Greystone Mansion: Beverly Hills, California.

Let me start off by saying that we love Helen and Dave. They are one of the nicest couples we have ever met. It's no surprise that they were awesome to work with. Everything from their relaxed attitude to the choice of beautiful venues was absolutely perfect. There was a great balance of candids and portraits to capture amazing pictures while keeping it fun and fresh. I had so much fun photographing everything from the beautiful venue to the tender moments that drew tears, even from my eyes.

We started off at the W Hotel in Westwood, then to the wedding at the incredibly photogenic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, and finally the reception at Lucques restaurant in Los Angeles. It was a perfect day.

Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills must have been built with photography in mind. It's simply gorgeous.

My favorite shot. The light was magical.

Being wine connoisseurs, Helen and Dave brought their own wine to Lucques to serve the guests.

I will blog this wedding eventually but I wanted to share this cute moment from Kristina and Keith's wedding reception at the Disney Grand Californian.

To Kristina's surprise, Keith sneaked a keyboard and a guitar into the reception and performed a couple of songs for her during the photo montage. The thing is, Keith doesn't play either instruments, so he started learning a couple of months ago. He first sang Billy Joel's "She's Got a Way" while playing the keyboard. He messed up quite a few times and his voiced cracked at a few high notes which made it that much funnier and touching. Kristina couldn't hold back her tears. Then he played Plain White T's "1, 2, 3, 4" while playing the guitar. Ever since my daughter was born, I've been more susceptible to tear-jerking moments, and I admit I was choked-up by this.

When we shot Kristina and Keith's engagement session recently, they surprised us with a gift for Maylin. It was such a sweet gesture, I had to show off the adorable gift. Sen calls them "Dorothy" shoes. I says this often and it's true, my clients are awesome!
