Tracey + Matt : Los Angeles Griffith Observatory Engagement

Wai — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:17:12 +0000

I first met Tracey and Matt at Matt’s sister Christina and John’s wedding which I photographed 2 years ago. I was thrilled when they contacted me for their wedding this Fall!

For someone who shoots weddings and portraits almost 90% of the time in Orange County, I am so delighted that Tracey and Matt picked Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for their engagement. The place was busy with visitors but these two played it like champs. I loved the outfits Tracey wore, and those shoes are to die for! Tracey is one stylish bride, and I just know their wedding is going to be special and ridiculously gorgeous.

We enjoyed our time there so much that after our session, we sat down in the cafeteria over coffee and talked more about their wedding. I loved all the details I heard so far and I cannot wait to see these two again in November!

Julia + Charlie : Korean Christian Wedding in Fullerton

Wai — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:33:15 +0000

Julia and Charlie met and fell in love in the church. When we were first going through their wedding details, it was apparent that their church would play a very important role. In fact, they had a Christian song playing during the grand entrance. Not only was their ceremony held at the church compound, their reception too! I was confused at first, but when I saw the venue, I was pleasantly surprised! Grace Ministries International was huge and surrounded by lush greens, which worked perfectly with their yellow, white, and blue wedding colors.

I love all the DIY elements at this wedding! Julia’s gown was custom-made and the embellished sash was hand-made by her mother. I also adore all the bridesmaids’ mismatched dresses and shoes! Each owned her individual style while staying true to the navy-colored motif.

Julia and Charlie’s wedding included some of their closest family and church friends, and I am so grateful to be part of their big day! I’ll remember this wedding as the one with the yummiest meals :) Thank you guys, for treating me like a guest!
