Just wanted to plug this thing along:

ISPWP – Best of 2012! 02/27/2013 | In Announcements, Portraits, Weddings, by Erwin
Crystal + George: Indio, CA 02/21/2013 | In Weddings, by Ray
What a wedding to end my year! After have gotten engaged during Coachella, Crystal and George (who came from New Jersey) finally decided on this gem in Indio, CA as their official venue. Estancia de Bougainvillea was an absolute oasis in the middle of the hot desert on the inland empire. The best part is? It’s a private estate where a real party can go on into the wee hours in the morning. I’m beyond blessed to be trusted by Crystal + George, whom I never met until the day of the wedding, and just blend in into their inner circle to shoot what I like to shoot. Again, what a wedding to end a year!!!

7 Degrees wedding: Aimee + Martin 02/17/2013 | In Weddings, by Erwin
Aimee + Martin met over 10 years ago while they were studying in CalPoly San Luis Obispo which includes Aimee being in crutches, meeting Martin through a mutual friend, getting into an argument between the Lakers vs. the good ol’ Sacramento Kings (they were really good back then). Several months after the initial meeting, their friends devised a whole scheme to get them together, and pretty much after that, they are an item. It’s truly amazing to hear how both indicated that they couldn’t have survived without the other. Definitely something really beautiful about their relationship.
Their wedding was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments and smiles all around. Love it.
Thank you to Husin Kesuma and Jessica Pons for shooting / assisting me during this wedding.

Laura + Kyle: Palm Springs, CA 02/06/2013 | In Weddings, by Ray
I love it when a couple really commit to their true selves on the wedding day. From the amazing location at Sinatra’s house (mid-century heaven!), to their wedding day style (beehive do and green dress!), I think everything fits Laura + Kyle to the T.
