Christmas House Inn Rancho Cucamonga Wedding - Kelly + Greg

Kelly: "Greg, the joke is, we don't really do emotions. Of course that's not true, but the quiet way we love each other feels inherent, elemental, easy.... You've done so much for me. You've made me trust being vulnerable - in some rare, specific occasions. You believe in me - not just me, but the way I see the world... I promise high fives, dark inside jokes. fun adventures, coffee and tea, couch snuggles, snacks, and life. I promise to love you, even during football season. I promise to keep earning those looks, and looking at you that way in return. I promise you us."

Greg: "Kelly, it feels somewhat disingenuous to pledge my undying devotion to you as if it's some sort of sacrifice or grand gesture on my part because, in all truth, it is the ultimate privilege.... Despite being wildly antisocial I always look forward to spending all the time I can with you, and I truly believe it's because you don't just register as "another person"; you're a part of me... I promise to never stop making fun of you, and to never stop giving you ample reason to do the same to me.... I promise to always know where we are and in what direction we're headed so that you don't have to, and to do whatever math may come our way in life. And I even promise to throw in the occasional Harry Potter reference...always."

Pasadena California Wedding - Laina + Jake

One of the best things about my job as a wedding photojournalist is that I can never predict what would happen on a wedding day. Sure, there is the timeline with what's supposed to happen at what time, but I mean the relationships and personalities I get to photograph throughout the day. Because no two weddings are the same, I get pumped up and am nervous (in a good way) thinking about how the day would pan out. Laina and Jake's wedding was one of those life events where I went in with a complete blank space and came out with so much love, happiness, relief, comfort and fun!

Southern California Wedding - Katie + Blake

A wedding like Katie and Blake's encourages me to continue to do what I love the most; documenting our life as it is. I have such a huge admiration and respect for these two lovebirds who have the biggest heart for life and simply live theirs to the fullest. I personally think it's the best way to live - living in the presence, and it is so simple yet so rare to find those around me. 

Saying goodbye is always heart-aching, especially when it comes to your loved ones. Katie lost her father about a week before her wedding and we were going to postpone it. But Katie said because her father would have wanted them to be celebrating, the beautiful wedding was proceeded at Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles. And I could almost feel that Katie's father was there the whole day not only because every single person was so darn happy but also the day was complete with euphoria, lots of love and celebrations.
