Carondelet House Wedding - Chris + Jared

Jared majored in Photojournalism in college (hallelujah!), and Chris reached out to me saying, "we are looking for a photography that isn't your typical wedding expert. We want more documentary and less posed/staged group shots. We are truly looking for in the moment photography...candid, unscripted, and a bit unruly. Our wedding guest list is a cast of characters and you'd have a great time shooting them!" Boy, he was right! Brett and I loved hanging out with their groomsmaids, documented their wedding story, and partied until the end. 

Though, Jared is not a photojournalist but a successful entrepreneur, and Chris is a prominent publicist. The couple lives in Bay area and it was (personally) so fun and an honor planning their wedding together because they initially did not have a wedding date set. They had known that they wanted to get married Carondelet House  in Los Angeles, so their date was finalized on the venue's availability and mine. (I know!) I often get asked what part of the wedding day is my favorite and (you guessed it right) I can't pick one. I can say though, that they're usually moments when I witness different types of love from friends and family.... which you'll get to see about Chris and Jared as images below. :D

Carondelet House Wedding - Gillian + Jason

Their story is something that I'd find it in a modern romantic movie - two strangers randomly meet at an airport and fall in love - who doesn't want this? I wish I had this kind of story to tell my children in the future.

Jason and Gillian met on a Southwest Airlines flight - where you get to choose your own seat - from Burbank to Oakland.

"The minute I saw Gillian I knew where I would be sitting," Jason recalled. "I had about an hour to get her phone number."

Gillian didn't make the process easy for Jason though; she first refused to give her number then didn't return his calls for weeks, but of course Jason didn't give up. (Yay!) Eventually Gillian relented and the rest is history. And every time I meet them, my heart just melts; these two lovebirds are so adorable together. I mean, just look at them...

Nested in east side of Korea Town of Los Angeles, I never knew about this pretty Carondelet House until their wedding.
