Intimate Backyard Wedding in La Canada - Matt + Keagan

Someone once asked me which one was my absolute favorite wedding I've photographed. I mumbled a little and didn't have an answer for it, and I don't think I will ever. I can't choose one. It's such a difficult question, equivalent to asking a little kid if they like their mom or dad. Anyway... long story short; I really enjoyed photographing Matt and Keagan's heartfelt wedding at Keagan's parents' house in La Canada last summer. Matt and Keagan live in Washington, DC but married here in Southern California surrounded by their close friends and family.

Keagan's dad, such a loving person, had decorated the entire place; no he's not a florist but yes, he's THAT talented. It was a beautiful day packed with joyful emotions and I hope you enjoy a little glimpse of their wedding day!!

Santa Monica Wedding - Kim + Dave

Kim is super blunt and Dave, apparently, is very indecisive; everyone at wedding was making fun of him - but I think his indecisiveness definitely comes from his kind and caring personalities as I got to witness him following every Kim's command with a smile. I had fun photographing their wedding because Kim really made sure to tell everyone to leave me the hell alone and do my thang. ha.. (>.<)

What's so great about this wedding was that not only it was super sweet, short, and blunt, it really brought two different cultures (Vietnamese and Jewish) into one; I LOVE listening to different languages spoken at weddings and looking at cultural outfits and customs. The wedding was held at Tiato in Santa Monica and I wanted to share a few of my favorites.

#SummerofLove

That was Vanessa and Joey's wedding hashtag, yet I'm posting this blog right before Halloween. Ooooops. I feel guilty about how the blog doesn't get my attention as much, so I love you, yes, you - who's reading this, for checking this section out. Simply put, I will always remember Vanessa and Joey's wedding. Theirs has definitely ranked as one of my top favorite weddings I've ever shot in my relatively short wedding photography business years.

Candid California Redwood Wedding Photography

I had never photographed a wedding in the redwoods, so I could barely contain myself with my excitement for their destination wedding; seriously, it's such a blessing and honor to be invited to special days like this, and it is something I will never take for granted. The wedding took place this past May at Camp Navarro, and the fantastic photographer Brett Butterstein and I spent the whole 3-day Memorial weekend in the redwood forest, celebrating, capturing and feeling their corky and adorable love.
