Hello everyone,

I’m super excited to share some wedding pictures from Langham Huntington Hotel (Pasadena branch). If you are a bride, feel free to contact me here!

The last time I photographed there was when it was under Ritz Carlton’s management. Plus, I just got myself this 45mm f/2.8 tilt-shift lens!

What is a Tilt-Shift lens?
It is a lens that bends the depth of field allowing photographers to discern details in images

Pretty bride-to-be Stephanie! So far my job sounds easy-peasy! Why anyone wouldn’t want to do wedding photography, I don’t quite understand.

I later learned that this picture might be unflattering because of “back cleavage,” which I rolled around laughing when I heard it. Nevertheless, I am posting it because I love the lighting!

…All creased out.

First glances are always so romantic! If done properly, the groom normally does not know what to expect (hairdo, makeup, dress, everything)! It’s like Christmas, but early!

Tilt-shift formals?! I wouldn’t suggest it because you might get some blurry foreheads, but since I was second-shooter, I could do whatever I want!

Oh so rad! When I saw the light pouring through the back, I knew it was going to give them awesome depth because of the hair-light; And it did, so I’m happy with the result!

The Langham Hotel garden is as beautiful as I remember it (back in the day – gosh, I feel so old).

Gosh, it was so hot (especially with the brush fire)! So we just sat. The only thing missing that would make this scene better would be a blisteringly cold Brisk Iced Tea.

This silhouette was my favorite for the day.

    Hey Lawrence! The photos are rockin’ as usual. You’d never be able to tell these were some of your first photos with the TS. You worked that lens like you’d been using it for years! Guaranteed, these are the best photos to be shot through that lens so far!

    …these assure me I need to go out and practice with mine!
