Wedding of William & Cynthia

WHAT, another referral wedding? YES! This bride booked me over the phone from Manhattan, NY! Cynthia (or Cindy as she likes to confuse me...) is a cousin of Tina & Marcus so she has already seen my work and heard about how I shoot weddings so she was sold before calling me! yay, more of this kind please!!!

Anyhow, these guys actually had their wedding down in San Diego so I had my brother come along as the drive / 2nd shooter / formal picture taker! Cindy's family LOVES to take pictures with their relatives since they do not get to see each other very often, so while I was upstairs taking pictures of Cindy getting ready, jerry was SOOOO swamped with all of the aunt and uncles requesting pictures! Thanks Jerry, you rock!

Ok, enough yapping, pictures please:


so nice!




good thing their master bathroom is big enough to fit 50 people (ok, 1/2 were reflections from the mirror!)


no mirror here!


beautiful Cindy


ah!


William didn't look too bad either. I shot this image next to the window that they were doing to do their tea ceremony with and they totally though WT..Hell? But after I showed them they said...ahh...henry you do good! :) me like complements!

Wedding of Walter & Geraldine

The same day Jerry was shooting Darin and Stacey's wedding, I was busy shooting Water & Geraldine's wedding. These guys are referrals from Juan and Claudia's wedding I shot a year ago! Yay for referrals!

This wedding was such a FAR drive, it's out in woodland hills! I know there are plenty of you out there that say that's nothing, but after you've been shooting a wedding for 10 hours, then drive more than an hour back home! That's quite a drive!

But luckily for me I had a super cool couple to work with and they kept telling me how F-ing kick ass I was, so that helped alot with the ego thing :P Check out the images!



Dress details...


I like this shot! Great flowers that day.


Kalen, my assistant / 2nd shooter / camera rack shot this one! You rock dude!

they had johnny depp as their limo drive. Too bad he didn't come in the pirate costume!


me like this one.....looks like a soprano shot!






1st dance, such a lovely couple!

their band was so awasome!

Wedding of Stacey & Darin

This couple may look familiar to you whose been with my blog for a while :) I shot their engagement session a few months back Jerry (my big brother) had the pleasure of shooting this super beautiful wedding at a spectacular venue. They had their ceremony at the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach and their reception at the Turnip Rose Grand Newport Plaza!!! I was so envious that Jerry got to shoot there. But no worries, you'll see me shooting my couple right after this couple's :)

Enjoy...
