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.

Looking back at 2009, looking forward to 2010 weddings
February 19, 2010Ryan and Cristina (updated) – Etiwanda Gardens Wedding Photographer
October 31, 2009Now 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.

Cristina and her father, as the doors open

I’d say he looks happy to see her, wouldn’t you?

Here’s the scene

Cristina’s ring was beautiful. I also have to give props to Ryan, his was pretty neat as well.

Show us those pearly whites…

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!

Ki Yong and Carolyn- Pae Baek Wedding Ceremony
June 29, 2009We’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.

Ki Yong and Carolyn Wedding preview
June 16, 2009What 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!

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.
