Wedding at the Recreation Park Long Beach

Rachel & Ken are now living in New York. I shot their wedding a couple of months ago in Los Angeles and Long Beach. We started at the famous Hills Beauty Club in Los Angeles and then moved to the Oriental Mission Church for the ceremony. The reception took place at the Recreation Park Long Beach.


















Rachel and Ken decided to see each other before the ceremony and that gave us plenty of time to shoot them with their families and their bridal party so when the ceremony was over all they had to do was... HAVE FUN!

Wedding at Villa del Sol d'Oro-Sierra Madre

It's been a while since I wanted to shoot at the gorgeous Villa del Sol d'Oro in Sierra Madre. First, because it's a wonderful location... the facade is a two-thirds scale replica of the Villa Collazi near Florence which is said to have been designed by Michaelangelo! Second, because it's located in my backyard, between my home and my studio. And what better way to get that wish granted if on top of everything I got to shoot a great couple... Natalie and Derek got married at the Villa del Sol d'Oro in Sierra Madre last Saturday and I was thrilled to be part of their day.
