This wedding was on of my favorites in 2012.  The fact that it took place at Seven Degrees which is the same venue in Laguna Beach where my wife and I got married less than a year ago made it even a little bit more special.  Special thanks to Conrad Lim for doing an awesome job shooting this wedding with me.

Get Ready Location: Pelican Hill

Coordination: Sassy Girl Weddings & Events

Makeup: Theresa Huang

Ceremony & Reception: Seven Degrees

I met Angie back in 2009 at a wedding.  Angie was working as the makeup artist and I was as the photographer.  We strike up a friendship, did a few gigs together, kept in touch and saw both of our businesses grew.  Then just last year I was surprised when Angie contacted me to shoot her wedding.  Needless to say, I was beyond excited.  That was when I had the pleasure of meeting Algernon.  Together these two love birds are quite a pair.  Their quirkiness, fun loving, and laid back personality is the perfect example of the youthful spirit.   Angie and Algernon….Thank you for putting your trust in me to immortalize one of the most important days of your lives.  I had such a blast doing it.

I distinctively remember the first time meeting Greg and Trixie. They seem so cool, laid back, and unpretentious. And that set the tone for their beautiful wedding in Santa Monica at Tiato Kitchen Bar Garden.  Oh and did I mention unicorns

One of many adorable moments of the day.

The gorgeous bride.

The expression of Greg’s face said it all.

I could not get enough of moment like this.

Sweet embrace seconds after the ceremony.  I can feel a sense of complete togetherness.

I like to begin this post by expressing how excited I am to share this beautiful traditional Cambodian wedding of Megan and Jeff that took place over two consecutive days.  Day one started at Hotel Current in the city of Long Beach.  It was comprised of different ceremonies, music, a dinner banquet, gifts, fruits, flowers, candles and colorful ornate costumes.

Every now and then you get to meet some folks that makes you feel totally relaxed and connected to because they are so gentle, warm and down to earth.  Jules and Sidd are two of those people for me.  Being present at their wedding, I was so touch to have witnessed their capacity to love and to be loved when they are around their family and friends.  Although they are both from two different cultures, it was apparent that they share the same soul. Jules and Sidd! You guys are amazing human beings. Thank you for having us at one of the most special days in your lives.  Also thanks to my second and third photographer Alex Thamrin and Kevin Le for shooting this wedding with me.

We are so honored and extremely excited to be on Junebug Wedding‘s list of World’s Best Wedding Photographers!
