Pastor Billy is finally married. Praise the Lord! Their wedding was really fun the reception site looked awesome. I especially liked the best man speech from Mike Kim (who recently got married himself)

I was with Billy and Susie the whole day and they looked really happy. A lot of couples tend to stress out a bit but these two were as cool as cucumbers. (eating a Subway sub right now with extra cucumbers; delicious!)

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy these pictures. All portraits were done at Walt Disney Concert Hall and Cerritos Library Sculpture Garden.

Billy and Susie’s shoot was one of the most memorable. He hasn’t officially proposed to her so he came up with a plan to surprise her during our engagement session.

Billy made her a slideshow and distracted her by having her watch it on his IPAD. While she was watching, he had flowers and more importantly, a ring prepared and waited for the slideshow to finish.

Loved her reaction! Susie is a girl who smiles all day long but by far it was her biggest smile yet!

Can’t wait to shoot your wedding in couple weeks! Congrats again!

Happy New Years! Firs post of the new year will start with a bang!
My good friends Mike and Steph got married back in November of 2011.

Like I mentioned on their first post, Mike and I go way back when Power Rangers and WWF was cool.  I’m really happy for my friend that he met someone as awesome as Steph. Can’t wait for you guys to have kids. They are gonna be baby models!

Ceremony // Reception at the Summit House Restaurant in Fullerton.
Best costumer service and friendliest staff I’ve worked with.

Special thanks to Joyce Loo for shooting with me. Loved her details and all the moments I was unable to cover.

Just want to thank all of you who made my 2011 special. I am still amazed how fast the year flew by. I did 59 shoots in 2011 (that’s 28 more shoots more than 2010 for those counting at home)  I feel fortunate to be able to call my clients friends and to have met wonderful people. Looking forward to new experiences and the upcoming shoots I have scheduled for this year. God bless!

It was really fun hanging out with Joanne and Sam. These two are hilarious and cracked me up all day!

Looking forward to shooting your wedding in January. Woop woop!

Also, big thanks to Boffo Video for the awesome review! Here is what Paul, the super talented videographer said,

Perpixel’s creativity not only has convinced brides to avail of their services but has also inspired other artists such as us to create and update! Their style is very fresh and continues to evolve. A mixture of timelessness in their photographs and the mastery of their craft has made Perpixel Photography a staple in the industry.

Had Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for the first time. It was amazing. I wish they opened one up in Orange County. I would live there.

Hope everyone had a thankful thanksgiving weekend!
So much to be thankful for but mostly for my family and friends who are always there for me.

Several weeks back, I got to photograph Christina and Josh’s big day. I love how they love each other! Starting from their engagement session, I liked how much affection Josh shows Christina. It was a day full of fun moments and touching moments; especially when Christina shared a special dance with her mother.

Congrats to the happy couple!!

BEST. FIRST DANCE. EVER.

Michael Jackson would be proud of the way Cynthia and David danced their first dance to his music. I think it was a wonderful surprise to everyone there and it set the mood for the night.

That first dance is a great example of who they are. Fun loving, quirky and absolutely stylish! Check out their engagement photos and you will know exactly what I’m talking about. I am really glad I got to meet such wonderful people and have been a part of their big day.

The ceremony and reception was held at my favorite venue, Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton CA. Colette’s did an excellent job and as always, service was top notch!

The unique flowers and arrangements done by Samantha of Primary Petals. Seriously loved the little details you put into your arrangements.
Thanks to Kayte Rose for shooting with me and thanks to Christina Jungle-women for shooting film. Love the shot of the reception tents, good work!

Family, friends, tears and laughter makes a wedding great. Sandra and Vio’s wedding had all of the above.

Vio shared a romantic poem during the ceremony and it put everyone to tears. It was really touching and everyone in the ceremony knew that Vio loved Sandra unconditionally.

It was a pleasure to meet this wonderful couple and to be a part of their happiest day.
Another big congrats to you two! You guys are beautiful together!

Loved all the cool details at Sam and Eunice’s wedding. The bridesmaids all had personalized hangers, center pieces/flowers looked great and they even made their own photobooth. It was impressive that they put together all the little details while accommodating 800+ people!

Eunice and Sam was glowing with excitement throughout the day and they looked like superstars.

Congrats to two amazing people that are perfect for each other. God bless you and your marriage!

Congrats once again!

Come say hello!

Couple weeks ago I shot Nicole and Brian’s wedding. It was a perfect mixture of a beautiful, traditional catholic wedding with a fun, modern one. The couple was glowing all day and both looked stunning. Loved their color choice of purple and yellow.

The mass/ceremony was held at Immaculate Conception in Monrovia. The reception was at the famous Lindley Scott House in Asuza. Love this venue! The yellow, historic house was a great backdrop and complimented their colors very well.

The band Soul Tones rocked the house. They sounded really good and they got everybody dancing. A shout out to their drummer Diego. You rocked.

A big thanks to Astrid for 2nd shooting for me!
