Beverly Hills Wedding with Emi & Motoki

July 19th, 2010

When Emi made a list of “must-haves” in her future husband, she put down a Christian Japanese-speaking man as one of the requirement. Little did she know God has someone specific in mind that not only met that “hard to find” requirement but someone that went above and beyond in Motoki. Watching interact together, you [...]
 

When Emi made a list of “must-haves” in her future husband, she put down a Christian Japanese-speaking man as one of the requirement. Little did she know God has someone specific in mind that not only met that “hard to find” requirement but someone that went above and beyond in Motoki. Watching interact together, you can’t help but to smile. They are so good & nice to each other and at the same time know how to be goofy and fun. They laugh, make faces, hug and both have a big heart for people and share a common faith & love in Jesus Christ. Not to mention, Motoki has a job in Hollywood that every computer geek will drool over!

They celebrated their wedding at the Wilshire United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, CA. We then spent some time walking through Rodeo drive doing a photoshoot. The reception was held at Lawry’s Prime Rib restaurant in Beverly Hills.

Big thanks to Mike Poeschl for second shooting this with me. Without his help I don’t think I could have made it to the airport on time to go back to Chicago for another wedding the next day! Here are some photos from the wedding. You can find more by visiting my facebook page:

Thank you Emi & Motoki for the awesome day! You guys are an amazing couple and I am blessed to be part of your lives. Also, your bilingual wedding service was so blessing!

When I first met Jenny & Alan in 2009 at Barnes & Noble in Oak Brook for our interview, I instantly was impressed by Jenny & Alan. I usually get a good read on people and Alan exemplifies what an true gentlemen and a nice guy should be like. Jenny was full of grace, class filled with elegance. I secretly kept my fingers crossed hoping that they would choose me as their photographer. When they finally made their decision, I was elated and could not wait for their wedding which was not going to be until over a year later! Well the day finally came this past June. The event took place inside America’s tallest building in Willis Tower at the Metropolitan Club. I can confidently say that their love was taken to another height that day! Filled with tearful, thoughtful and unforgettable moments, this was truly a perfect day for everyone that came to celebrate Jenny & Alan’s union as one. I have a feeling that these guys are going to be in love for long long time. And I also have a feeling I’ll be friends with them in the future.

Thanks to Patricia Hildebrand for assisting me as my associate shooter for this event. It is always fun working with another talented photographer! Melissa Phillips of Simply Perfect by Melissa did a fabulous job organizing this day. It was a pleasure working with you. The room was adorned with flowers designed by Vale of Enna. Here are some images that highlighted their day:

Jenny & Alan, thank you so much for allowing me to spend this fabulous day with you guys. I was so blessed by your generosity and kindness. And the people around you are lucky to have you guys as their friends.

Gaithersburg Maryland Wedding: Hannah & Mark

I was introduced to Hannah through her brother Daniel, whose wedding I got to photograph about a year ago. We spent some time last July doing their engagement session in Baltimore. They took me out to eat as soon as I arrived at the airport (my kind of a couple!) then we did not start shooting until about 2 hours after we got to look around the city. I had a blast with them then and I could not wait for their wedding to arrive. I can honestly say that Hannah & Mark are one of the most thoughtful couples I’ve ever met. Even though I was their photographer, I felt more like their guest at their wedding. I was not the only one – everyone at the wedding felt appreciated and blessed by them.

I also got to spend some time shooting with my new friend Paul Barrios and reconnected with Kristen Leigh & Peter Bang. Paul, Kristen & I got to shoot together so that was lot of fun. Visit their link to check out their photos from that day! Peter is another great photographer from the DC area but his kids were ring bearer & flower girl at the wedding and is a close friend of Hannah, he got the weekend off to enjoy the event with his family as guests. It was good seeing all of them as well as meeting new friends there.

I wish I could post more photos here on my blog. But I know that it clogs up download time and most of my viewers are now impatient so I have narrowed it down to just 17 and the rest of them can be viewed on my facebook. If you were a guest at the wedding, then feel free to register yourself by visiting their online gallery.

Here are few images from their beautiful wedding day:

Destination Wedding in Palm Beach, Aruba: Nate & Peggy

The wedding season officially started for 2010. And not a bad way to start at all. It started way down south – as close as you can get down to South America without actually getting there. When I got the final confirmation last year from Nate & Peggy that I was going to be their wedding photographer in Palm Beach, Aruba, the first thing I did was get up from my chair and started singing the song by the Beach Boys: “Aruba, Jamaica, Oooh I wanna take ya…” I knew this wedding was going to be a fun one because I got to spend some time with Nate & Peggy last month photographing their engagement session in New York City. I loved their personality, energy and their love for photography. And they also loved eating good food (Started our session by eating Japanese ramun noodle for lunch)!! So I knew right there and than that we were going to get along just fine.

You could not ask for a better wedding. Five days under the Aruba sky. Friendly Arubans greeted you with their warmth and hospitality. Amazing seafood. Breath-taking snorkeling sites. Driving around the island during our photoshoot. Getting to know Nate & Peggy along with their close family & friends – everything was a delightful. Thank you so much for allowing us to capture your wedding day and spend the weekend with you guys. Weddings like this reminds us how blessed we are as wedding photographers to call this our vocation (or was it vacation)?!?! :)

The ceremony & the reception took place at the beautiful Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa in Palm Beach Aruba. Here are some images that highlight the weekend. I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I had fun editing and putting them together. Big thanks to Kenny Nakai for being my wingman for this wedding.
