Meet Kimberly and Michael, a match made straight from… Match.com! And oh gosh, how peeeerfect they are for one another. He was brought up as a proper gentleman who takes pride in his Taiwanese background and family. And then there’s bubbly Kimberly who spent time living in China, learning and falling in love with the culture and language. When they’re together, I can’t help but imagine a high pitch, heavenly, “Wahhhh”. She brings out cute colors into Michael’s life and he’s the one who’ll protect and stand by her side forever. It was gorgeous Winter/Chinese themed wedding in Venice, California. As much as I love San Diego, it’s always nice to have a change of scenery. Special thanks to Stephanie Fong Photography for joining force with me on this one! We ended up with so many good ones so get ready for a long post =D

Her parents reaction to seeing their daughter as a bride was speechless and stunned. They opt for a First Look. It was intimate and their eyes were full of excitement. No more nerves and best part for me: we gained plenty time for portraits before the ceremony!
Stephanie and I had a lot of fun with this beautiful morning light peaking out over the hills. =)
#1 Perk of having two photographers: amazing different perspectives! They had a children choir at there ceremony! Their youthful, innocent, and beautiful harmonies gave everyone goosebumps and chills.  They both had to make speeches for each other, how cuteeee Right after Church, the sun was already starting to set into the overcast, but I was able to steal them away for some quick portraits at Venice Canals. Stephanie and I got all these photos done in 20 minutes and it was nearly dark by then, not bad eh? I’m so glad we were able to pull it off and end up with some beautiful Just Married portraits for them.  Kim: “Can we do a fobby picture?!” haha I adore her and obviously, so does Michael =) I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped when I walked into their reception.
Kim is a teacher so how clever it was that they decided to labeled all their tables this way. Love their cake. YUM
These homemade center pieces really brought the room together, aren’t they gorgeous? Reception lighting is a very important factor to consider because it makes such a huge difference in photos. The dances were just magical.

I really enjoyed this one, congratulations to the Newly Weds =)
