Kee & Gloria | Calvary Church | Eisenhower Park | Cosmic Bowling | Santa Ana | Wedding

Kee and Gloria would win any smiling competition.  They would probably win the I'm so happy competition as well.  I thought they would also wipe the floor in their own bowling competition, but it happened that Kee took that too literally.  (more on that below)  Good times. 

 Kee + Gloria + wedding = relaxing times.  Kee and Gloria we just want to say thank you.  Seeing my college bud getting married and being able to shoot it was something else. 

 

 The weather was pretty unpredictable leading up to the wedding so they had to move the reception indoors.  We were lucky enough to have sun peaking through gorgeous clouds the whole day and no rain!

I remember thinking, "Man, I hope I laugh this much when I get married."

We rolled to nearby Eisenhower Park in the City of Orange.

Kee remembered that we had them pose around a lot of trees during their engagement shoot, so when we were walking around he kept asking if we wanted to see "the roots".  We thought he meant little dinky trees with muddy roots.  ha.

Our friend Joseph, the bi-lingual MC, working the crowd.  He thought he bombed, but . . . well yeah some jokes fell through the cracks, but he came through like a champ and delivered some killer lines.  Good job Jo!Gloria_Kee_blog-16.JPG

Taken on the ice sculpture.  Anyone want to guess how this shot was lit?

Sarah & Amritz | Westminster Presbyterian Church | Rococo Room | Pasadena | Wedding

When Iris told Sarah and Amritz about our photography, they became fans of our stuff.  After hanging out with this ridiculously awesomely coolest couple, we're more a fan of them then they are a fan of us now.  I think it might be because they took care of us when we were clueless and cold in the belly of Seattle.  Or because they are so funny and we love to laugh.  Or because they are just that awesome.  If they had a blog, I would be their blog stalker.  Not in a freakish creepy way, but in a very loving way, that some of our blog stalkers do so nicely to us.  

The fact that their friends were jumping at the mic to give candid toasts of them is a small testament to how much they are loved and respected by their friends.  Ok, I better stop this gushing, or it's going to turn into a cheese fest.  Amrtiz promised to take us global like Starbucks.  He works at Microsoft now, so I'm conflicted, since I'm Mac and he's PC.  But that's ok, we all bonded heavily during their Cambodian ceremony, which will be a forthcoming part deux blog post. 

Sarah looking gorgeous and thinking about Amritz.

So this group shot wasn't staged at all.  We'd never do that, of course.  We're photojournalists.Sarah_Amritz-1117%20copy.jpg

This is how they warmed up before every shot.  Cool bouquet shot.
