I’m starting to get really pumped for the 2010 weddings that await! It all begins next month (unless some crazy last minute bride needs a photographer in the next 9 days…) While I am very excited about the weddings lined up for this year, I don’t want to forget about what a great year 2009 was. Here are links to some of the work I did last year. 
Now presenting… Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Cristina Tirrell! I had such a great time photographing this wedding at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. The venue was serene, and the people were awesome. Enjoy taking a look at some of the images from the day.

The flowers were done wonderfully
And finally, the beautiful bride Cristina, and a portrait of Ryan
This was all they got before the wedding…
They’re taking a break from handing out programs to watch the ceremony.

I’d say he looks happy to see her, wouldn’t you?
Here’s the scene

The kiss…

Relief!
All of the bridesmaids with Cristina
Cristina’s ring was beautiful. I also have to give props to Ryan, his was pretty neat as well.
Show us those pearly whites…
The families!

What a day.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph James and Kristin (Martin) Shook’s wedding over the weekend! I have a lot of photos to work through, but here are a few, just to preview what’s coming!

The wedding party! A lot of Biola flavor here!
We’re back with a few more wedding images from Ki Yong and Carolyn’s wedding at Grace Church of Glendora! I mentioned they also held a traditional pae baek ceremony, and here are some of the images!
Here is the scene
I would rather let Ki Yong and Carolyn do the explaining, so here is the information that was on all the tables at the reception.

What a privilege it was to photograph the wedding of Ki Yong Kim and Carolyn Wallace! Ki Yong is such an amazing man, a leader, and a friend. Carolyn made a stunning bride, and is a wonderful woman for Ki Yong. To be able to share in this day with them is something I will never forget.
I have a lot of work to do in organizing and editing their photos, but I wanted to share just a few quick images that stood out to me. Enjoy, and check back later in the week for a more detailed look at the images from Ki Yong and Carolyn’s wedding. Ki Yong and Carolyn, thank you so much again for being such a pleasure to work with and being such good friends!

Here is the second set of images from Diana and Ryan’s wedding day. As I said before, this was a fun and beautiful day to be a part of. Thanks Diana and Ryan!

Hope you enjoyed some of these images! Some more great weddings to come during the summer, can’t wait!
Working with John to capture moments from Diana and Ryan’s wedding day was spectacular. The wedding took place in Temecula, and it was absolutely beautiful. This will be a two-part blog post as there are many images to share!

Beautiful scene, yes?
Relaxing!
Beautiful smiles

And the bouquet and garter toss.
What a fun day it was. I really enjoyed getting to know Diana and Ryan. They were both calm, excited, and ready. Check back soon for some bride and groom images, perhaps some of my favorite that I have been privileged to take.
