  • Serene & Ben Get Married

    The other weekend Diana and I attended the wedding of our friends Serene and Ben.  Diana and Serene are sorority sisters back from their Cal days and I even knew Serene as well, but just more of an acquaintance.  Well one day we went to a lunch, I believe for Serene’s Birthday, and suddenly there was this guy Ben.  Funny thing is Diana knew Ben when they were back at Lowell High School.  Well since then there have been many fun times with the two of them and Ben has somewhat become a golfing buddy when we can manage to get out there. 

     

    The two of them are such a fun couple that as one might imagine, we were completely delighted when we heard they were going to get married.  Well if you know Serene you know that she is normally crazy with all her arts and crafts, so you just knew her wedding would be over the top.  That put together with their fun loving spirits foretold of an awesome event.  Well they did not disappoint.  Of course some antics by friends just upped the level a bit more. 

     

    My good friend Michael Muramoto was providing the professional photography coverage for this event along with Dawn Shields, so I can’t wait to see what they shot.  I just felt a little bad for him, since Mike would have been a guest, since his lovely wife Annie (did I earn some of your delicious baked goods) was one of Serene’s Bridesmaids.  But since he was working he was not able to fully enjoy every aspect of the celebration.  Well here are a few shots I managed to snap off.  Congratulations Serene and Ben here’s wishing you many blessings and a wonderful life together! 

     

    I had to take a some shots of the church as Diana and I were married in this same church.

    I grabbed this one just because it is probably to only moment where Mike was able to be a guest.

    This little boy loved these drums.  I think many of us say we can still hear it now.

    A rare shot of Diana and I together.  Thank you to Mike’s wife Annie for helping us take this shot.  Annie should I tell people that I set up the camera?  Good job with the composition!

    I like this one because it looks like Soogi and Matt are on the red carpet somewhere.  Well I guess they are sort of a power couple so not completely unbelievable.  =)

  • Hey, the woman with the microphone, that’s my girl Aisha Tyler – we worked together everyday!  She was the host of Talk Soup for 2 years – nice to see her at what looks like an all Asian wedding!

  • Hey T, good eye.  It is Aisha.  Her and Ben are friends from I believe middle school or something like that.  Yes, it was predominately an asian wedding so needless to say she stood out a bit.  I did not really get to meet her but she seems totally fun and from some of the pictures I saw from the shower she looks like she is a blast to be around.

  • beautiful wedding and beautiful pictures! i love all the details!
