Haleh + Ramin

Posted on August 18th, 2008 by Apertura. Filed in wedding. 

img_0555.jpg

Ojai, CA - We do love being honorary Persians! Haleh + Ramin was super upbeat and they are just fueling each other’s positive energy. They are friends of our previous clients and it was awesome meeting everyone again. The gorgeous Casa Elar of Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is the location of the wedding and it was just amazing. Filled with their closest family and friends, the wedding was a blast! Such a blast that security had to come to quiet things down a bit towards the end. Which the party did, only until the security left :)

Jessica + Wilson

Posted on August 11th, 2008 by Apertura. Filed in wedding. 

img_0321.jpg

Pasadena, CA - Jessica + Wilson were all smiles from the get go. They’re so amazingly happy together that it made us feel warm and fuzzy too. The wedding took place at the Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa, Pasadena but we roamed around town to do their portraits before the beautiful ceremony. An awesome 12-piece band entertained the guests (and us!) during the reception and Ben & Jerry’s were served at the end of the night.

Coordinator: Stephanie Anderson
Dress: Pronovias
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman
Flowers: Duran’s Flowers
Band: Leonard Neil Orchestra
Cake: Rosebud Cake

Wow such a beautiful wedding. The bride is tooo cute! And that ring shot is the BEST!

Brie-Ann Aug 16th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

I love the slideshow! It really captures the night just like all of the pictures do and I am so grateful to have something that is really representative of our wedding. It’s so bittersweet that the wedding is all over but having these pictures that we will have forever makes it so nice to look back on…. Thank you Ray and Erwin for everything - I truly couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture our day and be so fun and easy to work with. Rick and I felt so fortunate to have you there……

Dian + Stephen: Unity Portrait

Posted on August 6th, 2008 by Erwin. Filed in portrait, engagement. 

img_7152.jpg

Los Angeles, CA: I had known Stephen from church and met Dian when she came over to LA a couple of times. These guys are such cool people - I was flattered and excited about taking their pictures. We had so much fun getting kicked out of the Grand Central Market, the LA Financial District, but managed to shoot at The Historic Bradbury Building and Pershing Square. Fun times indeed! Congrats Dian + Stephen!

Seriously beautiful images! I’m a new — but permanent — blog stalker of yours, by the way. I love your work!

Steve Aug 6th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Erwin you are amazing.

matt haines Aug 6th, 2008 at 9:58 pm

i love the use of ‘extras’ in some of the shots! did they pose themselves, or did you have to grease their palms a little to stand in the right spot? very creative.

stephen basuki Aug 6th, 2008 at 10:40 pm

erwin! you’re my idol! your composition is awesome!

Heather Aug 6th, 2008 at 11:02 pm

Oh wow these are more than incredible!! WOW!!!!! :)
