Spanish Wedding Photography | Patty & Jose Married at Private Estate Rancho Providencia - Los Angeles, CA

It's not often we hear of a venue change so close to the wedding date, so when Patty asked our opinion of Rancho Providencia as far as photos were concerned, we told her it was the perfect place as it held a lot of charm and would give a unique feel to their wedding. Patty and Jose wanted a (in there words) "Mexican Rustic" wedding and we'd have to say that it looks like they pulled it off. 

Along with the unique appeal of the Spanish hacienda setting and the addition of the individual details by Patty and her girls', their wedding day was as intimate as can be.

To top it off the reception was al fresco with string lights along the dirt road providing the warm, ambient light. It was truly a beautiful day to celebrate one of the most beautiful weddings we've been asked to be a part of so far!

We're so excited for Patty and Jose to see you guys so happy and in love! From Gina and I, much love and happiness to you guys!

Four Seasons Westlake Village Wedding Photography | Ollvy & David

A few weeks ago, we had the honor of photographing Ollvy & David's wedding at the Four Seasons in Westlake Village and they could not have picked a better day.  

With our friend Bryan Alano shooting video, we were asked to help out on the photography side and we couldn't be more happier for Ollvy and David as their love for each other was definitely evident between them. 

Congrats again to you guys and we wish you a lifetime full of love and happiness!

Pasadena CA Wedding & Reception Venue | Storrier-Stearns Japanese Garden

A few weeks ago we had the honor of shooting an event for ABC-GLA which was held at the beautiful and serene Storrier Stearns - Japanese Gardens in Pasadena. 

The garden is nestled in the quiet neighborhood of South Pasadena, and has recently been reopened after its restoration by the famed Takeo Uesugi, professor emeritus of landscape design at Cal-Poly Pomona and one of the leading experts on Japanese garden design which included rebuilding the teahouse. 

The gardens are now available for events such as wedding ceremony locations and receptions. 

You can contact Deanie at the garden as she would love to give you more info on holding your wedding here. You can email her at: info@japanesegardenpasadena.com
