1st wedding of 2008 - John & Amanda

Wedding of John and Amanda is a beautiful one not because of the venue or decor, but because they are a wonderful loving couple that has been together for.....quite a while (kids are like as old as me :).....but I can feel the love between them are as strong as any young couple I've shot! Ok, plus they had their wedding at the beautiful St. Andrews Catholic Church in Pasadena. Check out the pictures below.



Even though it was starting to rain pretty hard just before I arrived, I still can't resist shooting some of these detail shots of the church!

Yay...done with 2007!

It's almost the middle of June 2008 and I've finally finished posting weddings from 2007! Such a milestone! I think I'll take a few months break before starting on shoots from 2008.

Just kidding, imaging how long I'll be if I really decided to take a few months off from blogging? few days = few weeks, few months = few years?.....NOOooooOOoooo.

I'll have them lined up for you now that blogger has the "post-date posting" feature (or whatever it's called). So I can work real hard for like a week and then slack off for few months....for real, me like it :)

Gene & Jenny - Cabo San Lucas - Destination Wedding (Part 2)

Yeah, as I mentioned in my last post I would give you guys the 2nd part of this destination wedding in a few days.....and what happened? yes, it's been more than a month and I am just typing it now. I feel so ashamed! :)

Ok, on with the blog post...

Gene and Jenny's wedding day was yet another beautiful day in the scenic Cabo San Lucas area, and I was lucky enough to be shooting their beach wedding at the oh-so-exclusive Esperanza Resort! When we got to their hotel suite to get some getting ready pictures we felt so comfortable because everyone has already met and ...shared a few shots of Don Julio the nignt before! Well, I guess I'll let the photos do the talking.

There were so many little details that made it so much fun for me to shoot :)
