I had the pleasure of photographing Janet’s maternity session this past Sunday. Some of you following this blog may recognize the amazing blue room from Janet and John’s wedding. I just love color. Janet’s pink outfit really pops against the contrasting blue wall.

Hanna is due very soon. We can’t wait to meet you. Stay tuned for her baby session.

This is a really cute set of details. Janet’s got a good baby-bump.

Pregnant and still sexy!

Janet and John were married this past Sunday at the beautiful San Gabriel Hilton hotel. Janet and John are high-school sweethearts. Carol, a Bridesmaid told a cute story of how the couple discovered that they both lived a few doors down from one another since the age of five.

I managed to get a hotel staff to assist me in hanging the wedding gown off one of the lighting fixtures in the hotel lobby.

John is a USC alumni and wanted photographs taken on the campus. As a UCLA alumni, I had to force myself to go to USC All kidding aside, USC is a beautiful campus with great architecture and a beautiful garden in the courtyard.

The ceremony was held outdoors on the third floor of the hotel. John works as a field staffer for State Assembly Member, Mike Eng who presided as the Officiant for their wedding.

Congresswoman, Judy Chu, was on hand to sign the marriage certificate.

I caught my second photographer’s flash as he photographed the Bridesmaids watching the first dance. The reflection of the table cloth and back wall forms a perfect image of a heart!

It was a tearful moment when this surprised guest arrived during the reception.

Beach Engagement Session

Janet & John: Engagement

HenryC — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:12:03 +0000

Janet and John are high school sweethearts finally ready to tie the knot. It was cool to discover that John speaks the same Chinese dialect as I do. The Chinese language is a lesser-known dialect called Teo Chiu.

Anyhow, the couple are getting married in October at the San Gabriel Hilton and wanted to their engagement session to be less formal and more casual. So off to Malibu we went. The first location was at Zuma beach. It’s a nice casual beach with good surf. The sand was emaculate. Next off, we headed to nearby Point Dume for the cliffs and rocks. There were a group of rock climbers scaling the rocks and I almost suggested to Janet and John to harness up for a photo shoot off the cliffs

Here are a few photographs from the session.
