Diana and John recently married (08.28.2010) and held their wedding ceremony at Saint Callistus Catholic Church with the reception at the beautiful Villa banquet hall.  I previously met these two when I covered her sister’s wedding last year. They were a wacky and fun loving couple then so I was certain I wouldn’t be disappointed with their “performances” on their wedding day. The photography was splendid throughout the day – moments of joy,  tears of sentiments, expressions of love, and nights of dancing were captured that day.  Please preview a few of my favorite photographs captured on their wedding day.

Well, they got engaged this year and will wed next month. We shot their engagement session at Seal Beach and along Main St. early this week. The week must have been real exciting, and I bet hectic, since they were leaving for a family trip to Hawaii the very next day after our session together.

Below are a few of my favorites from the session.

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

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.
