Beautiful memories of their wedding day from the BRIDE & GROOM:

Morning Of:
Chee: I was anxious and pretty nervous the morning of the wedding. It was only 8am when I woke up and knew it would be a long day. Most importantly, it was a cloudy morning in Santa Monica, so was praying that it’d be sunny by the time of our ceremony and reception.
Phil: I was so excited to get the day going! My back was hurting from a long flight from Hong Kong to LA, so I decided to hit a spa / sauna with a friend of mine who came to the wedding.
First Look:
Chee: I was so excited to see Phil in his tux. He was so happy as a clam as he usually is, and it was nice to be reunited after the long morning getting ready!
Phil: Chee looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. She was so nervous it wouldn’t fit right, but it looked absolutely perfect on her!
Favorite Moment of the Day:
Chee: I loved taking photos on the beach at Nobu right after the ceremony during the cocktail hour. I loved walking on the beach with the beautiful sunset and our wedding party. It was even more memorable because most of the wedding guests were able to see us from the deck above.
Phil: My favorite part of the wedding was 1) Chee walking down the aisle with her mom, and 2) the after-party. Somehow I lost my shirt and was shirt-less during part of the after-party, so you know it was a fun night 🙂 I will always remember our wedding day & after-party!

    Went out looking for the most fairytale location I could find... Did I find it? I will let you decide. 

I was at a BVD appt when I met the receptionist there. Helen was the sweetest, most fun, and most personable receptionist who made me feel so comfortable and joyful to be at one of the most benign places... the eye doctor. She made the place fun and festive... so when she mentioned she was engaged, I had to throw my work at her. She immediately felt connected to Sun and Sparrow as much as I felt connected to her, and it was a match made in.... wonderland!

 This girl is a fairytale dream... and this might be my most fairytale session yet.

    When C&D told me that their venue had a catastrophe and they had to completely change their plans, we all stood stunned. 

But not too long after they shared the news, they had a new plan. The wedding downsized and took to the road to Cannon Beach, the place where they took their engagement pictures (remember them from last year?!) And the place where they have made so many memories.

First stop was two beach houses, then to Hug Point. Next, we hit the iconic Cannon Beach with haystack rock in the distance, followed by a relaxed park reception. And to top it off, they ended at Capricorn Pub, a place where they could fully unleash and be their fullest selves with karaoke, pool, and games with their closest people. 

Though it wasn't the day they originally planned, it turned out to be completely stunning... and as C&D said, "maybe it wasn't the plan, but maybe it was meant to be this way all along."

The way they managed to shift, to ride with the twists and turns, and to enjoy each moment fully... they truly took my breath away. AND I have to say, seeing them around their entourage,  their hype crew, it made complete sense to me how they found the truest form of joy all day. This group of people amazed me at every stop and showed up for every moment. 

It was the biggest honor to photograph this wedding and see something so unique and so full of life. I will never forget this day.
