From the first time I met with Elaine and Brian, I just had that feeling that their wedding was gonna be a special one. Full of laughter and tears. Intimate yet fun! And of course, full of awesome details! Elaine is such a sweetheart and Brian is a chuckle waiting to happen. Such a big guy with an intimidating stare, but is so super nice and so much fun to be around. The ceremony took place at St. Anne’s in Seal Beach and then headed down to the Waterfront Hilton in Huntington Beach. They warned me that their friends were gonna have a blast and they did just that and more! Since our buddy Steve at Golden Sounds Entertainment was in charge of the party, we knew it would be hype on the dance floor all night long! Thanks to Amanda from In The Now Weddings and Events for putting together an awesome wedding! And the florals from Devynn’s Garden were beautiful. They had three different centerpieces that looked great! Check out some of the days highlights:
Elaine looked great in her lacy dress. I’m lovin lace these days.
1935 Rolls Royce!
In the church entrance with Dad.
St. Anne’s was a cool little church.
It was a traditional Catholic ceremony.
OK, do we look alike? HAHAHA They swear that I remind them of their good friend Orville (on the right). Must be the hair!
Time for some B+G!

And finally some cool details from the day…
It was a spectacular day in Oceanside as Tey and I joined Molly, Zack and their families for a beautiful wedding. They rented out a private condo right on the beach and had the ceremony on the back of the property…right next to the beach. And the rockin’ reception was on the rooftop. A really cool setup. They have awesome family and friends who were a blast to hang out with. Molly and Zack are just super cool. They made everything so fun and easy…especially their portraits. I restrained from posting some shots that were TOO much fun…I’ll save those for their private viewing :) Thanks to Joan from Samspson & Associates for setting things up and keeping us in check! It was a great, great event! Molly and Zack, thanks for an amazing day! Check out some of the days highlights.
YAY for Manolos!

What a great day this was! I was so glad to be able to attend and shoot this special wedding. I hadn’t seen my friend Woolim for a few years and it was just a joy to see him so happy. It was a beautiful setting near Tagaytay, just south of Manila. Hacienda Isabella was just breathtaking…a perfect blend of nature and gorgeous architecture/design. I can go on for a few paragraphs, but I’ll let the few photos below speak for the day.
We’ll start of with some details of the beautiful hacienda.
Shiloah with the veil on. That was the “oh wow, this is for real” moment.
Waiting to go down.
The long walk down the aisle. What a backdrop!
It was a touching ceremony with speeches, thank yous, crying, laughing, and all that good stuff.
One can get used to an awesome background like this one.
I love this one! Pure joy at it’s best.
Woolim, as I know him.
This one makes me smile.
Some reception details.
First dance in the sunset.
The best man, Jhoette. Another college buddy…it was great to see him there.
Special performance by Janoy, a local singer with an unreal voice. I need to get some of his songs.
Finally, my favorites…B+G time! Eyes.

The sit down.
And the tug.
The end…Congratulations guys! It was awesome…thank you again for letting us be there with you!!
