Descanso Garden | Wedding Photography | Dan and Aimee

I was blessed to be the wedding photographer for Aimee and Dan’s wedding. They had a picked the beautiful Japanese garden at the La Canada Flintridge’s Descanso Gardens for their portrait session with their wedding party. I was already totally excited to be photographing at such a scenic location, but when Aimee and the rest of her girls arrived in thier stretch limo, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had awesome props as well!  So I had to get those in my shots!  After a few hours of shooting at the Descanso Gardens, they had their beautiful church ceremony in Los Angeles and then headed off to NBC restaurant in Monterey Park for their reception.  Please scroll down to check out their festive day!  Oh, and if you were a guest at this party and would like to see ALL of the images, go ahead and click HERE to login and see everything!

Descanso Gardens | Wedding Photography | Dan and Aimee *teaser*

I had the pleasure of being Aimee and Dan’s wedding photographer. They are a referral couple from a couple who had me photograph their wedding a few years ago!  Thanks so much…I love referrals!  Aimee and Dan arranged a beautiful portrait bridal session at the Japanese garden inside Descanso Gardens at La Canada Flintridge (where the Station fire is currently burning…!) and I love photographing weddings at the Descanso gardens! It was also a super pleasant opportunity for me because all 14 people in their bridal party (7 groomsmen and 7 bridesmaids) + Uncle CJ was so easy to work with and we had some excellent outdoor garden photos. I’m just going through some of them right now and could not resist posting at least this ONE shot. My fav so far!

Tivoli Terrace & Ayres Hotel Laguna Beach | Wedding Photography | Toby & Elissa

The wedding of Toby & Elissa was a referral from my previous bride Iwei (and David). And I had a blast shooting these guys! They had their ceremony and reception at the Tivoli Terrace in Laguna Beach. This location is actually a place that I drive by every time I shoot engagement sessions down at Laguna Beach, but always thought it was only a play house or something…

Pickwick Gardens Burbank | Wedding Photography | Tina & Marcus

Ok, final wedding of the series…I’m going to take a break after this!

Tina, I know you’re reading this so this is posted up here super quick just for you and Marcus!

Some background on these guys…Tina and Marcus booked my probably almost 1 year ago and kinda love my work….(so some pressure…right) and since I’ve had my blog, Tina has been checking out my blog from time to time and leaving comments like…..”wow, these look so great, I can’t wait until my wedding”…(more pressure right..) But I think I delivered…phew! The one funny thing that happened was that while we were shooting pictures of Tina & Marcus with guests coming into the reception, I saw the parents of Hoeng…(the wedding from a week ago)! And the both couples didn’t know each other…cool!

Chateau Bradbury | Wedding Album | Angela & Cecil

I realized that I have never posted any of the finished album designs that I’ve done for my lovely couples. Also, in honoring the completion of Angela and Cecil’s album (um…only took you guys 5 months……) I will post their stunning album here.

This cute couple got married at the very beautiful Chateau Bradbury with about 150 of their closest friends and family. I loved shooting this couple because they both were beautiful people (okay, maybe Angela is just a bit better looking than Cecil….) and they had sooo much details that I could play with. okay, enough talk….check out the album.
