Rainbow. Tears. Yellow frame. Lots of kisses. Non Stop laughter. Beautiful light. Dancing shoes. They brought New York to hawaii and left with nothing but amazing memories.

This is what happens when your family & friends fly from the mainland to the islands of hawaii. Everyone tunes into vacation mode and just want to have a good time. Cheryl & Nate’s wedding day is a perfect example if this. It couldn’t have been any other way and they definitely know how to have an awesome time on one of the most important days of their lives. Just scroll down and witness the magic. I also was blessed to work with some very talented videographers such as Jason Magbanua, Randy Panado & Joshua Fair . You can watch the amazing video from their wedding day –> ( Click Here ) ! Congratulations on your wedding and also another huge congratulations to the newest edition to the family!! Love you guys!

This is what you get when you have two amazing bridesmaids who are good at what they do to provide an amazing Do It Yourself backyard bridal shower experience. I was there briefly in the beginning to help setup and shoot photos before everybody arrived.

Diana is an amazing chef and created a chinese food theme for the afternoon. On the menu was white bao with peking duck, lettuce wrap with minced lemongrass chicken, egg rolls, shrimp toast, noodles with chicken, bok choy and shiitake mushrooms, fried rice, s’mores cupcakes, chocolate dipped marshmallows, strawberry lemonade, mimosa and a triple berry cake that Richard’s sister, Celine provided

Ivy was given the task to decorate the bridal shower with the help of some of her family members. I was able to witness her ideas come to life. From the custom blue painted mason jars, a custom-made guestbook, the little details that were created with the little amazing cricut machine, personalized frames filled with He/She printouts, menus, and photos of the bride and groom, lace table linens that were tailored by Ivy’s mom, gorgeous white china mums, hydrangeas and orange roses that Ivy’s sister, Grace arranged. All in the setting of Richard’s sister, LeeAnn & Geoff’s beautiful backyard located in Porter Ranch, California.

Overall, people were saying that we should start our own party planning company which includes catering, decorating, and photography…I think it’s something to think about

I’ve worked with Nic in the studio a while back with my awesome business partner john williams for level99. We recently hooked up again and did a couple of test shots for her portfolio for ford modeling agency and ours as well. We definitely hit it off the whole day just going with the flow of the lighting situations. Thank you Gabriel Valdez for the make up / hair touch ups and my lady for providing the location!

I’ve known Haejean since Jr. High. We used to have all the same neighborhood friends and cause ruckus around our neighborhood. Eventually, we all lost touch throughout high school until years after. Then the most famous social network named facebook came along and brought some of us into contact again. The stars aligned and I was honored to be their wedding photographer.

I seriously had to hold back some man tears through out their wedding day. The speeches, tears, and laughter were priceless to witness not only from Heajean and Matt, but from the shower of love given from their friends and family. I’m simply always thankful to be part of two extraordinary people who trust me to provide them with a lifetime ofmemories. Enjoy

I had the opportunity to be the 2nd shooter along with Frank Amodo at the Paul Mitchell Estate in Lanikai. They were the most mellow couple I’ve ever shot. Due to their last minute and busy schedule, Joshua explained to me that his sister planned their whole wedding. They actually didn’t have any part in the planning process. All they had to do was set their wedding date and book their flight to hawaii. I was quite impressed with the sisters talent.

The timeline was so relaxed, which I enjoy alot. This is beneficial to any couple getting married, allowing them not to feel rushed and truly enjoy themselves on the most important day of their lives.
