Sami + Amanda brought it! These two charmed the camera with their constant laughter and sheer enjoyment of each other, I couldn’t have asked for anything else at Pasadena City Hall engagement session!

He’s Australian, she’s from Southern California and they both live in Perth, but they decided to celebrate their wedding in Culver City at the Culver Hotel. We made all the arrangements over the phone and I got a solid sense that this was a chill couple, but within an hour of meeting them, they proved how badass they were when I asked them to climb through a window and out on the fire escape five floors up (and yes, with Rachel wearing heels!)
The day flew by and Kenny and I had an excellent time getting to know these two. Congrats to you both and I hope you had a safe flight back to the other side of the world!

First look on a helipad overlooking L.A.? Hell yeah! That’s how Irene and Greg brought it for their wedding day at the Intercontinental in Century City. Cara helped me photograph this celebration and we had a great time documenting the entire day.
Irene + Greg, thanks for having us there with you and congrats once again! I hope you are having a wonderful time in Europe!

So since it’s right around that time that Sierra and Max are on there way home from their Thailand honeymoon, I figured it was also time to post a blog about their Glendale wedding day from two weeks ago. Kenny and I had a great time photographing these two and their party bus full of exuberant bridesmaids and groomsmen! The day took us from their hotel suites in Glendale to Pasadena City Hall, back to Glendale to the Holy Family Catholic Church for the ceremony, before finally heading to the Palladio reception hall for an epic reception party!
Sierra and Max were wonderful to photograph, and I was thrilled to be part of their day. Congrats again and I hope you both had a fantastic time in Thailand!

Last week I headed to Cal Tech and Pasadena City Hall for Jennifer and Daniel’s engagement shoot. Since they live in the neighborhood, they are well-acquainted with these architectural landmarks, which are also excellent location for photos.
As the sun began to set and we were wrapping up our shoot, Daniel asked what I thought about a unplugged wedding. As many of you know, I am a huge fan of your guests putting away their cameras to be truly present during your ceremony. It lets them celebrate with you instead of being distracted by a device, and it lets me do my job best: capturing the emotions of your closest friends and families, instead of a sea of iPads (those look like cookies sheets in front of people’s faces), smartphones, and cameras. Better pictures, better experience – It’s really a win-win for everyone.
Anyhow, if the fact that these two are just fun to be around wasn’t enough, I am now completely won over as these two start to think about their guests’ wedding experience 9 months before the big day.
Congrats you both and I’ll see you soon at your wedding!

We met up with Alisa & Dino just before Memorial Day weekend, and despite their initial stress of dealing with the pre-holiday traffic, we soon forgot about the evils of LA traffic as we traded travel tales, and discussed the amazingness that is Thailand: where we had, and they will have, their “familymoon”. Yes, a post-wedding trip that involves taking your family with you.
Thanks Alisa & Dino for a fun Friday evening!

After the exclusive “behind-the-scenes” engagement shoot with Clippers fans Chelsia & Saul at Staples Center, we were certainly looking forward to their wedding day. Chelsia & Saul are super fun & easy-going, and their sleek & modern wedding at City Club on Bunker Hill was a perfect reflection of their personalities!
Congrats, Chelsia & Saul!
