It was a perfectly beautiful sunny day in Huntington Beach for Som and Alan's wedding. Som has such a bubbly personality that it was so much fun just following her around the whole day. Many laughs and touching moments later, here are the results:

The beautiful Som.

Alan surprised Som with an Apple box... that had a Tag Heuer watch in it.

Som was happy to see friends before the ceremony.

Som designed all the favors and decor for the wedding.

I love when my clients put the engagement photos to good use. The photos looked great printed and framed.

I had an amazing time documenting Christine and Roy's wedding that started at her parents' house in Aliso Viejo and ended at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. We shot their engagement session a long time ago so it was great to finally see them again. My favorite part of the day was the private moments between Christine and her father. This is usually something that only the photographer sees, that moment before daddy gives his little girl away. I don't listen to the words that they say, but I follow the eyes as they look at each other and then away to keep from crying too much. I've seen this moment time and time again and it's always special.



































My favorite shot, part one.

We met Steffanie and Ruben over at Huntington Beach near the Hyatt Regency. I've been wanting to get some shots of a couple riding bikes, and as it turns out, they do that quite often there.

Ruben claims to be uncomfortable in front of the camera, but as you tell from these preview photos, he is very photogenic just like his gorgeous fiancee. He helped by making Steffanie laugh a lot, and you could tell they were having fun with the shoot. We really had a good time with them and we can't wait for their wedding in May.


At the popular tower in Huntington Beach. The blue sky serves as the perfect backdrop for the white tower.



We found this shaded area for them to get a little intimate.



They look so good together.



Love the smiles here.



The Hyatt Regency is such a pretty place for photos. These flowers are so cute and colorful.



We loved this wall as soon as we spotted it. Steffanie grew up just a couple of blocks away and said, "I never realized there were so many nice places for photos here!"



You can see their bikes in the background.






Even though they each had a bike, we thought it'd be cuter to have him give her a ride.



The sun was starting to set. You can see how soft the light was.



Another nice wall to shoot against.



Steffanie saw these boards and wanted to get a shot of themselves in front of their respective national flags. Sometimes, our clients come up with the great ideas!



Steffanie has the most gorgeous green eyes. Her shirt and the green grass complements them well.



Hard to beat the sunset on the Pacific coast.

I love how the photos turned out. Thanks for working through the freezing cold weather!
