Queen Mary, Long Beach Wedding

Monique and Beto's wedding.This wedding had a very classic look. It started with a ceremony at Mary Star of the Sea in San Pedro. The bride you see here had a long flowing train, and a cathedral veil.

Of course, what more perfect place to hold the reception for this couple, than the Queen Mary?


While both of us can't stand how dark the lighting is, we have to admit it was a beautiful reception. There is something about the history of the old ship and the feeling you get when walking through the halls that Julia likes.

Glendate Hilton Wedding

Ah, Diana and Ben's wedding. Undoubtedly, one of the sweetest couples we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Not only were they so genuine and nice, both the families were also some of the kindest and most considerate people we've ever worked with!

This was one of the longest weddings we've done in a while, but the day went by pretty flawlessly. They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Genevieve's in Burbank, followed by a reception at the Glendale Hilton. We have to say, the service from the Glendale Hilton staff was pretty good.

Here is the couple posing for photos on the helipad...


Congratulations, Ben and Diana! We wish you all the best! Go Lakers! :D

Embassy Suites LAX Wedding

Portofino wedding, Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach Engagement Photo

Yolanda and Jimmy's engagement shoot went prety well. We were worried about the weather because we had to postpone it because of bad weather, and it was still a little bit cloudy in the morning. But as you can see, it turned out to be a beautiful day!
This photo was taken in front of a mural at the Veteran's Park in Redondo Beach. One of our favorite places for engagement shoots.
We are looking forward to their wedding. Only a couple of weeks away!

Manhattan Beach Engagement Photo

Brandi and George's engagement shoot was like no other we've ever done before. We have never been at the beach on such a crazy windy day! Poor Brandi was in a strapless linen dress, and was freezing! We could barely keep our eyes open, and by the end of the shoot, Julia was deaf from the sound of the wind blowing in her ears...
You would never know if from the photos, though... They were truly great, great sports!



We really couldn't have asked for more cooperative and willing people to shoot! Thanks, Brandi and George! We hope you have recovered from it! :)

Aileen and Matt's Wedding

We were back the Reef once again, this time for Matt and Aileen's wedding. We've always liked this location for weddings. We get a nice variety of shots, and the Long Beach skyline is a great background both day and night.

This was one of our more last minute bookings, so we didn't get to meet Aileen until the day of the wedding! But we worked well together, and the wedding was very nice.



As you can see, Matt's a jokester, as were a lot of their family and friends. This made the small and intimate affair very fun, though!

Congratulations, Matt and Aileen, we wish you guys all the best!

Visit California Party at House of Blue, Hollywood

Here is Sir Richard Branson at a Virgin Australia brunch organized by the California and Travel Tourism Commission . It was held at the House of Blues in Hollywood. Fresh omelettes were being made at the brunch. Yumm...


These people from the California Travel and Tourism Commission really know how to organize and plan a party! Everyone had a great time, and Julia really liked the entertainment.
They even had an oxygen bar!
Our thanks to Sue Coyle and Sommer McCormick for having us. We had a great time, and we look forward to working with you guys again in April!

The Hummus Factory - El Segundo, CA

We got a call from one of the owners of the Hummus Factory in El Segundo to take photos of some of their dishes. The name immediately caught Julia's interest, of course.
They were all very nice at the Hummus Factory, and all the dishes looked great! Bob was very generous and kept offering the food for us to take home.

We did end up going back a couple of days later before a 4 hour drive to Vegas. We wanted to buy some of their hummus and pita, but they very generously insisted on giving us two orders for free. Thanks, Mike and Bob! It was really good, and it really made our 4 hour drive to Vegas more bearable.

If you guys are looking for fresh, good and reasonably priced food, here is their address:
