    Portland Oregon LDS Temple Wedding {Yunwoo+Brian}

    August 23, 2014

    Portland Oregon is such a beautiful city for a wedding. I photographed Yunwoo and Brian’s wedding at the Portland LDS Temple over the summer. The day was absolutely perfect. Oregon might be better known for it rainy days but this wedding day was full of sunshine and smiles. Yunwoo’s Family traveled from Asia to be at the wedding while Brian is from Portland. The traditional asian wedding dress Yunwoo wore for some of the photos was beautiful. I had a great time photographing them around the LDS Temple grounds as well as the Pittock Mansion in Portland. The grounds around the Pittock…

    Garden Park Ward Engagement (Sarah + Leslie)

    April 20, 2011

    I had the opportunity to go to Salt Lake City to photograph Sarah and Leslie’s Engagement session at the Garden Park Ward in Sugarhouse. This building and its landscape are so unique and beautiful. Beautiful architecture, gardens, and water features make it the perfect wedding and photography spot. There are amazing ponds and waterfalls along with great architecture from the early 1920’s. Sarah and Leslie were a great couple to work with. Botha  lot of fun, and very much in love!

    Los Angeles Wedding (daisy and Andy)

    September 13, 2010

    From start to finish I had such a great time with Daisy and Andy. You might remember their engagements from a few months back on the blog. They were super fun then, and were even more in love on their wedding day. I loved Daisy’s  red Chinese dress, along with her traditional white one. We had a blast running all around town, getting great photos.
