Johnalyn & PJ :: Wedding Highlights

Relationships like Johnalyns and PJs are truly rare. To have been together for so long and been through so much together including great distances that meant they were apart for a time means that they know full well they want to be with each other. Their journey lead them to this day, and I’m sure they wouldn’t have changed a thing about it.

Ivy & Rich :: Wedding Highlights

Ivy & Rich’s wedding was definitely the joining of two families. From the way in which the women in Rich’s family wore traditional Vietnamese dresses during the earlier tea ceremony to the way in which Ivy’s family got down the dance floor jamming out to the awesome American band they had for nighttime, it truly was a perfect celebration of both sides.

Carol & Henry :: Same Day Edit

In prepping for the day and edit, Carol and Henry expressed that they wanted very candid and natural looking shots. We were totally onboard with that as that is the style of shooting we usually aim for. Pure natural moments where you can really just tell that everybody is having a great time are some of our favorites, and those kinds of moments definitely come to light in Carol and Henry’s video. Congrats again, you guys, and thanks for being our 200th!

Catherine & Norman | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Catherine & Norman :: Same Day Edit

Catherine and Norman are both such a blast and great people to be around. The circle of friends and family around them who speak so highly to who they are as people and as a couple are a testament to this. I knew going into this same day edit that they’d be super easy to work with and that it’d be just a really fun day overall. That was definitely the case, and I’m so happy Anna and I got to be a part of Cat & Norman’s big day.

Lily & Hoai :: Wedding Highlights

Lily & Hoai are our officially last wedding of the summer, and they were a great way to wrap the summer for us. What we really enjoyed from their wedding was how playful they are with one another. We noticed this especially during the open dancing. They just had a blast with one another, and you could really tell that they were in their own world… dancing like nobody was watching.

Kim & John :: Wedding Highlights

Major props to Kim & John–they managed to close on a house all in the middle of wedding planning. And not only that, they finished enough work on it in time to use the wonderfully lit space for morning prep shots and first look. We love shooting in spaces with great light and minimal clutter, and this was exactly that.

Location aside, it was a pleasure to work with Kim & John. They were both great to work with, and we had a blast working alongside other friendors. Congrats again, you two!

Theresa & David | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Theresa & David :: Wedding Highlights

Theresa & David came all the way from Florida to have their June wedding in Southern California. As such, we didn’t get to meet them until the day of the wedding. In our short time with them though, it was clear what sweet and amazing people they are through their interactions with one another and the way in which their closest friends and family spoke about them. We’re so happy for Theresa & David and wish them all the best on their new journey together.

Annie & Lu | 8 Kinds of Smiles

Annie & Lu :: Wedding Highlights

There was a point when we were shooting sunset portraits with Annie & Lu where he just kept telling her how beautiful she looked. We didn’t tell him to do that for a shot, it wasn’t a first look, and a large chunk of the day had already passed. He said it because he was still awestruck by his now wife. Genuine moments like that are one of the things we love most about weddings, and this is easily one of the clear moments from the day that stand out to us. If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is.
