Christine and Abdul’s DTLA Wedding at HNYPT

When I spoke to Christine and Abdul during their DTLA engagement session, they were so excited about what they had planned. And when the time finally came for their big day, I loved seeing their vision come to life. They got ready at the contemporary venue in Koreatown called The Line Hotel where cemented walls were beautifully exposed.

And then they move to HNYPT, a nondescript venue in downtown Los Angeles on the outside, but beautifully exposed bricks on the inside. Oh, the decor was just magical, and full of DIY by the bride herself! Christine looked absolutely amazing in her flowing tulle dress and her hot pink Converse sneakers matching Abdul’s black sneakers. Okay, they’re officially too cool for me, haha.

Karina and Misa Wedding at Rancho Buena Vista Adobe

Rancho Buena Vista Adobe WeddinglocationSAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

It’s crazy to think that years after high school ended, I would be reunited with an old high school classmate by photographing her wedding day. What’s possibly even crazier is that I was apparently also in the same middle school as her fiancé! Small world, seriously. But I’m glad it happened, as Misa and Karina’s Vista wedding at Rancho Buena Vista Adobe venue was SUCH a joy to photograph.

After photographing their engagement session in Julian, I found out how laid back they were. It wasn’t until photographing their wedding did I REALLY find out how laid back they were. From introducing the wedding party by doing a Star Wars skit, to dancing on the dance floor with a guest dressed up as a dinosaur, to doing a mosh pit, they were ready to have fun and every moment was filled with surprises.

As a bonus, I was even able to chat with a newlywed couple guest that I had the honor of photographing last year. Ah, fun times.

Jack’s First Backyard Birthday Party

Backyard Birthday PartylocationLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

In a quiet beautiful mid-century home in LA, Jack had his first Backyard Birthday Party and it was an intimate affair with close friends in attendance. Soon enough, though, the party was “raising the tent” as everyone gathered under the outdoor tent, singing some fun songs, shaking some instruments, and playing with some bubbles. Ah, to be one again.
