The most modern wedding of the entire year! Adrian and Michael have a distinctive style and I love it! Simple, modern, clean….right up my alley! Thank you to Sherri J photography for having me as an associate photographer for this one of a kind wedding!

We started out in West Hollywood at the beautiful Andaz Hotel. Like I said, I love Adrian and Michael’s modern style and this was the most perfect venue they could have chosen!

Love how Adrian and Michael decided to get ready together. I think it’s so special.  Adrian’s gorgeous niece! Future supermodel? I think so. 

A beautiful May wedding at Orcutt Ranch in West Hills. I had an incredible time photographing this wedding. The beautiful rustic venue and the fun and bright details were a joy to capture. I have to thank Eric of Eric So photography for having me as an associate photographer.

We met China and her bridesmaids at the Marriott Warner Center in Woodland Hills where she and her bridesmaids prepped for the day.
I just adore all the personal touches China and Chris put into this wedding. The ranch had a library where the wedding cake and cupcakes were displayed. They was such a wonderful idea! As you walk in the room, the couple had displayed some of the books they brought from home as well as some photographs.  I’ve never seen a navy linen jacket on groomsmen before, but this was spectacular! Such a wonderful color scheme. Although it was a hot May wedding, I think it worked beautifully. Ah, the couple that loves In-N-Out, also wins my heart!  

Here’s another O.M.G moment! This extra special wedding is something that I have never captured before….a brunch wedding! Yes folks, you can have a brunch wedding…why not? Who doesn’t love a good brunch? I must give a huge shout out to one of my favorite photographers that I’ve worked with, Wai Reyes of Wai Reyes Photography. Without Wai, I would have never experienced this amazing wedding nor captured such delicious details! Huge props to Halleigh of Moment Privé who did such an incredible, INCREDIBLE, job at styling the entire wedding!

Lizz, or Lizzie, as her family calls her was such a joy to work with. She is the sweestest and cutest ginger bride I’ve ever photographed! I absolutely loved working with her!  Lizz got prepped and pampered at the gorgeous Marriott Hotel in Newport Coast overlooking the OCEAN! Ugh, I would love to have my honeymoon in this suite! Actually, these aren’t hotel rooms, they are villas! For the first look, we drove a short distance to a secluded park way up in the Crystal Heights residential area. The day started out chilly and gloomy, but when it was time for the first look, the clouds parted and beautiful, soft light appeared! Needless to say it’s a photographer’s dream.
I absolutely adore Lizz’s vivacious personality! That fiery red hair does say a lot doesn’t it?  Ah, the details that Halleigh put together for the wedding….AHHHHMAZING!!!  Folks, this was a morning November wedding…look at that light. Only in SoCal….. I love a bride who isn’t afraid of getting her dress slightly dirty for AHHHHMAZING portraits! Brides, don’t be afraid of your dress getting dirty, you will love the images to come! 

Congratulations to Phuong and James on their wedding! It was a cold, gloomy and rainy day, but we made it work!

After the tea ceremonies at both houses, the sun peeked out long enough for all of us to have a traditional dim sum lunch in the patio. Afterwards, we headed to the Disney Concert Hall for some fun portraits of the bridal party! A huge thanks to Kevin of Kevin Dinh photography for having me be his associate photographer of the day!
