Congratulations to Sharla & Shayne | Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

Zenia — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:01:55 +0000

Sharla and Shayne got married in Aliso Creek Inn in picturesque Laguna Beach. Surrounded by warm friends and family, their wedding had so many little things that made it personal to everyone. Photographs of guests when they were younger decorated the reception as well as a cake topper from Shayne’s grandparents’ own wedding. “Morning after mini muffins” served as wedding favors. Congrats guys!

Congratulations to Sharon & Josh | Greystone Mansion Wedding Photographer

I believe it was during the maid of honor’s speech where she not only stated what a great couple Sharon and Josh were, but that as friends and family, they get a lifetime of free medical and legal advice. I think her speech attests to what great people Sharon and Josh are. I certainly felt that at their wedding at Greystone Mansion. We couldn’t go wrong with an elegant wedding surrounded by good people and awesome food – not to mention the impeccable coordinating job from Jenn Yamauchi.

Congratulations to Lesa & Eric! | Los Angeles Wedding Photography

When I first met Lesa and Eric on their wedding day, I knew that it was going to be a wonderful day. When I first met Lesa, she gave me a warm hug and Eric was so welcoming even though he didn’t expect me to photograph him getting ready. Having a gorgeous couple, beautiful light, a lot of thought into the details, and In The Now Weddings coordinating, made this wedding so amazing.

One of my favorite photographs of the day.

A kiss to pass. Sounds reasonable.

The combination of the heat lamps and setting sun made this beautiful color.

First dance.

Father-daughter dance.

Mother-son dance.

Congratulations to Aura & Peter! | All Your Base Are Belong to Us

Having had the “Lord of the Rings” theme song play at my own wedding, when Aura & Peter approached me to photograph their video game themed wedding, I was more than excited. The arcade games that they brought in, in addition to their Team Fortress 2 wedding cake were just a small part of the details they put into their wedding. And also, Aura has the BEST smile.

They have such great smiles.

Their amazing Team Fortress 2 wedding cake!

The first dance.

All your base are belong to us.

Shush.

Congratulations to Catherine & Jeff!

I love weddings like Catherine and Jeff’s because they added a personal touch to so many things. It made their wedding both memorable and emotional.

This little guy gave me a wink during the ceremony. Little heartbreaker!:

Not sure what’s so funny, but I definitely want to be a part of it:

The first dance. I love the way Cat looks at Jeff:

Fighting for the bouquet!

Congratulations to Lisa & Michael!

Rain, rain go away! The weekend of Lisa & Michael’s wedding had been forecasted for rain all weekend. I think we pretty much all prayed that it would stop. Luckily, the rain paused for the entire time we took our post-ceremony photographs. Yay! I learned a thing or two about Lisa & Michael during the wedding: that they like Stargate, their printer is portable but runs out of ink at the worst of times, and that they folkdance. Congratulations you two!

Jenny & Jerry Engaged – San Juan Capistrano Engagement Session

Zenia — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 01:44:58 +0000

Jenny has been one of my closest friends since elementary school. We went to 8th grade camp together, got ready for prom together, were silly teenagers together. Jerry is no stranger either. We were in high school together – in some “-ology” class (was it biology or physiology, or both?). Not only did I get to photograph their engagement session, but I got to hang out with great friends. It was our little mini reunion in San Juan Capistrano.

Congratulations to Alicia + Carl!

Zenia — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:15:07 +0000

Alicia and Carl are chess champions of the world. Okay, I don’t know about champions of the world but they play competitively which means they’re REALLY good. With a guest list of under 50, this was my most intimate wedding to date. Although we didn’t get the crazy dancing (usually accompanied by the crazy drinking ) – I got to know a lot of people on a one-on-one basis which was really nice. You can never go wrong when you’re accompanied by good people and good food.

Congratulations to Ling & Ernest!

An old high school friend contacted me to see if I would photograph the details and candid moments of her wedding. Um… how fun is that? Not only did I get to photograph the details of her wedding, but I also got excellent food at the end of the day along with the company of old high school friends (and a college roommate!).

I have to admit, although I had a Chinese tea ceremony myself, I never got to photograph one until now. It was super cool to see (and photograph) something new!

Congratulations to Dana & Matthew!

Dana’s dad – too hip!

I love this shot – the groom, mom and dad.
