Jennifer and Aaron shared their memorable milestone with the Furious Photographers on the Regent Sea Yacht - a beautiful three tier FantaSea Yacht.

Although Aaron had a rough start in the morning, Jennifer was chirpy as ever :D



Perhaps if Aaron was greeted with some smooches from the cute flower girl, he might have reacted the same way

Trash The Dress

Free Trash The Dress Sessions

"Offering 3 free 'Trash The Dress' sessions!"

Just about everyone is talking about the new buzz word, “Trash the dress” or “TTD.” It is a rather new concept whereas the bride seeks liberation from trashing her wedding dress. Thus far there have been a few reasons floating around why one would trash her wedding dress:

1. To show her husband how committed she is because she will never need it again
2. To trash the reminder of what was considered a stressful day
3. Never need it again – food for moths

Photo by John Cooper

Whatever the justification may be, I am sure brides think it through thoroughly. Although I fancy the idea of taking creative photographs of beautiful brides in their wedding dresses, I still prefer the tradition of donating / re-wearing / re-crafting of wedding dresses. On the contrary, I think it will be rather fun. That is why the Furious Photographers are offering three free “Trash The Dress” sessions for 2008! *Couples are subject to screening.

Just go to our contact page and drop a line saying that you are interested in a "Trash The Dress" session. Please include a link(s) of pictures of yourself in your dress and the location at which you would like to conduct your TTD session. Destination "Trash The Dress" sessions are permitted.

Please spread the word to your family and friends!

Kindest regards from your Los Angeles wedding photographer,

Lawrence

3rd Street Promenade

The happy couple - Angie and Cheston - are UCLA Engineering alumnus. Since they met while studying at UCLA, the school holds a sentimental part in their hearts. We took loads of pictures at UCLA and a few photographs at 3rd Street Promenade. Check it and dig it! :D

Cheston's mockery of the "grandfather pose," which is a long face with no smile.



Boelter Hall in south campus is where Angie and Cheston took the bulk of their classes.

Overall it was a very fun day! The Furious Photographers look forward to their wedding next year.

Anaheim Crowne Wedding Photography

The zesty wedding couple - Ashley and Andy - are USC fanatics. Since the entire Furious Photographers team consists of UCLA alumnus, it was weird to be in a house that had a USC flag, floor mat, blankets, etc. everywhere.



Check out their sweet ride - Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H







Ashley and Andy had a traditional tea ceremony wedding. This consisted of respectful offering of tea to their relatives in exchange for their blessings.



Aside from blessings and well-wishes, they also received gifts - Ashley and Andy displaying their "bling." :D





The wedding party decided to take some wedding pictures at Downtown Disney. As much as they wanted to take wedding photographs, many of them were glued to the big screen television at ESPN Zone because the USC football game was playing. Everyone decided for a quick and painless photo session.









The wedding party stayed to watch the football game while the bride and groom opted for a private session.







A kind Disney lady lent us her balloons!



One last picture to remind them of where they were.



After that, we headed off to the Anaheim Crowne Resort Plaza where they hosted their wedding reception.

(pictures coming soon)

Rosarito Photography

Rosarito Photography

Wedding photographers have to take a break too :D

A good friend of mine, William, asked Julie and I to go to Rosarito last weekend. Having never been there, we consented! We stayed at a beach front house - 4 beds 3 baths. It was awesome! The west side of the house was all glass, which allowed maximum view of the ocean and sunset. My favorite time of the day was the latter - it lent the house a warm yellow glow for a stint. Friends and family all went to Rosarito to celebrate William's sister's birthday - Susan Vong (awesome girl).

Here's a group picture of all of the ladies in Rosarito



Since the patio was connected to the beach and the wind was mild, we sailed kites a lot.





One experience worth noting was horse riding. We made arrangements with the vendor to bring horses to our patio. Riders get to ride along the beach - it was a blast!



After working up an appetite, we had lunch at the world's famous La Fonda of Rosarito Mexico.



The ambrosia was good........



Lorna and her playful character



I decided to take a picture of the scenic view behind La Fonda Cantina



The sunset view from our living room



Helen and Coby (DJ Coby) thought it would be a cool idea to have a romantic sunset photograph. As fast as I tried to get the remote lighting set up, the sun was too quick for me. *glum*



A picture of Julie - one of the photographers :D



A "surprised" portrait of William



Since Coby and William are DJs, it was nice to have someone cranking tunes all day.



When returning home, it was surprising to see how many shacks stood just slightly inland right next to so many beautiful beach front communities. They were no more than half of a mile apart.



On our way back to the states, vendors would sell food and souvenirs along highways and in between street lanes. We were bombarded for the two hours trying to get past the border. The image below shows a vendor under the San Diego highway sign.



The image below shows various vendors selling food and random goods - "Elotes y Vasitos"



An elderly woman and two kids sit along the curb of the highway.



Another elderly woman with a baby strapped to her back and a child standing behind her asking for money.



This was my first time to Rosarito, Mexico. It is truly an eye-opening experience. Overall it was a great vacation. I suggest to everyone to visit Mexico. All you need is your driver's license to drive in and out of the border. A passport is only needed if one flies in.

Signing out,

Lawrence

Christine

Christine is an aspiring model for the fashion industry. We did a quick studio session for her that had a noir theme. Our goal was to tell a story with her clothing.











We are honored to have this beautiful temptress grace our wall. More coming soon this Saturday! We will be photographing three aspiring singers. Woot!

As for me, Julie and I will be going to Baja, Mexico for a destination photography event.

Peace,

City Club Wedding Photography

Janica and Marc Wedding Photography
Downtown Los Angeles
Walt Disney Concert Hall
City Club on Bunker Hill

Janica and Marc (and their entourage) love to be in front of the camera. The entire day, they constantly checked with me, "so how many pictures did we take so far?" When we reached over the the 4,000 mark, they were like "yesss, right on." Overall, their crude humor and knee-slapping laughs made the hours pass too quickly. It was a blast working with this wedding party!

The following are some of their countless wedding photographs that we took during the day. We visited UCLA, the Disney Concert Hall and the Wells Fargo Building where they held their reception on the penthouse floor (54th) called "Bunker Hill." From up above, cars looked like ants.

Additionally, this couple can not part from their "stunna shades." In the limo, Marc exclaimed, "I don't care what we listen to, I just need some gangasta sh#t on! Guys! I'm getting married and all of ya'll are going to party!!!"

Although we were invited to drink Petron with them for breakfast, we must decline.

Their song - Check it out:
Song by: Federation - I Wear My Stunna Shades at Night f/ E-40

By the way, congratulations on your acceptance to UCLA Medical School, Marc! Now we will be neighbors haha

Los Angeles, California

Furious Photographers was given the opportunity to be City Club's suggested vendor for wedding photography. They were very impressed with our teamwork as wedding photographers and our uncompromising quality in prints and albums. Since they needed fresh pictures of their service areas, they asked us to photograph their ceremony and reception halls.

The following are just some of the pictures of the location. I highly suggest individuals to consider them for your wedding. They are on the 54th floor (penthouse) of the Wells Fargo building in Los Angeles. They have a breathtaking view of Downtown LA and beyond. My favorite time at the City Club is during sunset because it lends the room a warm yellow glow.

Beverly Hills Wedding Photography

Ora and Naftali
Orthodox Jewish Wedding
Beverly Hills Wedding Photographers

The Furious Photographers had a totally rad time photographing an Orthodox Jewish Wedding. What made it cooler was that it was a military wedding as well. The handsome officers all drew swords during the wedding ceremony to make an archway. It was wicked!

It was actually our first time to witness this type of religious ceremony. There are a number of rules that make an Orthodox Jewish Wedding different from a regular Jewish Wedding. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

Some love during the bride's preparation



The bride preparing



One of our cool perspective shots - creative eh? :D



Look at all of the people! It's just too bad that pictures cannot record sound because they were all singing joyfully!



Got caught! Using his cellphone right under the hupa hahaha



Wedding Ceremony Military Style!!!





Some time alone :D

















The wedding reception was a blast! Everyone was so energetic that it made the wedding extra awesome. I really look forward to our next Jewish wedding - super fun!

Best,

R A W R ! ! !



Notice the hand on the bottom? It was someone ready to hold Mindy back in case she trips; both of them were already swaying haha









Their last dance...

Rancho Palos Verdes - Wedding Photography in upper post ^_^

First off, sorry for the lack of posts. Alas, with work and school and etc., not all events will be posted and on time.

Anyway, we had the opportunity to offer Mindy and David engagement photography services. They were a lovely couple to work with. You will see their wedding photographs in another post.

We started our engagement photography session at a cool lighthouse that we saw along the Rancho Palos Verdes coast.



A little glimpse between the stairs :D



A hot day warrants a respite





More resting





There were some wickedly cool Japanese kites that rose really high into the sky. When they dipped, we decided to see just how big they really were.



















One thing cool about engagement photography sessions is that you can use these pictures for your guest sign-in books! Your friends and family members can admire the awesome pictures of your engagement photography session while writing well-wishes! :D

We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to photograph Binh and Mako's lovely beach wedding. They had their wedding ceremony on the beautiful Crystal Cove beach in Corona Del Mar (Orange County). Before you leave our blog, be sure to check out their cool wedding site: http://www.binhandmako.com. Mako is a really good flash programmer.

The two of them got ready at the Radisson Hotel.



Some random detail shots of the wedding rings and dress:

Some minor preparations before the ceremony.



Thumbs up from the groom :D



The beautiful bride, Binh, is escorted by her parents.



The music



Although it was a hot day, the bride and groom equipped all of their guests with lovely red parasols to shield themselves from the heat. It made a nice sea of red circles.



A family photographer



More family photographers =X We had some serious competition.







Yay! The couple is wedded! It was really cute when the beachcombers all stopped eating at the local restaurant to watch and clap in celebration.



Some time alone with them.









Their neat party favor - "A grate love" - Binh is the head chef for Staples Center so the grate inside the box served dual purposes.



They hosted their reception in Corona Del Mar at Five Crowns - A fine dining in an Olde English style restaurant, part of the Lawry's chain







Some happy moments below! Times like these remind us why we love photographing weddings. Everyone is so happy and it makes us happy! It makes us even happier when couples get to relive their wedding once more when seeing our photographs ;D







Our competition again haha



Mako's mom gave us the thumbs up during the mother-groom dance! She is hella cool!

Electra Cruise Wedding Photography

Binh & Jim
Orange County Wedding Photography
Electra Cruise - Newport Beach

Furious Photographers had the opportunity to photograph Binh and Jim's wedding on a lovely afternoon in Newport Beach. The wedding was hosted on an Electra Cruise specifically called the "Athena."

The yacht was filled with life and happiness. We sailed out to the Pacific Ocean promptly at 6PM where Binh and Jim tied the knot. Below are a number of wedding photographs captured on the Athena.

A clever use of our environment? *nudge nudge*





A little surprise for Jim ^_^ *wink wink nudge nudge*



We love the detail on this flowery wedding gown and did our best to bring the design out. With some cool lighting techniques, this wedding dress illuminates figuratively and literally.































We like to live life on the edge - or ledge. Despite the danger, Doug boldly accepts the task. Whatever it takes to get the shot, Furious Photographers will bend over backwards to do it. =)



...and the results...



Using the white wall of the yacht, it served as a white backdrop.



One of my favorites! A one-point lighting from above and a grand piano is calling out for a stunning wedding photograph.















Using just the right amount of power on our remote flashes (on the left), we dragged the shutter to add motion and life to a still image.



I hope that you viewers enjoyed our brief explanations. It is easy to photojournalistically capture a moment, but it takes much more effort to capture it with style or pazazz! Check back soon for more updates - as the cliche infamously says, "you snooze, you lose!"

Beers all around! Everyone had a beer in his or her hand at all times! As a result, everyone was really relaxed and having a ball - how a wedding should be.

We offered wedding photography coverage on that beautiful Saturday. While the guys were drinking and playing poker, the gals were at the MAC Studio getting ready. Everyone ultimately met at the Ebell Club in Long Beach, Orange County. The Ebell Club is a lovely location for a wedding!

Some detail shots

Ritz Carlton Wedding Photography

Bernice and Chris Wedding Photography
Ritz Carlton Pasadena
San Marino
Mission 261

Bernice is such a beautiful and happy bride! Nothing can affect her good attitude. In fact, her positive aura even radiates and influences everyone around her. The same goes equal for her husband, Chris. The two of them make the perfect marriage.

We did their wedding photography in Los Angeles, California. The bride started her beautiful day with birds chirping and delicious snacks at the Ritz Carlton Suites. The talented Joyce Luck did Bernice's hair and make-up.

What a breath-taking view at the Pasadena Ritz Carlton!

I used a Ritz Carlton magazine as a background for her jewelry. This creative use of space serves dual purposes.

Their first glance!

We all then headed to San Marino where they got married! After that, they hosted their lovely wedding reception at Mission 261. This wild crowd shared touching speeches and hilarious moments. Overall, it was a ball to have had the opportunity to photograph Bernice and Chris' wedding.

We had a quick private session with the bride and groom at the San Gabriel Mission.

Arboretum / Bonaventure Wedding Photography

Taylin & Quan
Aboretum
Bonaventure

We had the privilege of providing Taylin & Quan wedding photography services in the lovely city of Los Angeles. This quirky couple started their day with a Chinese "door entry game," where the groom must coax the bridesmaids to allow him to enter the room to pick up his beautiful bride. He usually has to do a variety of tasks to prove his love for her. In this situation, Quan and his entourage had to sing and cajole the girls with red envelopes (containing money).

Once Quan succeeded, everyone proceeded to the Chinese tea ceremony. To pay respect to the family members, the couple would present tea in exchange for their well-wishes.

Following the tea ceremony, the wedding party went to the scenic Aboretum in Arcadia. Fortunately, in most cases, and unfortunately, Los Angeles is known for its constant sun. The scorching rays and lack of cool airflow in the limo created a lot of drowsy faces.



Despite the heat and uneven lighting conditions, our largest challenge was working with the videographers. Throughout the day, the three of them would constantly either get in our view or interject while we are trying to facilitate a pose. In the end, we did not even get a chance for a private session for the two at the Los Angeles Aboretum because the videographers were not cooperative, but we were still able to capture some randomly cool moments.

Following the Aboretum, the couple hosted their reception at Los Angeles Bonaventure in Downtown LA.





























After a long day's work, nothing quenches a hungry photographer's growling stomach better than JJ Cafe midnight dinner specials. Their affordable food and quick service make the perfect marriage. I [and Los Angeles Times] recommend this restaurant without reserve to anyone in search for good food. =) All in all, it was an enjoyable day where we got to meet a lot of cool people.
