Los Angeles Union Station Wedding Photography: Jamie & Ryan: Part II

With the afterglow of a beautiful ceremony at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Jamie, Ryan and the rest of the wedding entourage made their way to Grand Central Station via the Red Line for the big reception at the Fred Harvey Restaurant.  Both Jamie and Ryan were so happy walking in front of friends and family at the restaurant with the band playing in the background.  Walking into the restaurant was fantastic!  The old historic feel of the restaurant made it very classy and the flowers at each table with the lights around the room made it feel ever so romantic.

Talk about energy!  The feeling of the night was set once the wedding party made their entrance.  Chanting the UCLA fight song and letting Jamie and Ryan go through the tunnel between them was really cool.  The energy was still up as speeches were made and as dancing began.  The money dance got everyone out to the floor and the open dance floor really got things moving!  Everyone from friends and family danced to classics from Michael Jackson and to more modern beats from Flo Rider.  One of the biggest moments was when almost everyone got onto the dance floor to line dance to the Macarena.

Looking back at the start of the evening to the end of the night, it was a lot of memories in such a short amount of time. For Jamie and Ryan, you could tell that they were enjoying their time being married together and sharing the moment with their friends and family.  Congratulations again to both of you and hopefully there will be a lot more memories for the two of you as you grow together.

UCLA Engagement Photos : Jamie & Ryan : Part II

After shooting the first part of their engagement session at Pasadena City Hall, we drove to UCLA where Jamie and Ryan (and me!) went to college. There was hardly anyone on campus since the students were still on their winter break. Most of this part of the engagement session was shot mainly with off camera lighting for a more dramatic effect. UCLA is such a beautiful campus with so much potential for engagement photos in SoCal.

I still cannot believe I graduated from UCLA for almost 9 years now. I couldn’t even recall the building names except the Powell Library, where I spent countless hours studying for exams. I have been back several times after I graduated, and have seen photographers shooting engagement sessions around the Powell Library and the Ackerman Building, but I never thought that I would be doing that too.

I am so grateful for Jamie and Ryan being so patient with me. There were times that the shoot got a little slow since I needed time to adjust the position and intensity of my lights.  They were very patient and enthusiastic for the entire 4 hour engagement session. I can’t wait to see them again for their wedding in LA this coming May.
