La Cañada Flintridge & Descanso Gardens | Wedding Photography | Shirley & David

Saturday, February 24, 2007 1:12 am

If you have been reading my “somewhat lazy posted” for a while, then you would know that I LOVE referrals!!! Because every referral that I shoot is so much fun because they already KNOW what I can do for them so they’re super chill and just let me do whatever….and also in this bride’s case, I’ve already worked with their family! Since they were referred to me by their cousin Angela and Cecil which I shot last OctoberI love shooting weddings!!!!

Okay, enough of that. This lovely couple had a backyard wedding, but I’m pretty sure Shirley’s dad’s house has much more nicer trees than yours (See the pictures). But they also wanted to take some pictures just for the couple at the Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge. I thought that the super cold winter might have kicked all of the tree’s asses, but not true, they had some spectacular scenesI think this is all the narration this couple needs. Check out some of my humble work :p

I totally don’t know what this thing says, but I know all Vietnamese weddings must have this in front of their door on the wedding day!

Beautiful Shirley getting ready

One-of-a-kind “SHISHING ACTION” librarian action figure!!!

Correct, all in the bride’s room! Nice collection! There is actually another room FULL of these things….

Okay, back to shooting the bride…

the worst thing about china town is all the damn power lines……but it has a view, so…..

sharing a moment during the slide-show

awesome First Dance! I was expecting some weak and unrehearsed dance, but they surprised me and probably the rest of the crowd with some “Dancing With The Stars” Action!!!

They are GOOD!

The referring couple….Cecil & Angela. Thanks for the kind words and continued referral, you guys ROCK!!!

One nice thing about being caught up with posting things is that I can actually still remember more than just the bride and groom’s names when I post these cool pictures.

Anyhow, when these guys booked me, my wife was still only around 4 months pregnant, so the original due date of my baby Megan is November 15th, which is really close to their November 11th wedding date, so just to be on the safe side, I made sure that they were okay if my Brother Jerry shot their wedding IF Megan decided to crash the party! But fortunately Megan was considerate enough to be born on the 6th, so gave me a whole week to get myself together to shoot their wedding!

Enough about me….to the wedding! These guys are so cool to shoot that I ended up shooting around 1600 shots and didn’t even realize itEnjoy the pictures!
