Los Angeles Lds Wedding and S.B. Navy Golf Course

Lauren and Ken were married at the Los Angeles LDS temple on a beautiful, crisp Veterans’ Day morning. With the remembrance of so many men and women who have fought for our freedom and continue to do so, two families came together to witness this beautiful young couple make promises to love and cherish each other for the rest of eternity. Afterwards we ventured out to the Seal Beach Navy Golf Course for a ring ceremony and reception. Such great live music, such good food, and so much love! Nothing compares to the joy of a wedding day! Congratulations Lauren and Ken! Thanks so much for choosing me to document your special day! xoxo

Los Angeles Wedding and Reception at The Aquarium of the Pacific

If you are planning a wedding and are looking for a fabulous space, hands down, let it be The Aquarium of the Pacific! I am still dreaming about Adam and Angelique’s choice of reception venue! The wedding took place at the Los Angeles LDS Temple, followed by a drive southward the the Aquarium in Long Beach. Their guests got to explore the Aquarium for an hour before reception festivities began. They were even treated to an educational talk about the resident sea otters! Those furry little guys put smiles on everybody’s faces! These two truly made their special day one to remember on so many levels! Not only did they throw an awesome party, but most importantly, they made sacred promises to each other that have the power to bind them for eternity. Here is a glimpse. Enjoy. 🙂 xoxo

Newport Beach Lds Wedding

My heart is full as I reflect upon Emmi and Matt’s wedding day. So many heart-felt details were incorporated into this celebration of love. The honoring of the eternal nature of love, the revisiting of the couple’s first date locale, a brush with the beach (where Matt proposed)… it was like taking a trip in a time machine– spanning the entirely of their relationship up to that present day. Speaking of which, (not to spoil the romantic musings), they happened to be married on National Donut Day! Hence a few of the following images. And the icing on the cake… (no pun intended). Emmi is a native of Peru. Her family was not able to make the trip to California for the wedding. As a special surprise, Matt arranged a Skype session with Emmi’s family during their reception! Her reaction was priceless! These two have so much love for one another! I am so thankful I was invited to be a part of it! I wish you both a world of happiness! Thank you for your patronage!!! xoxo!

Los Angeles Temple Wedding Kim and Josh

september 30, 2014

A lot has happened over the past month. Big changes. One of the positives was getting into grad school at the tail end of August. I applied to the MSW program at CSULB back in February. Needless to say, life has gotten 10x’s busier. It’s an adjustment to say the least– more on this later. For now, here is a lil sneak peek of Kim and Josh’s wedding. 🙂

Salt Lake City LdsWedding

S to the T to the L*U*V*! I know what you’re thinking right now… Wow! That is one heck of a bridal party!! The back story: September 2010, Sunny hired me to photograph her dance group, the incredibly talented: MAHANA Polynesian Dance Company! We met at Laguna Beach at high tide– it is a day we will always remember! She told me then, it didn’t matter where we were in the world, the day she got married, I was going to be her photographer. Fast forward to the end of 2012/2013, she met her man. They set a wedding date for the end of November in Salt Lake City and it just so happened we were in the same place at the same time! It worked out perfectly. Sunny and Tino, you make a fantastic couple! Mahalo! My love to you both:)
