Holmes Family Portraits

Our nice neighbors asked us to take some family portraits of them before their boys went back to college. The older son goes to Yale, and the younger one goes to UC Berkley. It was a really fun photo shoot and we had a blast!

Amy & Brian | Seven Degrees Laguna Wedding

Congratulations Amy and Brian! Amy is one of our most delightful brides who had also purchased her stunning gown and flower girl dresses at my wife's bridal shop The Ivory Suite in South Pasadena, fabulously designed by Lea-Ann Belter. Their wedding venue was held at a gorgeous facility in Laguna Beach called Seven Degrees. Everything was top notch with each detail down to perfection (mostly due to Amy's mom who worked so hard to put everything together)! This beautiful couple will always be very close and dear to our hearts. [gallery link="file" columns="1" orderby="title" size="full"]

Karen & Vin Engagement Session II

Karen and Vin asked me if I could do another engagement shoot for them since it was the hottest day of the year at their first engagement shoot. They didn't feel comfortable and relaxed since they were sweating bullets the whole time. Although I thought their first set of photos looked great, I was happy to give them another photo shoot. They were absolutely ecstatic with their second photo shoot pictures. Yay! :) We are so excited for their wedding at the beautiful Pasadena History Museum.

Becky & Mark Engagement Session

Becky and Mark definitely love to laugh and have fun! They are architects and have a great sense of design. It was great to think outside the box with them and do something a little different. They were a little shy about taking photos, but after they received them, they told me how much they had fun and loved their pictures. :) I will be posting pictures from their very unique wedding at The Stuart in Pasadena soon so stay tuned!

Association of Bridal Consultants - Fashion Show

My wife's bridal shop The Ivory Suite was asked to feature their gowns at the Association of Bridal Consultants fashion show at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. I had the privilege of being one of the featured photographers. The gowns were gorgeous and all the models did such a great job showcasing them. The event was a huge success - great job everyone!

Joanna & Robert | Biltmore Hotel Wedding

Congratulations Joanna and Robert! I have known Joanna for over 5 years, so it was a great honor to photograph her wedding. Their beautiful ceremony was in a gorgeous Greek Orthodox Church in Los Angeles. The grand reception was at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, and their centerpieces were the most spectacular ones I have every seen! They did not spare a dime on their wedding, and it sure shows!

Kelsey & Scott | Marina Del Rey Hotel Wedding

Congratulations Kelsey and Scott! What can I say? This couple is just awesome. Not only do they make a great couple, but they make great subjects! Their wedding at the Marina Del Rey Hotel was so fun, I almost forgot I was working =P. It was so hard deciding on which photos to post, so we will be posting more on our website here. We are also going to do a "Day After" photo shoot with them so stay tuned for those pictures! [gallery link="file" columns="1" orderby="title" size="full"]

Maria & Alessio | Los Angeles Police Academy Rock Garden Wedding

Congratulations Joey (Maria) and Ale (Alessio)! This spunky, fun couple was up to doing anything at their reception which took place at the Los Angeles Police Academy Rock Garden. At the end of the night, I said to them "it would be great if we can get some pictures of you two on that rock, but that's not going to happen because of the water". And the next thing I knew, they hopped over the water (yes, with heels and all), and were on the rock! That made for some terrific photos of the both of them... thanks you guys!

Monika & Robert | Pacific Palms Resort Wedding

Congratulations Monika and Robert! This couple's wedding held at the Pacific Palms Resort in Industry Hills was definitely a new experience for us. It was so interesting that the bride was raised in Paraguay, therefore her first language is Spanish. Everyone was speaking Spanish, Tawainese, Mandarin and English all at the same time. Now how cool is that?! But one thing we can say, was that their love for each other was not "lost in translation." [gallery link="file" columns="1" orderby="title" size="full"]

Kimi & Andy | Wilshire Grand Wedding

Congratulations Kimi and Andy! Their beautiful wedding at the Wilshire Grand in Little Tokyo was filled with fun, love, and a HUGE family. Kimi wore her mother's traditional Japanese kimono which was absolutely stunning. Her little niece also wore the most adorable mini kimono in pink. We couldn't get enough of all the cute kids in the crowd! [gallery link="file" columns="1" orderby="title" size="full"]

Kimi & Andy Engagement Session

Kimi and Andy make such a cute couple to photograph. Their big smiles and her dimples were the highlight of the day!

Our Location Scout

My lovely wife and I went location scouting the other day and wanted to test out a great spot that we found. She was my "model" and I think the photographs turned out great (but of course I am partially biased :P). I can't wait to use this location again to do an engagement photo shoot or for head shots and family portraits!
