Los Angeles County Arboretum & The Universal Hilton | Wedding Photography | David & Thi

Wedding of David and Thi (pronounced tee) was a real fun, but long day. We did some tea ceremony in the morning at Thi’s home with her closest 50+ family members, then headed out to the Los Angeles County Arboretum to get some video and photos done for the wedding party and of course the beautiful bride and groom! After that, it was a break for every before continuing the celebration at the Universal Hilton for a reception with 450+ of their closest friends and family!

Universal City Hilton | Wedding Photography | Jenson & Jenny pt.2

This is the 3rd wedding in a row that I’m shooting at the Universal Hilton. It’s a nice place, but I’ve noticed that every year there is always a designated place. years ago it was also lots of Universal Hilton, 2 years ago, it was lots of Pacific Palms, last year (well, and lots of this year as well) it’s the San Gabriel Hilton that just opened. And this year is pretty much a combo of the two Hiltons that serve decent Chinese food.

Ok, back to the couple. These guys are probably one of the best and nicest couples that I’ve had the honor to work with.

Beautiful bride + Super nice and Handsome groom + great family and guests = a super pleasant event to shoot!

Universal City Hilton | Wedding Photography | Nancy & Mike

June 3, 2006 Wedding of Nancy (greeniemoo) & Mike

This wedding was one of the HOTTEST days of the year. It was 100+ degrees that day and the ceremony was all outdoor! Just imagine, standing in the tripple digit sun with 3 cameras on you totaling more than 30 pounds! But no worries, Henry stood in there and kicked butt!:)To see the entire event, click HERE.

Just like the wedding I post before this one, these guys had their wedding at the Universal Hilton. Check them out below!
