Almansor Court Wedding | New Capital Seafood Reception | Lan & Anthony = Lanthony

www.MrHenryWang.com — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 11:04:07 +0000

I had an absolute blast photographing Lan and Anthony (a.k.a Lanthony) ‘s wedding. As a few of you may remember, Lanthony had their engagement photo session at the Downtown LA area. So photographing their wedding day was something that I looked forward to ever since they booked me as their wedding photographer. First thing that I saw when I arrived at their home for Lan’s getting ready photos was their custom stitched and laced chuck’s and I knew the day was going to be another amazing wedding! Please feel free to scroll down to see some more fab-ness!

Los Angeles Arboretum | San Gabriel Hilton | Wedding Photographer

www.MrHenryWang.com — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:11:17 +0000

This wedding took place at 2 of my favorite venues. The 1st was the Los Angeles Arboretum and the 2nd was the San Gabriel Hilton. I just love how many different looks I can get everytime I’m photography either an engagement session or wedding at the Arboretum in Arcadia next to the newly remodeled Westfield Santa Anita Mall. Also, the San Gabriel Hilton has so many little gems for getting awesome photographs it’s ridiculous! On top of all of that, Daniel and Mouy are like all my other awesome clients….they TRUST me to do do my job and gives me so much freedom to do what I do best! I also had the pleasure of having an awesomely-super-over-qualified 2nd photographer, Mr. Doug McNamee of DMC Studio so this is almost like a dream wedding for me

I currently am using an image from this wedding as my facebook fan page‘s profile picture. Love it!

Orange County | Wedding Photography | Tom & Lisa

www.MrHenryWang.com — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:19:36 +0000

Okie dokie, hopefully I can get some of these amazing 2008 weddings that I’ve had the pleasure of shooting blogged for your holiday viewing pleasure. In case you’ve just gotten engaged….CONGRATS!!!

Tom & Lisa has been long time customers of ours, since 2003…(I think) when I was her older sister Linda’s wedding photographer. At that same time, their family also took the opportunity of their wedding to take a family portrait in our studio. And since then, their family has been like my family! They’ve referred numerous portrait and wedding clients and we love them for loving our work so much!

From this wedding, I’ve also met a phenomenal videographer that comes up with the most stunning cinematic style of video that I’ve seen. His name is Yaz Kim and you can check out some of his work here. Also, the wedding went smoothly with the help of Caroline Chang and her team of professional coordinators of Serenity Events.

Ok, enough chit chat…to the pictures

The Westin Pasadena & Pasadena City Hall | Wedding Photography | Kate & Ricky

www.MrHenryWang.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:01:23 +0000

I’ve noticed that I almost say one consistent/repeating thing about the weddings that I put on my blog and it sounds something like “we had so much fun” or “they are so cool…” or something else to complement them. But I really think that, it’s not just some bs that I put on my blog to uh….i guess…make my couples sound like nice couples (a.k.a. non-bridezilla). But seriously, I am truly blessed to have such wonderful subjects to work with on their special day. Thank you all so much for trusting your important day to me and my 2nd shooter/assistants!!!

Ok, on with this post. Kate and Ricky are totally cool and we had so much fun……(hehe…..but I’m serious!) We did some getting ready stuff for them at the Westin Pasadena, then headed off to their ceremony which was held at the St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church (right across the street from PCC), and back to the hotel for some traditional Tea Ceremony. But not before I worked them around the courtyard of the Westin and at the Pasadena City Hall. Ok, just check out the album pictures.

Los Angeles County Arboretum | Wedding Photographer | Uyen & Ronnie

www.MrHenryWang.com — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:36:11 +0000

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

www.MrHenryWang.com — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:58:26 +0000

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…:))

OKAY….finally back to work….on this blog! I apologize for the delay, but here you go. I promise to have new weddings up here on a regular basis and also even share some thoughts with all of you on things wedding!

Now, back to the subject at hand.

What can I say, this wedding was probably one of the most laid back weddings and everyone was so cool! Mike and Jen had a quick tea ceremony at the bride’s home then headed off to Mission261 for a quick lunch break before starting their wedding ceremony at the rooftop garden at the San Gabriel Hilton with the reception of 300+ family and guests immediately after. Check out the pictures:

Los Angeles Arboretum Wedding Photographer | Jinny and Michael

www.MrHenryWang.com — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 17:58:00 +0000

I had a lot of fun being the wedding photographer for this wedding that had their rose garden wedding ceremony in Arcadia at the Los Angeles County Arboretum because there were lots of familiar faces as well as lots of cool people. Also, I had a good (and hot) time also being a wedding coordinator for them before their ceremony. They were so busy setting up other things for their wedding ceremony that they didn’t have a plan of how the ceremony was going to start and who was giving which people queue’s to begin their parts….(sounds confusing…it was!) But it all worked out great! Also, this was another referral wedding! Michael’s sister is Katie, which was a bride of mine from…….oh……..let me think back………um……August 2005 (who….has been so busy with work has not made the time to finish their ALBUM!). Also, I have shot Katie’s husband Bo’s sister’s wedding Carolina and John late last year. By the way, you’ll see lots of Bo in many of the pictures in this post(get out of my way Bo!…hehe)

Ok, back to the wedding. They had a traditional tea ceremony at both Jinny and Michael’s homes and then headed off to the Arboretum for a quick portrait session before heading over to their ceremony at the rose garden of the Arboretum. After the H-O-T ceremony, every headed off to Prince Seafood in Cerritos for the wedding reception (my old home town….I miss Cerritos)! Take a look below for their wedding photos.

Beautiful home of Jinny!

Nice waterfall in the back next to the pool next to the jacuzzi next to the proposed tennis court….(me jealous!)
