western style with an asian flare - judy and pat 10-27-07

hello readers,

this was my wedding this past saturday.

judy and pat were referred to me by deborah, a good friend of mine from college. i had shot deborah and her husband jack's wedding as well a few years ago.

it sprinkled rain during the ceremony...it's good luck as they say =)

the couple were busy with details of the wedding until the very last minute.

but once they saw each other for the first time on the wedding day, everything seemed to fall into place.

we got some awesome romantics for them =)

the lovely couple are currently on thier honeymoon in the carribean.

probably sipping drinks on a warm sunny beach as we speak =)

strolling down the streets of pasadena - denise and jose 10-20-07

hello readers,

here's a wedding i did a week ago in pasadena.

denise and jose are avid baseball fans! especially the los angeles dodgers!

i thought we could have some fun with thier hobby so i had them bring some baseball equipment to the wedding =)

we had planned to shoot on the streets of old town pasadena in the daytime but due to some problems at the reception, we had to wait until after the reception to go shoot there.

i must say...it was a better idea to shoot in the evening time.

we specifically wanted the look with people walking around us in public. i think it gives it a particulary timeless look.

the couple should be returning from thier honeymoon in rome, italy soon! hopefully they took lots of pictures to show me =)

ashley is an event coordinator and her wedding came together like clockwork. i must say...a little bit of organization is definately a welcome change and is much appreciated on my end =)

we had lots of fun and as usual...i try to keep things goofy and light hearted

the ceremony itself was unique! have you ever seen a spiral ceremony?

here is a little foot rub from the loving groom =)

the bride rode into the ceremony on a classic caddy!

we wish mr. and mrs. haines the best of luck in thier new life together!
