Kudos from our client on Instagram

Kudos from our client Danielle + Derek on Instagram today:

"4 years ago today, Derek and I got married in the backyard of a historic house in Oahu, just feet away from the ocean. We had 22 guests, an acoustic guitarist, and two photographers we liked so much we flew them from LA to be there. It was the most relaxed wedding I have ever been to, and without a doubt, the happiest day of my life. Happy Anniversary, my love :-) (Photo by the incomparable @stevenlamphotography)"

This is the reason why we love photographing weddings. It's not just a job. We love what we do because we know years from now, our wedding couples will have a blast looking back at their beautiful and timeless moments we've help captured on their wedding day.

Happy Anniversary to the sweetest couple Danielle + Derek. Mahalo.


P.S. Danielle is also an amazing embroider. Click here to see her what she did for her wedding album cover.

Jessica + Jamie's Costa Rica Tropical Wedding

Spring has just arrived and we wanted to share Jessica + Jamie's gorgeous Costa Rica wedding with everyone. We had the pleasure of spending a week with everyone in the wonderful and remote surf-friendly town of Playa Grande. The weather was amazing! This place is absolutely magical and mother nature blessed this wedding with the most perfect weather and lighting allowing us to capture J+J's memorable moments. Pura Vida!

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.

Breanne + Andrew's Riviera Maya Wedding Feature on Australia's Cosmopolitan Bride

We are so happy to find out Breanne + Andrew's wedding just got featured in Australia's Cosmopolitan Bride.

When we got our initial email from Australia's celebrity/TV presenter Breanne Bergs inquiring about our wedding services, we had no idea what we got ourselves into. As we started to talk more with Breanne via email of course, we got really excited about her wedding visions. Starting with the intimate wedding location at Al Cielo and with an intimate guests list consisting of just their closest friends and family member, we knew this event was going to be an extraordinary wedding event with it's low key setting yet gorgeously done up. We had a blast shooting B+A's wedding in the Riviera Maya locale. The caribbean water was the perfect backdrop for the wedding shoot and the images was brilliant!
