Last weekend I shot Sasa and Arif's wedding at the lovely Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado Canyon. CA. It was a gorgeous day and a pleasure to watch these two get married.

Last Saturday I headed to Pasadena to shoot at the Lagham Hotel. I've been looking forward to shooting Jenn and Jonathan's wedding since I photographed their beautiful vintage engagement session earlier this year. Not only does this gorgeous couple share my love of Corgis (Hi Bear!), but they were open to letting me "do my thing" throughout the whole wedding day.
We had an awesome team of vendors at Jenn and Jonathan's Pasadena wedding, which made the day extra fun and smooth -
Wedding Planner: Echo Jenq
Florist: San Gabriel Nursery
The Awesome DJ: Donovan with Props fx
Lighting: Props fx
Dress: Winnie Couture Romonna
Invitations: Paper Wonders
Cinematography: Shade Tree Films (these guys blew me away with their same-day edit!)
Hair and Makeup: Kelly Zhang Makeup and Hair Team
And now, for some favorite images from Jennifer and Jonathan's Langham Pasadena wedding:

You know that I love all of your posts, but this one is my favorite of the wedding season so far. I love your creativity with these shots. The angles on the pictures of the chandelier and the couple dancing make the photos so interesting. I can't wait to tell you to "do your thing" in October!
