R & C Wedding {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

April 26, 2014 is a special day for my brother and his new wife!
They were married and sealed for eternity in the Los Angeles LDS Temple in Santa Monica.  They had SO much support and love from friends and family.

It was a treat to photograph this special day for them, even though I was almost 34 weeks pregnant and larger than life!!! LOL.  I'm normally a sucker for black and white wedding photos I couldn't give up the colors with these ones.
I am so happy for this sweet couple and can't wait to see how their future together unfolds : ) 

 A sweet ending to an amazing day!!!

R & C Engagement Part II {Santa Clarita Valencia 91355 Wedding Photographer}

Sooooo shoot #1 was for their wedding invitation and to have some pictures of them to display at the reception...this shoot was to show off their fancy traditional Chinese outfits. My Brother's Fiance is from China, and had these made for them there.  Only the best!!!  

Growing up in Santa Clarita, I've never really seen or known about traditional Chinese weddings, so it was really cool to learn more about it.  Red and Gold are a timeless tradition, and made for a beautiful dress for the bride-to-be.  

Here are a few of my faves from the shoot:

The Wedding images are up next : )

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy New Year!  I have memories of celebrating this holiday pretty regularly growing up, being that I am half Chinese.  My mom always had friends that threw a party with lots of food and people.  Not crazy exciting for me as a kid at the time.  But my brothers and I always went willingly.  Why, you may ask?  Everyone gives each other red envelopes filled with LUCKY MONEY.  Yup.  Every time I saw one of those red puppies I knew it could only be good.  Even if it was a dollar.  But more often than not it was a lot more than a dollar.  How cool is that?  I think the U.S. needs to start a holiday like that one.  Or multiple holidays like that one.  You really can't go wrong.....

 And since we are somewhat on the subject of my mom, I really think I'm going to have posts exclusively geared towards her somehow each week.  She's hilarious, has more energy than my 3 year old, always has advice to give, and can talk to anyone anywhere.  She's awesome and needs to be heard out here in cyberspace!!!  Plus this lady can cook!  I'm pretty sure she's gonna take this blog to a whole new level : )  

Oh and here's my daughter.  She's turning into quite the model.  This was all my mom's idea, mind you.  However, when I was trying to coach her on how to pose she said, "Mom!  I will do it by myself!"  So, there you have it.
