What I love about this wedding
1) I almost made the barbershop prep portion of this wedding it’s own post. Yup, a whole post just for the guy prep! I mean with the old school barbershop backdrop, the bow ties, the ethnically diverse groomsmen…I felt like I was in the perfect wedding! I wanted to be in the wedding!
2) I LOVE mid century modern. LOVE. The Fig House in Los Angeles is very unique, colorful, and unique mid century modern venue with so much character and it’s tucked away in this little neighborhood. When I first arrived there, I didn’t know I was there. But once I walked in I was astounded.
3) Jin, Ricky, Nhu (the coordinator) and myself had quite the adventure with this wedding. I’m not sure how many locations we ended up going to in total for their wedding, pre wedding and wedding, but it’s definitely a record breaker for me in my career! The challenge to hit so many locations was well worth it!
4) I’m going to give a shot out to one of my favorite coordinators Nhu (http://lumianievents.com/) She made this whole production feel like a breeze. She is such an amazing coordinator. Super duper amazing.
5) The food here was incredible! Catered by Room Forty! So beautiful wedding, beautiful couple, AND great food, I think may have been more in love than Jin and Ricky that day.

What I love about this wedding
1) Hmm. Tripadvsior rated the LeBlanc Resort in Cancun #2 all-inclusive hotel in the world in 2015. I think that speaks for itself.
2) Our hotel room included a butler. You know what I did with him? Nothing. I don’t know how to use a butler. I’ve never had one before and therefore he was almost useless to me.
3) After writing #1 and #2 I can’t believe I do this for a living. I was here for work. For work. I’ve been shooting weddings for about a decade now and I still can’t believe I do what I do for work.
4) My second shooter Nathan and I throughly enjoyed played table tennis in the water because we could. And that’s because they have a table tennis table in the water. Nothing special. Pretty normal. We also took a cycling class in the water the day of the wedding, also just because we could.
5) During the after session, I wore shorts and sandals. Makes me a little envious of those who have casual fridays for work regularly, but then I thought I’m at the #2 all inclusive resort in the world, I’m good

Hey check it out! It’s my first wedding I’ve blogged in a while! I’m trying to be good about my blogging lately to make up for the long time that I’ve neglected this.
What I love about this wedding
1)When I first checked out Saratoga Springs Campground on the website I fell in love. Then when I went to go scout the location I fell in love again. And of course when I finally went to there to shoot Robyn and Jake’s wedding I fell in love thrice. I wish I could insert one of those new facebook emoticons here.
2) I’ve shot some beautiful first looks in my career, but not only was this first look spot amazing, Jake’s reaction to seeing Robyn for the first time is just downright precious. His jaw dropped, had it dropped any lower he would’ve been drinking out of the stream below. Check out his expression.
3) I think I’ve been pretty lucky in my career as a photographer and I think I can say I got lucky again with this wedding. It rained and rained during this day, but right before ceremony the rain stopped.Thank goodness.
4) I’m also lucky because Robyn and Jake are such sweet people. And talented. Jake is a musician by trade so that’s really awesome. But also bilingual..in Korean! I didn’t know he was able to speak Korean so when he did during the wedding rehearsal my mind exploded for every character that he spoke. Boom!
5) Finally, I want to point out something that I don’t normally write about. It’s a shout out to Omar, who is Robyn’s former boss. That dude can dance. I’ve never seen anyone tear up a dance floor like that guy. When he was done dancing you could see steam come off his head. Wow. I tried to battle him at the end of the night and lost dearly.

What I love about this wedding

1) The venue! Ohhh The christ cathedral is so beautiful! I’ve only seen it in photos prior to coming here and to see it in person is so life-fulfilling!
2) The vintage car we had to photograph is always a plus for photoshoots. ALWAYS!
3) The portraits we shot on site OMG I love. I love it because it’s beautiful, simple and classic.
4) Even in my prime of my partying I would be wallflower compared to how John, Vy and their friends are. I got excited being in the midst of it, I felt like I was young and live again.
5) It was my first time seeing an altered first look where the groom sneak attacks the bride. Was it cool? I’m not suer, but it was different and I like things that are different.
