Lisa & William

Lisa & William celebrated their wedding on Sunday November 11th. It was such a pleasure for me to cover their wedding. Lisa & William are so sweet and down to earth. We had became really good friends. For their wedding, Lisa and William decided to incorporate both eastern and western traditions. Generally, the eastern part of the ceremony starts at the bride’s house.

Couldn’t have made it without the Survival Guide.

Lisa was radiant in her red traditional ao dai.

Marie & Ben

Marie and Ben had their wedding on November 10th in San Diego. It was a beautiful day from start to end. They had a small, intimate but very elegant celebration which consisted of families and close friends. Ben and Marie had known each other for a very long time, therefore, both families are very close. They were also very emotional, fun loving, and had a great sense of humor throughout the day. The ceremony took place at the Founder’s Chapel at the University of San Diego.

After the ceremony, we were off to The Prado at Balboa Park for a romantic session. Marie & Ben were having way too much fun like a couple of kids. They could not stop giggling the whole time.

It’s too bad that we only had like 15 minutes to walk around to get these pictures before sunset.

But we sure made the most out of it.

At last, I got an opportunity to hang out with a couple of cool cats in the patio.

Ashley & Joey

I had the pleasure of being Ashley & Joey wedding photographer for the last weekend in October. I did a back-to-back bridal session on Friday in Valencia and then their beautiful wedding on Saturday at Robinson Ranch Golf Club. Ashley and Joey were such troopers. Their families were so warmth and accommodating the whole way. Everything from the decoration, cake, food and drinks were top notch. Here is a little sneak-peek.

The beautiful natural light source coming through the window was unmatched.

An astonishingly beautiful bride!

We had light rain just before the ceremony. So between dodging the rain and trying to keep my equipments from getting soaked, I’d managed to snap this shot. I love the stark contrast of the red umbrella and the bride’s bouquet against the monochromatic scenery.

Even a little rain is not going to put a damper on their special day.
