing how happy Christine and Richard were. They were super duper easy-going and made the photo-taking part of the day so much fun for me.

Christine was all smiles and joking around as Richard was his a calm, cool self. The bridal party was awesome to work with, as they provided quite a bite of laughs, especially the guys (burritos and um, “hanging out” by the church fountain :P). Also, special shout out to the wedding coordinator Louie Cantal for doing an outstanding job and making sure the day was running smoothly. It felt like I was working with an old friend and sharing some laughs the entire day. And of course, biggest thank to Christine and Richard for choosing me to document everything!

Joyce + Dennis’ Wedding: 10/29/2011 – It’s been nothing but a pleasure working with Joyce and Dennis. Not only are they super duper nice and easy going, but they know how to throw an amazing party! The 13+ hour day felt like minutes as we went from the getting ready and tea ceremony to the catholic ceremony, portraits, and reception. I really couldn’t have asked for a more care free couple. Despite the long day, Joyce and Dennis were all smiles to all their guests, the cameras, and most importantly, to each other. The church that Joyce and Dennis got married at was one of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen. It felt like we weren’t in Southern California but instead somewhere in Italy!

And I love how the bridesmaids definitely gave Dennis and his groomsmen a run for their money with the tea ceremony games. From having Dennis put on lipstick and kiss his guys to wearing a purple wig and doing some crazy dance moves, let’s just say the morning activities were certainly memorable :). Thanks again Joyce and Dennis for being so wonderful from the moment we started chatting. I had an amazing time documenting the many memorable moments of your wedding. Enjoy your honeymoon and this sneak peek of photos :).
