lovely wedding reception at the Rococo Room!

Christine and Jeff got married January 1st in Taiwan and had this fabulous reception in Pasadena for their family and friends. They really chose a beautiful location for their reception, Santorini Cafe in the Rococo Room! It was perfect because we were able to get some amazing photos at Pasadena City Hall and found an amazing brick wall that we just LOVE!!

Doesn’t Christine look beautiful?!

Love her shoes!! They sparkle :)

We. Love. This.

Amazing brick wall + a happy couple, what more could we ask for!

Her dress looked amazing while she danced!

They had a jazz band, so fitting for old town pasadena!

Enjoy Patty & Chris’s pasadena engagement session.  I love the soup can telephones!  They brought them along to signify just how much they talked on the phone when they first started dating. I remember those days!

Jaclyn and Henry got some amazing California light for their engagement session!  We met up at Pasadena City Hall, one of my favorite places to shoot.  It’s just so gorgeous!!  Not as gorgeous at New York City though ;)  I just love the Apple Jacks & Oh Henry shirts!  I need some candy :)  I can’t wait for their wedding in June!

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing wedding for the extremely talented Meghan Aileen.  This was such a beautiful wedding mixed with modern details and rich in tradition.  The getting ready and reception was held at the Pasadena Westin hotel.  The church and portraits were taken at the neighborhood church in Pasadena.  My favorite part was the lion dance!  There is nothing like experiencing your first lion dance with a face full of lettuce!!!! I loved it!

I shot Angela and Jason‘s wedding two years ago at Malibou Lake. I was so honored when she called me to photograph her headshots. We had such a great time photographing in Pasadena. Angela is a great singer. You should definitly check out her site! She has a great video of her singing back up to Adam from the American Idol tour!

I just loved Jack and Prima’s engagement album and how they used it as a sign in book!

Prima and Jack had one of my favorite engagement sessions.  I just love the pink wall and downtown Pasadena setting they chose for their portrait session.  For their wedding they ordered a sign in album and canvas gallery wrap. I just had to show you how fabulous they turned out!

Maggie and Greg were married a year ago and Maggie wanted a Anniversary portrait.  I think this is such a good idea! I love any excuse to put your wedding dress on again.  Maggie wanted to head to downtown Pasadena and start with this Pink Wall.  Much to our surprise we found this awesome lime  green wall too.  I was in heaven with that lime green wall! It went so well with Maggie’s pink sash!  After downtown pasadena we traveled over to Pasadena City Hall for some more portraits.  One of my favorite spots in Pasadena is this old brick wall with moss growing on it.  I’m so glad Maggie got her fabulous Anniversary portraits!
