The Covid-19 pandemic presented such a huge impact on our lifetime, and I will never forget the whole experiences with my wedding photography.
Sarah Jane and Daniel had to reschedule their wedding for… I don’t even know how many times, and at different locations. I can’t imagine what that feels like to push the best-day-ever over and over again, yet Sarah Jane (who is an event planner) was so on top of everything, that in the end, we got to celebrate their wedding at the beautiful First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, and partied at Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
Helen and Jack work in Hollywood. Helen is a costume designer and Jack is a writer/editor/director.
And as many years I’ve photographed weddings, I had never seen a facial (fishing) net to cover the makeup while changing. GENIUS!!!
They met working on a music video in 2009, and you can see that they adore each other; they laugh a lot and they don’t take things too seriously. And what can I say? Their wedding simply represented that, and here are a few photos from their wedding. <3
Sehwa and I have known each other… probably… almost 12 years now. It was almost right after she came here from Korea to start her life and pursue her career, and I was just one of her clients, but we had so many similar things in common that our friendship kept growing. We shared our deepest secrets and beyond, and she has become one of my closest friends in LA. Sehwa and I basically enjoyed each other’s personal and business growth and have been the biggest cheerleaders. When she told me about her groom Spencer, first of all, there was nothing wrong with this guy! You know how it is - as a girlfriend, you sometimes want to look out for your friend, so you try to read any red flags, but there was none! He was just so perfect. Little did I know, after such a smooth relationship ride with Spencer, they’re getting married and I couldn’t be more thrilled to photograph their intimate, backyard wedding in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, California.
Sehwa’s immediate family flew from Korea for the wedding, and Spencer’s mom - who suffers from Parkinson’s Disease - almost couldn’t make it to her only son’s wedding; there were so much of happy tears.
Sehwa was also 9-week pregnant, and I cried out of joy when she told me privately on her wedding day. Then, they surprised everyone with a little Thank-You cards of the baby’s ultrasound picture.
It was just about 30 people including me and Brett at the wedding, and it was everything Sehwa and Spencer wanted.
