Wedding of David & Sherry 7.7.7!

Wedding of David & Sherry was one of the millions (ok, maybe thousands) of weddings that were held on this super lucky/popular/sought after/earliest booking/rare day! I believe these guys had me booked around 18 months in advance (maybe more). And what a kick ass day it turned out to be. They had a wonderful outdoor ceremony and reception at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa, then after that we took the fun down to the beach and got our feet wet at the coast of Laguna Beach (we had to go, it was only 15 min drive away!).

On with the pictures:


love it!


The building is so cool...

You look good David!


Ceremony...


yes, we had a bit of a mixup on which hand the ring should go...but we got it all sorted out!

Such kind words...

Sorry, but I really have to share this with all of you. Linda, thanks so much for leaving such kind comments about my work, I feel I must share it with the rest of you:

Linda said...

Thanks Henry, I guess I finally have time after the wedding to surf the web. Thanks for posting our pictures on your blog. Another thanks for doing such a great job at our wedding. Your professionalism should be exemplary to other photographers. Everyone was wondering if you were one of my friends. I should say that your hardwork goes across the board, whether if the client was your friend or not, you still offer the same type of passion, charisma, and professionalism with all your clients. Thanks!

Thanks Linda and Koon! It was such a pleasure shooting your wedding! It is such a pleasure that you point this out because I believe this is what people should look for in wedding photographers, a friend, not just some guy!

Wedding of Linda & Koon @ The Reef

Ok, as promised the wedding blogging continues :)

Linda and Koon may look familiar to some of you readers of my blog because I did a e-session for them back in March. But yup! Their wedding day has come and it was on June 30, 2007 at the beautiful "The Reef" restaurant in Long Beach. The ceremony was beautiful besides the HOT AS HELL temperature!

Now, Koon was actually co-workers of Kenny from the previous post (Virginia and Kenny), so they knew each other but the similarities doesn't stop there. Both couples has been together since their high school years, have already celebrated a whole dozen (yes, 12) valentine days together, getting hitched in 2007, month of June, both are boy + girl.......etc, you guys get the idea...hehe!

I think most of you have already scrolled down, so go ahead, check out the pictures!
