Was this another fashion photoshoot I just did or it’s a real wedding? Looking over the photos, I can’t believe that this is a real wedding that we just documented. Not only that the bride and groom are stunningly beautiful people, all the bridesmaids and groomsmen are equally attractive . I felt like I was in fashion photoshoot with the all models. 🙂 On top of that, the venues are one of the finest venues I have shot. We started at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, where we documented the bride and bridesmaids getting ready. The hotel is truly a historic landmark in the heart of LA. It’s almost like being in a classic Hollywood movie with all the elegant decor of the lobby and the luxurious room decor. Next stop is the St. Andrew Church in Pasadena. It was where Janice and Gabriel exchanged their vows. This church is breathtaking with its Baroque style architecture. The church of opulent use of color, detailed ornaments, rich marble columns, and dramatic ceiling paintings are a marvel to behold. After the ceremony, we went to Cicada Restaurant for the reception. The restaurant has an Art Deco style with contemporary design elements, exuding pure sophistication and luxury. This was where all the fun began.  Janice and Gabriel have out done themselves. They have impeccable taste in the finest things. From the venues, to the rings, to the gown and tux, or the entertainment, everything was done to perfection, and we were there experiencing and documenting every bit of it. Thank you Janice and Gabriel for having us to be a part of your amazing “Hollywood” wedding. Here is Chapter I of their amazing day…

What you see here is a couture wedding gown by renowned designer  Baracci. This couture gown is truly a piece of art. It is adorned with Swarovski crystals, pearls, beads, and hand carved crystal roses.  It is all handmade.  The fabric is 100% Double Douchess Satin. The price is astounding.  It costs “enough to down a house”. No kidding…Cost more than most wedding itself. 🙂 Beyonce just wore a Baracci dress in her wedding music video, and it is the only style more expensive than this dress valued at $75000. It was a gift from Janice’s twin sister, Janina.

This dress is truly stunning!!!
Look at the exquisite details and the size of the rock on this ring. Wow!!!This dress is also fabulous. Got to have it in the gallery. It was worn by Janina, Janice’s twin sister, as maid of honor.  It compliments Janice perfectly. Designed by Oscar de la Renta. A magnificent beauty. She was breathtakingly beautiful…They are going to have beautiful offsprings. Look at the cheekbones on her and jawlines on Gabriel.
Iphones Rock!!! Apple all the way. As you can see, I’m a big Apple fan. Meet Janina, Janice’s identical twin sister. She is drop-dead gorgeous as well. They should be in the next Double Spearmint gum commercial. 🙂Didn’t I tell you all the bridesmaids look like models? Everyone is super stunning in their elegant bridesmaid gowns. “White swan and Black swan” as Janice has put it. I couldn’t agree more. Just beautiful!!!This shot here is the money shot! Janice looks like a royal princess in a palace…Love it! Thank you to Nikon 14-24mm f 2.8. No wonder all photographers call it the Holly Grail lens of Nikon. Expensive, but worth the money!Meet prince charming. Gabriel is like a cross between Patrick Dempsey and Viggo Mortensen – Dreamy, mysterious, yet full of intensity. Too bad, he is officially off-the-market ladies…The three musketeers…
These guys look first class in their black velvet tux! Luckily it wasn’t warm on that day. Can’t imagine wearing it when it’s 90 degrees outside. 🙂Wow! My assistant, Jennifer Lebron took this amazing shot. Thank you!On the left is Brendan, the best man– a very charming, funny man. He may be single. On the right is Gregory Grimm, Gabriel’s brother–the other handsome guy who got married a week ago. Gotta love the socks! Wickedly cool…
Ok, it’s time to get marry! Stay tune for the next chapter of Janice & Gabriel Wedding….Wait till you see the church. 🙂
