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!

Pasadena Westin & Museum of California Art | Wedding Photography | Daphne & Kent

Our next wedding adventure brings us to Pasadena. We were all over Pasadena! We were at the Westin Hotel, the Pasadena Museum of California Art, charming Old Town Pasadena, and even Pasadena City Hall! This was Daphne and Kent’s big day. These two may look familiar to some of you because I also took their engagement pictures. Also on a side-note, Daphne and my wife were friends from high school! I was lucky to have had the pleasure of being their wedding photographer.

To start off the day, Daphne and Kent got ready at the Westin located in Downtown Pasadena. Here we met up with the amazing videographer Yaz Kim from WHSY Enterntainment (check out some of his work, after the break). Assisted with my second shooter, Kalen, we photographed the happy couple getting ready for their ceremony. After everyone was prepped and ready to go, we headed over to the Pasadena Museum of California Art. Some parts and angles of this place may also look familiar because this is where they had their engagement session! Daphne and Kent had their wedding inside an art museum! How cool is that?! They only invited their family and closest friends. After their ceremony, we took some pictures of the bride and groom with their bridesmaids and groomsmen. After an hour or so of shooting at the PMCA, we brought the cute newlyweds to Old Town Pasadena. We got some photos of Daphne and Kent with the charming town in the background. Their reception was held at the charming Rococo Room at the Cafe Santorini. The reception was a blast. Everyone was having fun. There was dancing and fun games to keep the guests entertained. We captured the fun moments the couple had during their awesome reception. After the reception was over we headed to the historic Pasadena City Hall. We got some AWESOME night shots.

Daphne and Kent’s wedding was a blast. Thanks Daphne and Kent for allowing me to photograph your important day. I had so much fun!

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!

Pasadena | Wedding Photography | Tony & Janelle

St. Andrews Catholic Church - Album Cover - Pasadena Wedding Photography

I had the pleasure of being the wedding photographer for Tony and Janelle’s wedding.  This wedding was one of those perfectly planned weddings that was coupled with the sweetest families!  We started the day by taking some candid shots at Janelle’s home where I learned that the proper way to clean a (diamond/engagement) ring is actually not with the chemical that comes in the little red plastic jar, but with a high pressure steam cleaner!  I think everyone there that morning took turns getting their precious rings cleaned!  We then headed off to the St. Andrews Catholic Church for their wedding ceremony.  If you’ve been there you’ll know that the St. Andrews is probably the nicer and Bigger Catholic church in the Los Angeles area.

After we got most of the formalities out of the way, we headed to our (HOT) relaxed portrait session a few blocks over at the famous Pasadena City Hall.  We had their bridal party with us and I’ve got to say that they were excellent at their job:  looking stunning in front of the camera.  Then it’s off to The Castaway restaurant in Burbank for their continued celebration at their reception.  Again, I totally enjoyed working with the Bride and Groom as well as all of their wedding party and families.  Thanks guys for making my job soooo much fun and thanks to Kalen for 2nd shooting this wedding with me!

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!
