Elopement Wedding at a Riverside Courthouse - Sarah and Bobby
 

Here is a little glimpse (behind the scenes) of how I'd photograph an elopement of a couple at a courthouse. We spent 1 hour together. And my partner Brett filmed and edited this video.

Sarah started talking about how her mom Monica had to endure the toughest time of her life - when her mother died and then, Sarah "died 4 times" and didn't know she would be able to walk again.

Sarah and Bobby eloped with Sarah’s mom, aunt and granpa, and got married at a Riverside Courthouse, vowing to be with each other forever and ever. I was so fortunate to witness their love.

Some love stories are straight out of a fairytale - others are written with grit, strength, and a radiant smile that defies all odds. Sarah has been battling a rare disease which doctors are still trying to understand, and yet, she radiates more joy than most will in a lifetime.

With the biggest smile and the purest heart, Sarah and Bobby reminded me that love isn't just about finding the right person - it's also about embracing every single moment, no matter how unpredictable the journey.

 


Samesex Wedding in Hancock Park, Los Angeles Wedding - David + Adam
 

David and Adam’s love story is so beautiful and pure to me.

Adam, a lawyer, had never wanted to get married.
Life works mysteriously as there I was, photographing his wedding with David, a wonderful teacher.
They’re a couple who care and worry about others. You’re immediately accepted, too, and if you know someone like them in your life, you’re just so lucky. There was so much love and fun at this wedding in Hancock Park, where Adam once used to live, and was officiated by their two beloved judge friends.

Oh, their wedding rings, by the way, were bought on Amazon.com, and they wear the same ring sizes, so during the wedding ceremony, they simply exchanged each other’s ring that they had been wearing as engagement rings. This was super adorable to me.

 
Los Angeles Wedding, St. Bede the Venerable Church wedding, Odyssey Restaurant wedding - Alessandra and Carlos
 

Alessandra and Carlos originally met in high school as ushers at the Hollywood Bowl. Carols would claim they met the first year they started working there, but Alessandra doesn’t remember meeting him until she was about to go into her first year of college. hehe. They were friends for two years before things got serious. They’re such a fun and relaxed couple, surrounded by wonderful and loving family and friends, and had been in a long distance relationship before marriage while he attended a law school. (SF-LA)

One of the things that touched me the most was how caring Alessandra was; especially when I witnessed her explaining what kind of wedding dress and jewelry she was wearing on her wedding day to her blind grandmother.

Their wedding was at St. Bede the Venerable Church in La Cañada Flintridge, and the reception was at Odyssey Restaurant & Events in Granada Hills.
