@FloralFields : Los Angeles Wedding & Event Floral Arrangements

I first worked with Debbie and Floral Fields several years ago at a wedding at Malibou Lake. What was great about the wedding is that it was the wedding of an elementary school friend and Debbie was also family friends of the bride and her family.

Having grown up in West L.A. and the Conejo Valley and not straying too far, I have developed amazing friendships and relationships over the years. Many of my “clients” are old friends, friends of friends and acquaintances that have become wonderful friends. Although Los Angeles is quite large in populations, it’s actually quite small when it comes to people you know.

Since working with Floral Fields at Jenn’s wedding, our paths have crossed numerous times, and I always seemed to be amazed by her beautiful floral creations.

Blessed Sacrament and Taglyan Cultural Center

Paul and Carrie started their day at the London Hotel traveled to Blessed Sacrament for their ceremony and finished their evening at the gorgeous Taglyan Cultural Center. It was an amazing, event filled day with so many great photo ops. The ceiling at Taglyan, itself, could be photographed for hours, so we made sure to incorporate it into many of our reception photos.

Carrie and Paul have been together for about a decade and it’s so special to see, after all of this time, so much love and tenderness between them… again, this is why I do what I do!

Dream Wedding and Banquet Hall, Los Angeles

Mildred and Yaw are from Ghana, which I find totally fascinating! Did you know that Ghana was listed as the world’s fastest growing economy in 2011? One thing that I find exceptionally cool about what I do, is that I meet people from so many different places who practice religions and cultural traditions that are different from my own and eat foods that I have yet to experience. In addition to celebrating happy occasions, I learn about these special traditions and as a history buff and a food love, I love it!

The Adu’s wedding was very Western but they did weave in some great African inspired food, lots of dancing and some traditional African garb. Dream Wedding is set up really nicely for weddings of any kind, despite being located in Korea Town. The bridal suite is nice and spacious and well lit and the lighting set-up in the main ballroom/dining room has a totally modern feel to any event. Appointments and details round out the venue and give it a personal touch.

Baby Butterfly

This is my darling Alexandra at 17 months. Up until about one years old, she was quite easy to photograph. She hammed it up for the camera, smiled constantly and always gave me these funny expressions. Now she is almost a year and a half and can’t sit still to save her life! I don’t blame her… she’s got a whole world to explore.

My philosophy, now, is to let her explore and capture her in motion. Most of our lives we are forced to sit still, so why not use our kids as an excuse to get up and run around after them. The pictures end up that much for fun anyway.

Hartley Botanica, Somis, Ca

Hartley Botanica is one of the most incredible locations that we have ever photographed. Aside from its incredible beauty, it is actually designed with events in mind; layout, aesthetics, lighting, space and design are all taken into account and perfectly planned. I have to admit that I am bit partial to events and shoots that incorporate the amazing environment that California has to offer but I definitely think Hartley is a true exception!
