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!

Weddings are different right now, as is most things in all our lives, but that didn’t stop Austin + Jacqueline from having a beautiful celebration at The Hall at Fauntleroy in West Seattle. Thanks for letting me document this monumental day and I can’t wait to party with you at your reception next year!

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!
