Redondo Beach Historic Library | Los Angeles Wedding Photography | Jen & Leo

Redondo Beach Historic Library is an amazing location.  I always enjoy photographing weddings at venues that are close to the beach and the Historic Library in Redondo Beach was no exception!  Jen and Leo has had friends that I was the wedding photographer for and also we are all from the same high school…(GO Temple City Rams!) so they were completely trusting of my style of photography and let me do my thing!  I had an absolute blast shooting this wedding and I had the pleasure of doing it with the amazing Doug McNamee of DMC Studio and also my partner (yeah, not that kind….) in our “TiltnShift” photography workshops.  I just LOVE IT whenever I get the opportunity to photograph a wedding with a fellow photographer because we always feed off of each other’s creativity and the end result is visible in the images!

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!

Los Angeles County Arboretum | Wedding Photographer | Uyen & Ronnie

I had the pleasure of being the wedding photographer for Uyen & Ronnie’s wedding.  They had a beautiful outdoor garden wedding planned at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, and it went off without a hitch!  I was totally looking forward to shooting at the LA Arboretum in Arcadia since I had such a great time at Jinny and Mike’s wedding there as well.  Their outdoor wedding  had magnificent clouds that looked amazing in their wedding photos.  But before we headed over to the Arboretum in Arcadia for their wedding ceremony, they arranged a traditional tea ceremony at Uyen’s home in the Inland Empire.  I just love all the vibrant colors involved in the morning tea ceremony!  Enjoy the beautiful wedding photos from their traditional tea ceremony and outdoor garden wedding below.

San Gabriel Hilton & New Capital Seafood | Wedding Photography | Steve & MyLinh

Steve and MyLinh’s wedding was so cool to me partly because of how they met.  And all I have to say is what happens in Vegas certainly does NOT stay in Vegas (score for Steve)!  But if they didn’t disclose that bit of information I bet no one would have guesses that’s how they hooked up.  I think I got lazy previously (what a surprise…right) and skipped posting their e-session pictures on the blog because I tried to find the link and link it to this post but to my disappointment it doesn’t exist, but I’ll just blame it on the blog switch and say that somehow it got lost in the transition:).

Ok, back to the wedding at hand.  Steve got ready at the San Gabriel Hilton where they later had their wedding ceremony and I had the privilege to have the talented and long haired Kalen of Kalenology (or whatever name he decides on for his business…) shoot the guys while they got ready and departed to MyLinh’s home to do the tea ceremony.  When you scroll down, you will see a random picture of his bestman sticking his hand out the sunroof of the limo so let me explain this weird story for you folks and let it be a lesson to all of you who will be riding in limos.  While the limo was driving, the bestman decided that they wanted a bit more air coming in so he reached up to the sun/moon roof and adjusted it where the back tilted up.  But I guess the limo was driving a bit fast on the freeway and the wind caught the sun/moon roof and ripped it off the limo’s roof and came crashing down on the freeway behind them.  Luckily it was a Saturday morning so there wasn’t too many cars on the road so no other cars were involved, but as if this was not bizarre enough, when the limo drive realized what had happened, he knew exactly how much it would cost to replace that to the penny!  So it may be a setup to get a few more $$ out of the people from the sneaky limo company….?

Ya, did I just stray away from the wedding pictures again?  Sorry.

Go ahead and scroll down to see some of the pictures from this wedding.  I’ve gotta say that MyLinh looked super stunning and Steve was looking amazingly sharp as well so my best wishes to the good looking couple!  (uh…i can’t wait to finish your album guys…:))
