SmogShoppe Wedding | Culver City Hotel: Glenn + Melissa
November 30, 2011 | Filed Under weddings | Leave a Comment
It was my first time to be in the Culver City Hotel. Oozing with old Hollywood charm and mystery…it was the perfect backdrop for Melissa’s prep shots. I just recently learned that in 1997, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places ; where Wizard of Oz and Gone with Wind were filmed in 1939.
Melissa was radiant on her off-shoulder Vera Wang gown. She looked fabulous!
I enjoyed the photo session with Glenn and his groomsmen. Nothing beats a bond formed out of growing up as classmates and friends during the childhood years. Their camaraderie certainly helped achieve an easy and fun photo session.
Congratulations Glenn and Melissa!
Thanks to Mark G, for second shooting.

Fantasea Wedding | Marriot Marina del Rey: James + Dalene
November 24, 2011 | Filed Under weddings | Leave a Comment
James and Dalene planned to elope in Las Vegas. They decided otherwise and thought it was best to share their happiest moment with friends and family.
I’m glad that they decided to go through with the wedding. They really pulled it off given the few months of preparation.
I love the details and props that they prepared to make their wedding more ‘personal’. Their invites were made to look like luxury cruise tickets, which was a very nice touch. Dalene looked elegant on her wedding dress and her stunning Valentino shoes showed off a quirky nature. “Teddy,” their ever supportive dog, was adorable on his tux. To spice up the ceremony procession, the bridesmaids did ballet leaps and pirouettes. At the end of the night after the Yacht has docked, everyone capped the evening off with a late night grub on a food truck.
Congratulations James and Dalene!
Thanks to Remedy Medina for second shooting, it was nice working with you again!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Vince
