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.

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…:))

Welcome everyone (um…probably just the 4 of you guys that frequent my humble little blog…but everyone all the same) to my new Blog. Let me know what you guys think about the place, look around, kick the tires….etc. I am extremely excited about the images being so stunningly large! Since it’s a photo blog and all. Enjoy, and I promise I’ll promise the same level of slow posting that I’ve been known for
And since it’s so hot out and I haven’t post any images of my precious baby Megan, here is some from a few days ago, she loves to go splish-splashin’ with her popo (grandma) at the pool.
Megan totally loving it!

I know I’m biased, but my baby is SOOOOOoooooooOOOoo cute!

Megan splashing water to her ya-ya (duckie)!
mommy giving her a little BLAST-OFF power!

Somebody looks tired….after all that kicking in the water

I am in the process of switching my blog from being hosting on blogger’s servers. But I’m excited to be changing to the new blog. One of the things I’m looking forward to is LARGER images! Can’t wait. Hopefully I get it up before the end of the week. Stay Tuned
