2009 | In Weddings, by Ray

Taliah + Daniel got married in Malibu in front of 20 of their closest friends and family. I was privileged to be part of it. It was a perfectly glorious day and I got to enjoy Danny’s mom delicious home-cooked Mexican feast!

Mami + Shintaro 06/18/2009 | In Weddings, by Erwin

I haven’t really met Mami + Shintaro previously, only through some phone conversatiions. As soon as we met each other, I know that I love these people. they are super nice, and their family and friends were awesome! Too bad I don’t understand much Japanese, but I can just see that they were having a blast being with each other.

They did an amazing job with the details and luckily I brought Ray who helped me with a lot of the detail shots. Did I mention fashion-wise, these people are superb! :)

Venue: Darlington House, La Jolla
All Things Beautiful: Embellishmint Floral & Event Design Studio
Catering: ChileCo Catering
Dress: Raimond Bundo Novias
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik
