Los Angeles LDS Wedding and Wilson Golf Course Reception

The first word that comes to mind when I think of Bianca and Jared’s wedding is COLOR! Talk about a sensational summer synthesis of fuschia, gold, orange, and royal blue! Bianca and Jared, you two are adorable together! It truly was a pleasure to work with you and your families! There are so many memorable moments and details… At the ring ceremony, one of the couple’s friends serenaded them with John Legend’s ‘All of Me’. It was beautiful! Bianca’s mom is an event planner– her reception decor was incredible! The guest Flamenco dancers and the food were amazing too! I loved the entire day from start to finish! Thank you so much for hiring me to be a part of it!

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:)

Los Angeles Wedding Portraits

I was introduced to my beautiful friend Michele on the grounds of the Los Angeles LDS Temple where we were both volunteers. Little did I know, a couple years later she would be asking me to photograph her wedding day. Michele is one of the most optimistic women I have ever met. She’s spunky, fun, and her energy never seems to stop! She is a wonderful example of what it means to be comfortable and happy in your own skin independent of external circumstances and influence. When we first met, she was on a mission to enjoy life and meet new friends. Finding her future husband was somewhere in the mix too….

Then David entered the picture…. literally.

This is the spot where David purposed to Michele.

My favorite shot of the day!

Los Angeles LDS Temple Wedding Portraits

I was asked to take portraits of Ryan and Ariel on their wedding day at the Los Angeles Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Photography is permitted on the grounds, but not inside of the temple as the building is seen as sacred. Couples who are sealed there have a grand exit and usually take family photos and couples photos on the grounds. Congratulations to the love birds! So thankful I was able to be a part of their special day!
