An Intimate Military Wedding at First Presbyterian Church in Santa Monica

Life can throw so many curve balls ~ There are times when you take them on with grace, and other times when you're a complete mess.  But in the end, things always seem to work out, and in the case of Hannah & Jin, that's exactly what happened!  These two had been dating for over a decade, so when Jin popped the question, they were as ready as could be to become husband and wife.  They'd been doing long distance for a while, due to Jin being part of the US Air Force and stationed far away, which made planning a bit difficult.  And then to top it all off, just a couple of months before the wedding they learned there was a chance that Jin might be called out to serve, and the wedding would have to be postponed.  Needless to say, it was an emotional roller coaster for these two ~ Jin was given the call and plans were made with vendors to reschedule for an unknown future date, but then literally 3 weeks before the wedding, Jin was told he would not be leaving!

In the end Hannah and Jin got married as planned, and these two could not have been happier!  Jin was bursting with joy as he saw his bride that day, and the love and support from all their family and friends was so evident.  They showed us so much strength through their faith and love in Christ, and trusted us to support them in prayer and with all the details of their wedding.  We are so happy to see you as Mr. & Mrs!

The Fancy Wedding at the Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles

After the first meeting with Jean & Stanley, the one thing I knew we absolutely had to make sure of was that Stanley got a big slice of cake at his wedding.  When he initially made the request, I laughed it off and thought he was being funny... but then he got real serious.  I learned quickly that Stanley LOVES cake.  Maybe as much as he loves Jean.  Apparently at every wedding he's been to, Stanley's been one of the first to get a slice of cake.  At one such wedding, which happened to be only a month or so before he proposed to Jean, Stanley had a slice of cake in one hand and skillfully caught the garter in the other, without even dropping a crumb.  True story.  The picture's on facebook.

So while this post is obviously about Jean & Stanley's wedding at the beautiful Vibiana, we also wanted to pay tribute to their love of cake and desserts, made deliciously by Jay's Catering!

Fun Engagement Photoshoot Ideas around Los Angeles

A few months ago, you met my cousins Jen & Rick, and today you get to meet another cousin of mine, Kim (Rick's sister) and her perfect match, Eddie!  Kim has always been the funny, quirky cousin, and I've always looked up to her for her opinions, free spirit and great sense of style (lots of anthropologie influence!)  I wasn't sure if there could be a man with just as much spunk and wit as Kim, but lo and behold they found each other, and in a way that only two people with as much character as they have, could have met!

Eddie is from Chicago, but moved out to LA a while back to pursue his acting career.  Kim is from LA but had recently moved back from SF, and was exploring a career in pastry and baking. Around the same time, the GLEE phenomenon had just begun to explode, and a few Gleeky Chicago friends living in LA decided to throw a New Year's Eve Glee-themed costume party.  Eddie met Kim, and their quirky humor fused into a great big ball of happy energy, bringing us to the present as they plan to forever laugh and grow old together.

These two have brought me so much laughter as I've spent more time with them, and it amazes more and more each time to see how God brought Kim & Eddie together to join in holy hilarious happy matrimony.  I'm thrilled to be part of the wedding and look forward to all our family gatherings with these great personalities!
