Jeff and Stephanie were married at the Yamashiro Restaurant in Hollywood last weekend. It was a beautiful small ceremony in the manicured garden courtyard, which during the winter, is tastefully covered. As expected – the words were eloquent, touching, and spiritual. Jeff and Stephanie put a lot of hard work into their own wedding and the decorations and party favors were just downright playful and creative gems. Photographing this wedding was a blast. Top hats, canes, and masquerade masks came out harkening back to the golden age of cinema and as the Yamashiro Restaurant sits perched above Hollywood and the Magic Castle – the night felt like stepping back into the bygone era of the starlets.

September 13, 2010 Wedding Venue | Twin Lakes Forest Chapel – Mammoth Lakes, CA
I spent the weekend at a friends 50th birthday party up in Mammoth Lakes, CA. Do you like to ski, snowboard, hike, or fish in Southern California? Then I’m sure you’ve heard of Mammoth Mountain. Well – did you know there is a small, beautiful, rustic summertime wedding venue to get married at in Mammoth? The Twin Lakes Forest Chapel is across the footbridge from the Tamarack Lodge. My wife and I think “The Lakefront Restaurant” inside the lodge is one of the finest places to dine in all of the Mammoth Lakes area. The historic lodge is intimate and charming – we’ve sat fireside many times after dinner enjoying a game of chess and chatting. There is ample lodging for guests either at the Tamarack Lodge or in town at the Juniper Springs Lodge, The Westin, or in The Village. As I own a condo in Mammoth, I am happy to be your wedding photographer and will work as a local.
August 16, 2010 Chamberlain Hotel Wedding Photography | Natalie and Sergio
A rooftop wedding at the Chamberlain Hotel in West Hollywood. It was a beautiful intimate affair. Set right at sunset, the clouds made for a dramatic sunset, perhaps trying to outdo the bride and groom. But to no avail, Natalie and Sergio were fantastic.
August 14, 2010 The Ebell of Los Angeles | Wedding Photography | Mike and Kathy
Mike and Kathy got married at the Ebell of Los Angeles in 2007. Also known as the Ebell Theatre (as it has a 1,200 seat auditorium), this 75,000 sq. foot wedding venue is a historic gem on Wilshire Boulevard in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles. It is an architecturally stunning venue with a beautiful courtyard for an outdoor ceremony and the adjacent detailed ballrooms are spacious enough to accommodate larger wedding parties. My wedding photographs of the Ebell of Los Angeles give you a sense of mood and style that a classic wedding venue can impart on your special day.
