Connie and Patrick were married in a really fun, sweet ceremony aboard the Majestic in Long Beach.

The whole bridal party got ready at the sleek Avia hotel.  I love the personalized tanks that Connie got for each of them, as well as the ninja turtle hats for the boys.

Rina and Sean had a small, intimate wedding at the beautiful Wayfarer's Chapel in Palos Verdes.

They had their reception at a beautiful seaside house in Palos Verdes, which was beautifully decked out with all the gorgeous details that Rina, Sean, and friends put together.  I love all the different shades of blue and the birds motif.  Everything was a subtle mix of their two cultures, from the BBQ to the little Japanese candies at the candy bar.

Sean surprised Rina with a song, and I honestly don't think there was a dry eye in the house.

From everything that I was privileged to witness that day, it's truly hard to imagine a couple more in love.  Congratulations Sean and Rina!

John and Rochelle had an amazing, intimate wedding in Italy, and came home to celebrate with family and friends.  We had a fun bridal portrait session around downtown Los Angeles, which fits their funky sense of style.

downtown Los Angeles wedding - John & Rochelle-1.jpg

The Bradbury building is a little gem-of-a-building nestled in an otherwise nondescript Los Angeles street corner.  But when you walk in, it's light and airy, and so obviously full of history that it's difficult to stay in the public areas and not try to explore the building a little more.  Unfortunately Rochelle and John didn't get to fully experience any of that, as we had roughly six minutes to snap a few images in this breathtaking space before the building closed for the day.  But they were game to follow my hurried instructions, and knocked out a few great images before the security guard chivvied all the gawking visitors out.

I love the matching Air Jordan sneakers.

Their reception was at the Los Coyotes Country Club in Buena Park.  It was full of laughter, a few happy tears, and a LOT of dancing.
