It was a pleasant surprise when we were notified by Hotel Valencia that one of our images is being used as their main image for their wedding section.

Hotel Valencia is one of the best hotels in the South Bay and a gorgeous place to get married at. The surrounding Santana Row also provides a beautiful backdrop for any wedding images. We are thrilled to get this news.

Vero and Glen’s wedding ceremony was held at the theater inside the Museum of Photographic Arts at Balboa Park in San Diego. Prior to the ceremony, they treated their guests with two amazing videos that best captured their dynamics and relationship. It was witty, funny and very sweet. Just the perfect introduction to their ceremony. In the evening the celebration was moved to the University Club atop Symphony Tower. Not only is this an amazing venue where you can see the skyline of San Diego, Thomas Bui LifeStyle made the day flow effortlessly and added their magical touch to everything. The sophisticated, modern and chic decor wowed everyone.

We really enjoyed getting to know this wonderful couple. Individually, they appear to be as opposite as one can be. Vero, ruled by her brain, is the orderly and logical kind of a girl. Glen, ruled by his heart, is a romantic and touchy-feely kind of a guy. Together they compliment each other perfectly and make the sweetest couple ever. They share the same passion and dedication for family, friends, life and each other. It is amazing how generous and caring they are. And what we love the most is they can be super brainy together yet be super goofy and loving at the same time.

Vero & Glen – You two are so incredible! Thank you so much for allowing us to document your love and devotion! We feel truly blessed to meet your amazing friends and families. We wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness.

Last but not least, big thanks to Victor for assisting us! Always a pleasure working with you!

Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

We photographed Yawen and Vince’s wedding last year and then we had the privilege to photograph their precious newborn baby!

Please meet adorable baby Elizabeth. She is so tiny and precious. Let the ooo’s and ahhh’s begin! :)

Before even meeting Kevin and Tony, we already knew we really want to be their wedding photographer. For Mark it was the fact that Tony won the Price is Right showcase showdown. For me it was the energy and happiness I felt during the email exchange. This is a happy couple in love! We were so thrilled when they called back to book us the same night we met.

Kevin and Tony’s engagement session went by like a breeze. During the session we kept wondering if they had secret modeling jobs because they were so natural in front of the camera and did not need any directing at all! Maybe they learned how to smile with their eyes from watching Project Runway or America’s Next Top Model? :)

Kevin & Tony – thanks for coming out on a windy day! We had a great time with you even though it was bloody cold. We are so excited about your wedding in Tahoe. It is going to fabulous!

It was raining everyday in San Francisco up until Marina and Shing’s big day. But then the sun came out and the sky turned blue, made it the most perfect day to get married. This brought a big smile to Marina’s face all day long. Throughout the day we were surrounded by laughter and joy, and we can’t help but fall in love with this wonderful couple.

Marina and Shing were set up by common friends. Their first two dates did not go as well as one would have hoped, but Marina gave him more chances and Shing finally came through. He showed her that he is a gentleman she can trust, love, and spend the rest of her life with. That is what we saw during their wedding ceremony where they promised eternity of devotion to each other.

It was a fantastic day and a wonderful celebration of love.

Marina & Shing – thank you for having us there to document your love story. We think the world of you both and wish you nothing but love, joy and happiness together!

much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy
