Heidi + Eddie: Long Beach, CA 10/11/2011 | In Weddings, by Apertura



You probably remembered our friends, Heidi + Eddie through our engagement session post awhile back.  These two people are really awesome and can withstand the test of distance.  They met through a mutual friend of theirs back in 2005 during a spontaneous fishing trip and since then they have lived mostly 300 miles apart and saw each other every weekend and still managed to call each other everyday for at least 15 minutes.  Both are drawn into traveling and adventure, and share their love for Indonesian food, which is native to Heidi.

 

Some interesting facts:  Heidi’s mom apparently had designed, and created Heidi’s and her bridesmaids’ dresses.  Not only that, she also created all the flower arrangements (bouquets, and the church decorations).  Her talent has transferred down to Heidi, as she created the boutonnieres for the gents.  The boutonnieres that she made was very personalized – Eddie loves fishing, and if you remember, that is exactly how they met the first time.  The theme for their table place cards at their reception is also really cool – cat characters from cartoons / comics.  This brings back so much memories of our childhood, but to them it’s a deeper meaning, because they have two cats at home that they really love :)



White Lilac did an incredible job (as always) designing the reception location.

Congratulations again Heidi + Eddie!  It was such a pleasure shooting your wedding!

Pasadena Engagement Session: Ivana + Arthur 07/28/2011 | In Engagements, by Apertura

apertura engagement session pasadena california 001 Pasadena Engagement Session: Ivana + Arthur

Things really do happen for a reason.  We met Ivana + Arthur during our search for models for our interview with Voice Of America and we can’t thank them enough for making their time available for us on such short notice.  As we explored the locations around Old Town Pasadena, the shoot was swift and fun – lots of joking around, talking and laughter.  We got to know both of them over dinner and was pleasantly surprised that it was a love at first sight for them when they saw each other.  You don’t hear too much of that anymore these days.  Out of this shoot, we’ve just gained another couple of friends.  Congrats on your upcoming wedding, Ivana + Arthur!   Here are some of our favorite images:
