Jason & Merry // Castle Green wedding photographer

Our wedding day went by very fast, but we both definitely felt the love from not only one another, but everyone who shared our day with us! Even though we were both nervous to have the spot light and focus on us (silly bc it was our wedding day), it was very special to share our big day with all of our loved ones.

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE/FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DAY? // The ceremony when we officially became husband and wife. It was extra special since Merry’s older brother Arthur officiated the wedding.

WHY WAS PHOTOGRAPHY IMPORTANT TO YOU? // Photography was important to us because it captured the raw and memorable moments of the day, which we will be able to relive and cherish for years to come! We chose Sun & Sparrow because we loved their positivity, charisma, and professionalism. Tiffani & Ellie made us feel so comfortable when taking our photos and also showed they really cared to capture the best moments for our photos.

DID YOU DO ANY DIY PROJECTS? // With help of friends, cake topper, printed guest name cards, table numbers.

WHAT WAS YOUR SOMETHING OLD // (Hair piece given as previous bridesmaid gift), NEW // (diamond earrings and necklace from Jason’s parents), BORROWED // (ring pillow), BLUE // (bow on garter belt)

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR BRIDES WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PLANNING PROCESS? // My best advice is to prioritize what’s important to you and your future spouse, compromise, and try not to sweat the little stuff! Then, enjoy! Because at the end of the day, the most important part of getting married is having a partner for life!

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW AND TELL JASON & MERRY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM!

Jason & Merry // Romantic & Rainy engagement in Culver City

How We Met // The first time Jason and Merry met was early September 2010 through their awesome friend Sherry Pham. Merry knew Sherry from pharmacy school (they were in the same fraternity) and most recently had gotten closer through work at Kaiser Woodland Hills. Sherry and Jason were high school homies. After work on one Friday night, Sherry invited Merry out to go kick it to celebrate her friend’s birthday. They went to grab dinner with some of Sherry’s friends (Jason was in that group) first at Honey Kettle Fried Chicken in Culver City. When Merry first saw Jason, she admits she throught he was cute, but didn’t think much more into it. Little did Jason know, his dreams were very soon going to come true. The Honey Kettle Fried Chicken group (Sherry, Merry, Pearl, Andy, and Jason) headed to Rush Street for the birthday bash, where Jason and Merry started talking more and totally clicked. =) The spark ignited, shortly after they started dating and became official, and the rest is history. Fast forward to 3+ years later, Jason and Merry are each other’s true love, best friend, and soon to be partner for life. =)

Our proposal // On September 13, 2013, Jason and Merry headed to Santa Barbara for a weekend getaway to celebrate their 3-year anniversary. Their actual anniversary date was on September 10. They arrived in Santa Barbara on Friday night and decided to check out the night scene of Santa Barbara. When they got back to their hotel, which was a beach front hotel, it was already past midnight. Jason was very insistent that they should go take a stroll on the beach, especially since it was a nice night. They started walking down the beach, arm around one another, with the waves crashing in the background. Then all of a sudden, Jason just drops down on one knee, with no romantic speel, and pops the question: “Babz (our nickname for each other), will you marry me?” Merry was in pure shock and didn’t know what was going on and kept repeating: “Wait, what are you doing? What is going on?” And then once Merry registered what was going on, of course, she started tearing and said “Yes, of course!” The rest of their trip in Santa Barbara entailed a full day with a wine tasting tour, dinner at Bouchon, and just the pure enjoyment of being a newly engaged couple. It was a very momentous and happy occasion that they will always remember…September 14, 2013…the day Jason and Merry got engaged! =)

Daniel & Sherry // Los Angeles Engagement Photographer

OUR PROPOSAL STORY // Daniel & I had been dating for a while. We had gone through years of family holidays, birthdays, anniversaries together. All in fun & in love. On Christmas Eve/Day 2012, Daniel presented me with a bike as a present. Hidden on the bike was a red book titled “100 More Things I Love About Sherry.” This little treasure was a sequel to an original “100 things I love about Sherry,” when we were first dating. I decided I would wait until all the hustle and bustle of opening gifts was over to read the details. Once all the Christmas gifts were opened and family members were either cleaning up the kitchen, watching tv, or taking a dookie in the toilet, I decided to plop on the couch and finally read my book. In the meantime, Daniel was secretly watching me read his “opus.” But since all the family was still over, my niece, Elizabeth, kept distracting him by turning on and off the lights (she was playing with her new light toy). Daniel doesn’t easily get angry, and I wondered why he was so sensitive, but I brushed it off and I just kept on reading. Each page described his love for me in a deeper way. I began to tear up because I knew how far he had fallen from that first book he wrote so many years ago. When I flipped to the final page, it read “She is going to marry me, right?” At that moment, I looked at Daniel and he was on one knee with a beautiful ring. He made a beautiful speech of his love an affection for me, but I was way too nervous to pay attention. After he got up, I jumped to hug him and gave him a PG13 kiss (because family was around), and then my mom asked… “what’s happening?!”

It was the perfect proposal.
OUR ENGAGEMENT PICTURE STORY // Daniel and I wanted an engagement session that reflected our love for Downtown LA and good cocktails. We often times go on random dates to Las Perlas, Cole’s, and Varnish to quell our thirst and thought that these venues would be an awesome backdrop for our photo session. Keeping in mind the Speakeasy theme for our wedding, we decided to extend the idea to convey that “Love is Timeless.” Whether it was having some “prohibition” cocktails in the 1920’s, sharing a root beer float in the 1950’s, or shooting some tequila/mezcal shots in present day, Daniel and I had a blast on our dates, falling in love in each era.
