Intercontinental Los Angeles Wedding Photographs

britney — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 23:41:29 +0000

Christin and Alvin’s wedding at the Los Angeles Intercontinental Hotel hosted a large mix of guests from all over. When it came time to choose where to marry, they knew that no matter what location they chose a good portion of their friends and families would have to fly. Much like Christin’s Priscilla of Boston dress which traveled with her from Boston first, then Hawaii, then Southern California, their guest list also included a number of states. They ended up choosing the beautiful hotel in West LA, homage to meeting each other at UCLA. They put together a great support team including Floral Fields for floral designing and coordination and their band, Soul of Los Angeles.

2012 is off to a great start with Alvin and Christin’s wedding at the Intercontinental in Los Angeles! There’s nothing like doing portraits around fire pits and on heliports, and Christin made sure we were able to do both.

Green, Blue and DIY California Wedding

Marina and Brian planned a wonderful wedding in Diamond Bar, California. They have a fantastic garden at their Brooklyn brownstone and took a lot of the wedding details from that idea, even using one of the engagement photos we shot there as a showpiece for the wedding. With each table named for an herb they grow, invitations and stationary custom designed by Marina herself, and wheat grass as a base for many of the decor items, it was a great theme to photograph! On top of that, Marina and Brian each had their attire designed specially for the wedding.

Venue: Diamond Bar Center
Coordination & Planning: LVL Events
Bride’s Attire: Fancy New York
Groom’s Attire: Astor & Black
Stationary: Made With Heart
Florist: Xavier’s Florist
Catering: 24 Carrots
Groomsman Ties: David Hart & Co.

Sheryl and Michael flew from New York, along with over 100 of their guests, for their wedding at Sherwood Country Club in Westlake Village. Yep, that’s right, another bi-coastal wedding for this bi-coastal photographer team! With the wonderful help of McCann Florist and an amazing cake designer, it was a beautiful day.

Sheryl, checking herself out just before seeing her groom before the ceremony:

Have I mentioned how much we love an emotional first look?

I love the dramatic back of Sheryl’s gown!

They signed a ketubah in a very dark room, but with a very cool table.

And here she is, enjoying her awesome cake!

Hope + Cory: Adamson House Intimate Wedding, Malibu Wedding Photographers

joe — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:53:12 +0000

The end of our big wedding weekend in California was so sweet and fun. Hope and Cory are both pilots in the army; with Hope home from Iraq on R&R, Cory flew down from his station in Alaska to marry his beautiful bride. After spending all weekend with them, we can truly say that we were honored to photograph our friends at their small, intimate wedding overlooking the Malibu beach at the Adamson House. We’ll also thank them for the top-notch dinner at Charlie’s afterward!

We started with their portrait session since some heavy, dark clouds were rolling in quickly!

Sara + Andrew: Recreation Park Wedding, Long Beach Photographers

joe — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:30:24 +0000

While we were in California, we had the honor to photograph 3 weddings. Sara & Andrew’s wedding was an interesting one for both of us; mainly because Britney was Sara’s maid of honor! Britney has been long-time friends with both Sara and Andrew, so the opportunity to be her maid of honor was so important to her personally, but how could we resist and NOT take some awesome photographs! We were the added bonus to our friend Kristin, the official photographer, so Sara actually had 3 photographers at her wedding. Congratulations Sara and Andrew!

Los Angeles Union Station Wedding

Erin and Kevin’s wedding at Union Station in Los Angeles was so fun to be a part of, considering I knew a good half of the guest list! Beyond that, they arranged for a less than traditional timeline and had a pre-ceremony cocktail hour where they greeted their guests as they arrived. It was so nice to move straight from the ceremony right into dinner at two long tables, one on either side of the Traxx courtyard. From the art deco decor to the train line place cards, Erin really played up the history of Union Station.

Erin and Kevin really wanted their puppy, Rocky, to be part of the wedding!

John, Erin’s brother and gifted saxophonist, was surprised when guests started “tipping” him during the ceremony intro.

The afternoon light coming into Los Angeles Union Station is so soft and pretty!

Wedding in Cerritos, Long Beach Wedding Photographer

Kaden and Tiosha’s wedding at St. Anthony’s Church in Long Beach and the Sheraton at the Cerritos Civic Center was a long, hot day– and so worth it! Kaden and Tio planned a celebration to mix their Cambodian and Korean heritages with a vibrant red color palette. We started early in the morning at the Sheraton, then traipsed down to Long Beach for the ceremony.

The VMAs: morning entertainment

Love this emotional moment between Tio and her father just before the start of the ceremony!

THIS is what happens when we ask Kaden to “be serious!”

A special thanks to Miguel for capturing this photo!

Westridge Golf Club Wedding Photographers: Stephanie and Eric

joe — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:37:46 +0000

So… what to say? Steph has been my friend ever since (wait for it…) we took photography classes together! She and Eric have been together as long as I’ve known her, and both Joe and I were so honored to photograph their wedding at Westridge Golf Club in La Habra, California. Besides being friends, we thoroughly enjoyed their wedding and their friends and family.

We started at the salon with Steph:

Since it was at a golf club, you know…

Then onto the ceremony:

Eric and Stephs’ step-dad, Ed, have been working on this dragster for 4 years!

And, this may be the cake smashing to end all cake smashing, right here:

Don’t worry, she got him back!
