Portuguese Hall | Wedding Photography | Artesia, CA


      Jennifer and Eddie are a match made in heaven. We got to know them over the course of their wedding planning, and they are an adorable and beautiful couple. Jennifer told us the story of how she was feeling sick at work one day, and having heard this, Eddie, only knowing Jennifer as an acquaintance at that time, went during his break to go buy her some medicine. Later, a co-worker asked Jennifer if she would consider dating Eddie and Jennifer responded, "No. Because Eddie isn't the kind of guy you date; he's the kind of guy you marry." And marry him she did!

      We had the honor of documenting Jennifer and Eddie's wedding that took place at Our Lady of Refuge Church in Long Beach with their reception at the Portuguese Hall in Artesia. Because we like to tease, we are giving a small glimpse into Jennifer and Eddie's day.

Jennifer's grandmother passed down her wedding ring for Jennifer to have when she got married. And to honor her, Jennifer pinned the ring next to her heart inside her wedding gown.

As a gift to his Groomsmen, Eddie gave out personalized flasks. AWESOME!

Last but not least, we have to mention a little surprise that goes by the name of Neal and his Thunderbird. Eddie, you got yourself some stiff competition there. ;) inside joke. 

Neal happened to see us as he was driving and graciously volunteered his Thunderbird for a couple bridal portraits!

This picture is for you Neal!

Aquarium of the Pacific Wedding Photography | Long Beach

   A few weeks ago, we previewed Tina and Erik's wedding at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Without further adieu, here is their wedding day, complete with a video highlight. This wedding was particularly special as Tina is my sister. Despite being a bridesmaid, and without a camera for many parts of the day, our awesome Jessica Elizabeth team handled the photography, cinematography, and interactive photobooth with stride. To my amazing and talented husband, Robert, thank you for making this day so beautiful! Special thanks to Kevin and the rest of our Jessica Elizabeth team for rocking this event! Because of you guys, Tina and Erik have wonderful memories to look back at.

Last summer we had the honor in participating in a wedding vendor challenge for Best Wedding Sites.  The challenge was to create and style a Bridal Shower using the colors Yellow and Blue. 
The team consisted of Miriam of Miriam Corona Events, Samantha of Paper Mints, florals and linens from Cristina of Posh Peony Event Design, and the adorable sweets from Eileen at Cucamonga Cakery. Our team had tons of fun running with the challenge and our design even made the cover of the September Issue of Best Wedding Sites Magazine
Since I know many of our brides are currently working on the themes and floral designs for their summer weddings, I thought we would post a little inspiration on this beautiful summer like day in February here in SoCal. This post may also be helpful to all you MOHs (Maid of Honors) out there looking for inspiration for that Bridal Shower you will be hosting soon.
To read more about the details and design of this shoot, check out the feature article here:

Long Beach | Wedding Photography | Pixie's Petals

Wow!  How did it get to be Friday already!?!  Did all of you have a fabulous week?

Well, Spring is definitely here in Southern California.  It's 71 degrees and beautiful.  So, I thought I'd post some photos of springtime florals that will surely get you in the mood for Easter.
Leslie of Pixie's Petals recently invited me to photograph her floral designs at the El Dorado Park  Restaurant and Event Center in Long Beach.  Thanks Leslie :)

I love the sunset's beautiful rim light on this tulip bouquet.

It was pretty tricky to get this bouquet to stand up.  But I was determined to do it!
