JERRY AND ANH : KYOTO GRAND HOTEL AND GARDENS LOS ANGELES WEDDING

Brian Khang — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:06:50 +0000

He came to the door and tried to bribe his way in with fruit! That’s when I knew that Jerry and Anh’s wedding has officially begun! What’s customary for most Chinese weddings are either door games or bribing the door guards with lucky envelopes full of money. Which ultimately was what Jerry needed to do to get in, instead of fruit. When Jerry finally saw Anh as she was announced and brought in, they couldn’t do anything really but just uncontrollably smile at one another in joy and excitement! And I can say the same thing during their fist look as well at the Kyoto Grand Hotel in Los Angeles. Pink details flowed throughout their wedding, which was simple and elegant! Including a delicious cotton candy machine! Anh’s wedding dresses were all custom made as well and amazing! All created by L’Atelier!

Jerry and Anh, I’m still so uncontrollably happy for you both and I wish you both all the best! Congratulations again!

It was a nice attempt at the front door Jerry!

I loved Jerry’s reaction when he finally saw Anh in her wedding dress!

Married!
We took photos down at their favorite place in Los Angeles, The Walt Disney Concert Hall. There’s always great light there!

A slideshow moment and dancing the night away!

SHUI AND CARINA : THE CITY CLUB LOS ANGELES WEDDING

Brian Khang — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 19:48:47 +0000

I’m kicking this week off and a month from not blogging off, with Shui and Carina, who were recently married in downtown Los Angeles. It was an intimate and beautiful wedding ceremony at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, followed by the reception at The City Club on Bunker Hill. My most favorite thing about this wedding, was actually photographing the joy and emotions from their parents. You can just see it on their faces how proud of parents they are and how happy they are on Shui and Carina’s day. Congratulations again Shui and Carina!

JACKIE AND BRIAN : THE REEF AVIA HOTEL LONG BEACH WEDDING PHOTOS

Brian Khang — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:58:24 +0000

I will be honest and possibly cliche to say, that as a photographer, we always feel this sense of honor to be chosen to document a couples marriage. And to be a part of Jackie and Brian’s Vietnamese Engagement Ceremony over a year ago, Engagement Session and now their Wedding Day, I’m truly speechless. Not just to be on this journey with them, but to just see how truly amazing these two are and how monumental their relationship is. If you’re also wondering why they look like they’re in such great shape, it’s because they both share the love of running. So much so, that I always here about them training for marathons! Jackie and Brian met over 12 years ago and believe it or not, just recently, Brian finally told Jackie how he truly felt and decided to propose to her shortly after. Their wedding was so thoughtful in details, like the photo of Brian’s late father who was a CEO of an airline company and what the main focus of their engagement ceremony and wedding, was family. They even started the evening with the father daughter dance, rather than the first dance. I know the bond between Jackie and her father is something really special. Jackie and Brian, you’re amazing! There’s nothing more that I can say but that. It was truly truly an amazing day and thank you for letting us be a part of it!

GREG AND NICOLETTE : SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO ENGAGEMENT

Brian Khang — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:20:52 +0000

If it’s one thing that I admire about Greg and Nicolette, is their ability to just have fun with each other. It’s usually all that I ask for during these engagement sessions and boy did they do it in style! We had a fun time running around the streets of San Juan Capistrano and then to a quiet field in Orange County. They also brought their daughter to the end of the shoot which I thought was a great idea! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next month!

CARINA AND SHUI : LOS ANGELES ENGAGEMENT

Brian Khang — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:03:42 +0000

Their story in their own words…

How they met:

Shui began working with the Social Security Administration (SSA) in September 2003 in Laguna Niguel, CA. At the same exact time, Carina began her journey working for SSA in Inglewood, CA. In May 2007, Carina’s career fortuitously brought her to Mission Viejo, CA; where she met Shui. They sat across the way from each other, and throughout the months, a friendship built. Shui soon found himself a little bit distracted at work. Although thinking he had zero chance, Shui decided to make a move and snag Carina before she knew what hit her!

The proposal:

In June 2009, Carina agreed to come up and visit Shui for a few days while he was up in Richmond, CA for work. Unfamiliar with the Bay area, Shui spent several days before her arrival to research and plan out a special weekend. The first night, they had dinner at a wonderful restaurant in San Francisco, Restaurant Gary Danko. The next night, Shui and Carina set out again in San Francisco. After a quick visit to Coit Tower, they had dinner at a nice little Italian restaurant, Albona. Afterward, they set out for the Palace of Fine Arts. As they roamed the beautiful grounds, the sun began to set. Shui found a secluded area next to the lake with a wonderful view of the Rotunda at sunset. As it was starting to get cold, Shui held Carina tightly as they admired the view. After expressing his feelings of love and hopes for the future, Shui got on his knees and proposed. Carina’s initial response was shock and silence. After a few moments, she said, “Yes!” Later that night, Shui presented Carina with a scrapbook he made that represented memories that built their relationship in the past 15 months.

THE VERANDAS MANHATTAN BEACH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY : SHIRLEY + TUNG

Brian Khang — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 01:04:01 +0000

My last wedding of 2009, ended up being my most relaxed wedding I’ve photographed all year. Shirley and Tung had their celebration at the beautiful Verandas in Manhattan Beach, surrounded by only their closest friends and family. Some of which came from other countries. The day was mainly an outdoor garden “Chinese Tea Ceremony” and a relaxing lunch with their guests. This day and this wedding, was a great way to end 2009! Now on to the photos!

Venue : The Verandas, Manhattan Beach, CA
Florals : Be Buds Florist, Torrance, CA
Stationery and Invitations : Emily K Paperie
Lion Dance: East Wind Foundation

We started the day at the Ayres Hotel in Manhattan Beach. There’s something charming about this particular hotel that I like.
The flowers were amazing! Many gold bracelets. Talk about awesome shoes! Some getting ready and relaxed photos.
Tungs first look reaction is priceless!
I gave them a few minutes to just relax and be together.

Lovely window lighting at The Verandas!
The garden “Chinese Tea Ceremony” was my favorite part of the day! Lion Dance and all!

Some more relaxed photos in the courtyard.
It was an amazing day and I got to see a perfect sunset when I was leaving!

Special thanks to Brian Fletcher for helping me out! Be sure to checkout more photos on his blog!
