Steven Lam Photography Featured on Murphy Fitness

Yupe, that's Eva Longoria






We feel so blessed and honored to be featured on Murphy Fitness Blog about our wedding photography. Murphy Fitness is a super dynamic duo husband and wife team run by Patrick and Dee Murphy. This fabulous couple was also a client of ours back in Sept 2005. We had a blast helping the Murphys capture their big day at Laguna Cliff Marriot Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach, California. Their wedding day was filled with lots of excitement and emotions sprinkled with lots of laughter from family and friends to help seal the deal for this cheerful and delightful union. Like that was not enough excitement, uber sexy Eva Longoria (one of their guest pictured on the third photo above in the all girl group shot) was chased by bandits of paparazzi all the way from LAX to the hotel causing a whole lot of ruckus in OC that day.

Murphy Fitness has been featured nationwide both on television and editorial coverage like Extra, Glamour Magazine, Fitness Magazine, Woman's World Magazine and InStyle Magazine. But Patrick is too humble to brag about it. When you meet Patrick he is more in tune with meeting your goals than bragging about their impressive list of celebrity clientele. This is why Murphy Fitness can help the next bride-to-be get in shape with a healthy routine made just for her.

Shvona + Ted

We wanted to share a couple of photos from Shvona and Ted's gorgeous wedding in Malibu. It was a star studded intimate beach wedding with guests like John Legend (yupe the singer) and Lisa Ling to name a few. We even had the pleasure of hearing John Lengend sing for the couple's first dance, what a treat that was. Even Snoop Dogg who was on tour had a surprise video message for the newlywed. We wanted to respect and protect our client's privacy so we will not be showing any of the photos online with the exception of these images. We would be more than happy to share the images with you during our consultation at our studio. Enjoy.

LAUREN + GEORGE

Happy Holidays everyone! As a treat, we will be highlighting some of our favorite wedding photos from 2009.

We will be featuring one couple a week til end of 2009. In the event we get lucky with some extra help from Santa's helper, we might even upload a bonus

feature or two during a week.

Now a bit about Lauren and George. L+G is one of the cutest and classiest couples we've photographed. L+G had a catholic ceremony and

their reception was at The Portofino Hotel and Yatch Club in Redondo Beach. We had a blast shooting their photos around the premise

and on the beach. The day was perfect, sunny and warm. The conditions could not have been better.

We were totally blessed and wanted to share these two images with you all. Cheers!

Bike Wedding

We have some exciting news to share with everyone. We have been asked to be the exclusive photographers for Rose Pedals Bike Weddings! We are thrilled to be a part of this amazing green wedding concept. What's not to love? Biking on the beach, the golden warm sun, the soothing sounds of the ocean! These are amongst the top reasons to have a bike wedding, not to mention the low impact carbon footprint associated with biking. So it was an obvious choice and a no brainer to accept Elizabeth Oakes invitation to join her pioneer bike wedding concept. Elizabeth is not a newbie to the wedding scene, in fact, she has conducted thousands of weddings: from celebrity nuptials to backyard and beach elopements, grand soirees to courthouse ceremonies. She has been dubbed "The Love Lady" by the locals. Is it legal? Absolutely. It is fun? Duh!!

Now, the fun part begins...Jason and Erica were our guinea pig bride and groom along with their super cute three-year-old son Winston who served as their witness, yippie! It was meant to be for the E+J to get married by the beach near their cruisers on the Venice Beach canals. They trek at least three times a week from the Inland Empire just to ride the bike trail that runs from Santa Monica to Manhattan beach! If this isn't love I don't know what is and they love each other as well!

After the ceremony, we all rode over to the Venice Beach boardwalk for some fun photos of the adventurous couple. The greatest thing was seeing people cheer as the entourage rode on Washington Blvd. We all had a blast and we could have not asked for a better couple to premier Rose Pedals Bike Weddings. Thanks to Jason Erica, little Winston and Elizabeth for sharing this fun, eco friendly wedding with us and keeping our planet green!!


Thank you Erica, Jason and Winston for an amazing bike wedding shoot. We love ya!

Judy + Johnny Jamaica Wedding

Okay folks, we've finally had a chance to settle down in our new studio and we have the perfect wedding to feature as our first blog from our new studio...Judy and Johnny's Jamaica wedding.  A little back story about JJ square fabulous wedding, ready? here goes. J+J's wedding was originally set for the Riviera Maya in Mexico but with two weeks to go to the I do's, the couple decided to move the wedding location to Montego Bay, Jamaica due to the whole swine flu thing.  The amazing part is all 40 guests were able to switched their flight arrangements from Mexico to Jamaica in a heartbeat. The wedding ceremony was gorgeous and we could not ask for a better location. Of course, it's monsoon season in Jamaica so there was an hour delay prior to the ceremony due to rain. But when the rain stopped, the beautiful puffy clouds and blue skies reappeared for a picture perfect backdrop...yah! The beautiful location and the amazing warm weather set the perfect tone for these New Yorkers to get the  party jumpin' in no time. We had alot of fun and was honored to be Judy and Johnny's wedding photographer.
