The first time I saw Sharon and Naveen together was for their engagement session. I still remember seeing how awesome they were together. Their wedding day was a great continuation of that moment. It was a great day full of emotion. Tears of joy, huge smiles of happiness and an amazingly jumpin’ afternoon party. Sharon is coming all the way from Australia to live here in SoCal!! And it was an honor to be a part of their celebration. They had their ceremony at Zion Christian Center and the reception at the Double Tree Orange County. Thanks to a great team of vendors! Monique Atwell of A Signature Wedding who was such a treat to work with. The awesome Jason Young of Garner Films. Jason is the best…awesome to working with him. More thanks to Great Dane Baking Co, my mom’s favorite baker :) and Tribe DJ for an awesome, awesome party.

It’s pretty awesome when people from other parts of the country come to Southern California to get married. Toni and Joel came all the way from Ohio and they were married down by the beach in Oceanside. It was a cold winter evening and the clouds brought the dramatic look. And we always loved working with Joan Burns and her crew. DJ Bumps, Brian Bowman, brought the music and always does a great job taking care of the party. Congrats to Toni and Joel!!

On our way back from Phuket, Thailand, we stopped over in Hong Kong for 3 days. I had visited once with my Dad but I was only 10 years old, so I really don’t remember anything from then. My overall impression of Hong Kong is that it’s an awesome little city! Check out some of the pics below from my iPhone with a few descriptions of our trip.

• The first photo is from the top of Victoria Peak, one of the main tourist attractions. It was hazy but you could still see a bit of Kowloon across the harbor. Hong Kong Island is right below us.
• There was free WiFi everywhere! Which was pretty awesome. I think Tey is playing Words with Friends on her phone :)

Just wanted to do a quick post on Jordi and Sean’s wedding! We had the pleasure of joining Jordi, Sean and their awesome friends and family for their wedding in Newport Beach. Their ceremony took place at St. John Vianney in Balboa and their reception was at the Lido Island Yacht Club and it was a great, great day. We had an amazing pink sunset that had everyone coming out to check it out…it was fantastic. Congrats to Jordi and Sean!!

Back in December, we did a fashion shoot for Nolo Atelier, a men’s clothing line started by my friend Bryan. We shot down in San Diego at the Hard Rock Hotel and it was an amazing day of collaboration by everyone involved and I loved it! We don’t do this very often, but it totally got my juices flowing and I think a have desire to pursue some more fashion work in the future.

Tey and I led the photo team along with Mutya, who was assisting us that day. She took most of the behind the scenes video clips in the highlight clip below. As you will see, Nolo is going for that rockstar image, so it was definitely fun playing around with different ideas. Bryan already had a vision for the photos and style so we worked together to make sure we achieved that. We came out with some pretty cool images and learned a ton in the process. Bryan’s line looked awesome and he is raring to get them out there. So, look out for Nolo Atelier!! Coming soon to a boutique shop near you.
