Embroidery Props!

Our studio just received a sweet and heartfelt compliment from Danielle + Derek and we wanted to share this with everyone:

"Steven & Carmen

Derek and I are loving the pictures from our July wedding - you guys did an exquisite job. I was actually inspired by one of the photos you took to embroider a cover for our album. I belong to the Southern California chapter of the Embroiderer's Guild of America (long name, I know) and we're putting some of our work in a display at the Pasadena library for the month of February."

How awesome is this? We always knew we have the best clients in the world but this totally proves how creative and talented our clients are. This embroidery master piece took Danielle twelve hours to create, no small feat folks. We have also included the original image captured by Carmen Lam. Mahalo!

Malibu Sunset Wedding

We wanted to share one of our favorite images from Jasmine and Paul's fabulous sunset wedding in Malibu California. The details of the two glasses of wine, salt and bread is a part of the Lithuanian wedding tradition. The couple will drink and eat the salt and bread upon entering the reception hall. A symbol of joy, tears, and work representing the three elements of a life together. Cheers!

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.

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.
