Marecel + JP | Lodi, CA | Hutchins Square Wedding

About a year ago I met with Marecel and JP in Stockton for a consultation. Finally, after a year of waiting I went to Lodi, Ca to shoot their wedding.  It was an intimate wedding with close friends and family.  Lots of emotion and genuine moments displayed at this wedding. Love it!   Here’s teaser.

Janice + Kelvin | Wedding | Lake Merritt – Oakland, CA

Bay Area Wedding Lake Merritt 2 Janice + Kelvin | Wedding | Lake Merritt   Oakland, CAYou may remember Janice and Kelvin from the their engagement session I did with them at UC Davis.  They recently got married in their church in Vallejo, Ca.  Afterwards we headed to Oakland where their reception was held and we took some portraits at Lake Merritt.  Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Nicole+Logan | Wedding | Canyon View Dining Hall | San Ramon, Ca

Castlewood Country Club Wedding Nicole+Logan | Wedding | Canyon View Dining Hall | San Ramon, Ca

This wedding was particularly interesting to me because Nicole is Filipino and Logan is Laotian.  I happen to also be Laotian and my girlfriend is Filipino.   I was very curious to see how the wedding would turn out with the two cultures.  It was definitely a lively crowd with a bridal party of 40 people.  Nicole and Logan definitely have many close

friends and family, all of which made their wedding that much more rewarding for the couple. Special thank you to my 2nd shooter Rob Her for coming out to help me with this one.

Location: Castlewood Country Club

Reception: Canyon View Dining Hall

Here are a few of my favorites from the wedding.

LALEH + HOSSEIN | The Parker in Palm Springs, CA | Wedding

The Paker Palm Springs wedding 03 LALEH + HOSSEIN | The Parker in Palm Springs, CA | Wedding

An’t nothing like a Persian wedding! They really know how party and this wedding was no exception.  The entire reception consisted of noting but good times and dancing.  I loved it!  You can hear the women yelling out the Xena cries throughout the day and you can hear them from a mile a way.  Awesome. Just awesome.    Laleh and Hossein had this wedding at The Parker in Palms Springs, Ca.  I had a great time shooting this wedding and I can’t help but feel honored and grateful to be apart of it because the couple was so hospitable.  It’s really true that Persian people are some of the most warm and welcoming people out there.  Thank you to my friend and awesome photographer, Farhad Samari for letting me shoot at this wedding.

.

I’ll start off with this getting ready photo of Laleh and her beautiful Vera Wang dress in the background.

Janice + Kelvin | Engagement Session | UC Davis, California

I met Janice six years ago in an amazing college outreach program called Upward Bound at the UC Davis. Undoubtedly one of the BEST college outreach programs out there in the country.  Six years later, Janice is getting married to this handsome lad. I went down to Davis again to photograph their engagement.  I’m loving this town.  So many places to do cool shots.

Please feel free to leave me a nice comment and let me know you dropped by!

Jing + Johnny | La Venta Inn Palos Verdes | Los Angeles, CA

Jing and Johnny had their intimate wedding at La Venta Inn over looking a beautiful view of the beach in Palos Verdes Estates.  I fell in love with La Venta Inn when I first saw it. The Spanish style house was built as a priviate residence in the 1920′s.  Jing and Johnny’s ceremony was held in La Venta Inn’s outdoor patio where view is just super awesome.  You can see the entire city of L.A and Santa Monica!  The reception was just a blast to photograph because of the amazingly fun friends and family that Jing and Johnny had. As you can see from the photos, the drinks kept on coming all night long for Johnny.  Thank you for having me as your photographer guys! The wedding planner from La Venta Inn did a great job in making this wedding awesome.  I can’t wait to photograph a wedding here again.  Special thanks to my good friend Conrad Lim for coming out to second shoot this wedding for me.

Location: La Venta Inn, Palos Verdes Estates

Videographer: Paul Bennett of Blue Sky Videos

Wedding Planner/Coordinator: Tim Kennedy
