Wedding: Jenny & Mike – 9/7/2009

When I first met with Jenny early this year I was a little overwhelmed 'cause they told me she and her 3 friends are all getting married within a year apart! All of them were having different plans but it's definitely a challenge to be sure all their pictures would have different characters and not feel the same. Time went by very quickly this year especially during this wedding season, and after Ling's wedding it is Jenny's turn!

It was definitely a very long, but a very pleasant and enjoyable day. I've never seen anyone laughing so hard during their wedding ceremony in a church... I was paying attention to shooting and didn't hear clearly what was said, but I'm sure it was hilarious as you can see them really cracking up in the pictures.

The evening reception was quite an experience too, with a whole paparazzi gang with about 6 other DSLRs around! AND a photo booth there too! I'm sure Jenny is still busy looking through all the pictures by now! Congrats again Jenny and Mike!

Wedding: Lisa & Erwin, Oneonta Congregational Church, South Pasadena

It’s a very hot summer day, but an absolute blast to work despite the heat because it’s finally Lisa & Erwin’s big day!

How often do you come across a bride who forgets her wedding bands before the wedding and would still smile about it? Yep that’s Lisa.. easily one of the cheerful, caring girls who’s marrying the love of her life. It’s definitely not my average day – 300 McDonald’s nuggets, groomsmen dancing around the groom, then watch them play tennis (don’t ask), having a dozen people jump at the Pasadena City Hall, watch the bridesmaids and kids dance around like you would back in pre-school. And after countless laughs and many drops of tears of joy, congratulations Lisa and Erwin! =)

Here’s a few pictures taken that day to share:

Big Thanks to the following vendors at the wedding who made everything go smoothly! :-)

• The very experienced and talented Joyce Luck and her team who took care of makeup and hair
• Jennifer Skinner @ Oneonta Congressional Church who made the ceremony go so smoothly
• and of course, DJ Konrad with the stellar sound setup

Wedding: Helen & Danny, 7/18/2009

Helen and Danny had their e-session just a few months ago, and I still remember the worried look on Helen we she picked up her canvas print. It was one of the hottest days this summer, and we had more guests showing up at the Chapel of Roses that was packed! But then again, everything went smoothly and the sweet couple had a great and happy wedding day in the end.

I have to thank you two for getting us ahead of the line to give the photo booth a try, boy it sure was a hit that day with guests lining up in front of it all night long!

Big thanks to Helen and Danny taking great care for us the entire day, making our job easy and enjoyable! :-)

Also thanks to all the vendors who made it a very successful wedding!

• Empress Harbor Restaurant
• Pearl at the Chapel of Roses
• Cheesy Photobooths
