This past weekend I photographed a wedding with photographer Jason Redmond, that took place in Culver City at the Culver Events Center. The day started at the Huntley in Santa Monica. Here’s a handfull of my favorites!
I met Melissa and Jeff back in August as they started planning their wedding. Melissa would describe her vision as “modern, classic, a little bit of glam.” I photographed their engagement session at Paradise Cove in Malibu. It was exciting seeing Melissa’s vision come together this past weekend! They were surrounded by their families and their wedding included traditions from Melissa’s Spanish heritage including a lasso ceremony and mariachi band. Here’s some of my favorite pictures!
When I first saw Jeff, I almost didn’t recognize him! He was wearing a tux, sunglasses, and long hair slicked back.
Most of Melissa’s bridesmaids have been in her life since the age of 12, with the exception of her sister and a high school friend. How gorgeous are these ladies!
The sun was so bright, Jeff had to turn away from the sun until Melissa was close to the alter.

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of photographing a beautiful celebration at the beach. My photographer friend Kathryn Colby has daughter who was turning two and being christened on the same day. Kathryn is highly detailed and planned every part of the event; from the color theme, to outfits, homemade cupcakes, and setting up the event site, nothing was overlooked! 60 of her closest friends and family attended the ceremony, and it was a perfect day at the beach in Rancho Palos Verdes! Here’s some of my favorite pictures.
Victoria and Tony met while attending school at UCLA, and celebrated their 5th anniversary of being together on their wedding day this past Saturday. Tony is currently a successful video game designer for the biggest selling game of all time, Call of Duty and Victoria is exploring the PR field and is pursuing her passion for event planning. It was no wonder their talent and creative mix lead to lots of fun and personal details! Victoria and Tony chose yellow and grey as their wedding colors, as also seen from their engagement session at the Santa Monica pier. These two tied the knot this past weekend at one of my favorite venues, Calamigos Ranch in Malibu!

Sakura and Nathan’s wedding took place on Saturday afternoon at Nathan’s family’s home in Garden Grove. The details of this wedding were planned to a T, with lots of bold style, handmade details, and cultural elements.
The style of the wedding was BW stripes with red accents. While some brides do a second dress for the reception, Sakura wore a white dress that showed her striped BW stockings and 3 different shoe changes (well, actually 4 if you count the ones she wore while getting ready). Her first set was a fierce red high heel with deadly spikes! Nathan wore a BW striped tie and red converse shoes.
Sakura and Nathan chose not to see each other until the ceremony; however, beforehand they wanted to do some formal pictures with the bridal party. Sakura had a mix of bridesmaids and bridesmen.

Sakura waited with her father in a BW canopy tent as guests arrived. I think everyone was pretty surprised when her sisters unzipped it and Sakura came walking out to a Muse song. Guests were seated at their tables as they watched.
