L + B = <3

Posted in Weddings

She’s hyper and cutesy, he’s calming and kind-hearted. She’s outspoken and loving, he’s a gentlemen and caring. Its a simple math equation… Linh & Brad are made for each other.  It was a beautiful ceremony at La Estancia in La Jolla, the wedding of their dreams. The classic yet missionary-like architecture, design, and vegetation of the venue provided the perfect setting for Linh & Brad’s vow renewals. It also gave me a lot of cool options for photos =) Hope you guys enjoy this one!

Venue: Estancia La Jolla

Photographer: Jenny Thai Photography

I kept getting drawn into her workings. Valerie Vonprisk’s keen eye and magic touch brought out the fresh and beautifully flawless bride in Linh. I absolutely love it when they opt for a First Look. They shared this special moment to themselves, calmed nerves, and gave me a lot of time to have their photos done earlier so that they can enjoy the cocktail hour later.
Brad’s already ready to dance!

Love the accents of the monkey tails on these.

Bill Calhoun = Awesome. That is all…

With our diverse location of many gardens, backgrounds, and props, our photo ideas were endless! Not to mention, even after 14 years, these two lovers are hilarious and oh so playful. Check it out! Their wedding is this Saturday, can’t wait to cover the beginning of their lives together and forever!

Off to Paradise

Posted in Weddings

Hannah and Louie got married under the jungle trees of the beautiful Bahia right off San Diego’s waters. This ceremony was a little different from the typical because they decided to combine both the  Vietnamese tea ceremony and western ceremony into one to keep things sweetly simple. I love that!! It was another amazing day to witness. Louie and his two daughters now have a wonderful Mother to complete the family. Everyone was beaming with happiness for all of them. And Hannah and Louie were extremely hip, classy, and groovy to work with! I love my clients, they even climbed trees for my photos =)

Kisses!

The cake looked too perfected, I thought it was plastic at first glance

Yes… this is exactly how I want my man to protect me 😛

This was probably one of the funniest Grand Entrances, She fished in her groom for dinner!

Louie’s daughters put their heads together and delivered an adorable speech for their New mom and Dad aka “God’s given gift to women!”

Told you… Groovy!

Wedding games are so intense now-a-days, especially when it involves a starbucks gift card.

Going to end this post on this sweet note…. =)

Got an angel, she doesn’t wear wings

Posted in Weddings

I’m so happy to be blogging today on my friends Sannara & Ron. I knew Sannara since we were in elementary schools and she’s always been one of the nicest, prettiest, smartest, and classiest girl our classes. But one thing everyone always wondered about was how she’s always single! This remained unanswered, until Ron came into the picture. He caught her eye with his gentle charm and she became his angel. The rest is history. The got married at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel overlooking Downtown. It was a sunny day with cool breezes hitting palm trees. Sannara walked down the isle to Jack Johnson’s “Angel” and I cried. haha, anyways, they’re gonna make some cute babies!

She belongs in a magazine!

Moments before the ceremony, going down the elevator, “This is it”

Parents are so proud
Just Married!
