September 24, 2008brittany & brian: wedding
September 24, 2008“beautiful day”
I LOVE working with other talented and fabulous professionals. So I was absolutely delighted when Kerrie of Platinum Weddings by Kerrie asked me to shoot alongside the lovely duo of Sarah K. Chen and Jonilyn Brown for Brittany & Brian’s gorgeous summer wedding. Brittany & Brian’s wedding at the Surf & Sand Resort in the Laguna Beach was the epitome of a perfect summer wedding: sunny, bright and beautiful. Kerrie’s coordination of the event blew my mind and as you will soon see – all the details were to die for!!!
We begin with one of my favorite quotes ever! All the paper goods were so wonderfully created by Joceybella Invites!
Did I mention perfection?!
Now this is what I call a kiss! 
More lovely paper goodness crafted by Joceybella Invites!
And how about this gorgeous ballroom! Look at the amazing table lines by Fusion Linens!
Brittany & Brian LOVE NYC which they incorporated in their theme:
Told you these details were incredible!
A moving speech by the maid-of-honor left everyone a lil’ emotional:
After a heartwarming speech by the father-of-the-bride:
One of the best parts of the evening was when instead of the traditional bouquet toss to the single ladies, Brittany gave her beautiful bouquet to her darling Grandmother:
Look how surprised and happy her grandmother looked!
What a lovely couple! I just love this pic of them laughing! =)
Now we really get the party started! Everyone was having such a good time – I just had to post a bunch of dancing pics!
Haha I just love this photo!
Check out this talented kid! The worm is my favorite!!!
Brittany really got into it when the dynamic DJs from Vive Entertainment, Inc. started playing Britney Spears =):
The night wore down but not this grooving group!
congrats galina & steve!
September 22, 2008“forever”
Before I left for down under, I had the honor of being a guest at Galina & Steve’s incredible wedding! Their wedding was one of the best weddings I have ever witnessed. Their wedding was non-stop entertainment, laughs and good times. Not to mention they had cocktail hour with an open bar and sushi BEFORE the ceremony even started, a dessert bar AND wedding cake, a made-to-order cappuccino bar, candy station with chocolate covered raisins (my fave), 20 appetizers for each person (that does not include the main course!), a band that sang “World Hold On” by Bob Sinclar, beautiful Russian dancers and oh endless bottles of Vodka and wine at each table!!! Now that’s what I call a party in any culture!!! More importantly, I have never seen Galina & Steve happier than they were on their wedding day. Congrats you crazy kids!!! “Gor’ko” (means kiss in Russian) one more time for me!!! =)
Here’s a photo my friend took of me and my dear friend Gayla, a.k.a the beautiful bride. I didn’t take any photographs that day – I was being a guest as strictly ordered by the bride =).
i’m baaaaack!!!
September 19, 2008“return of the mac =)”
Thats righty folks – I’m back from the outback!!! I have heaps (a word I picked up down under) of emails to return and a few posts to share with all of you, including my adventure down under. After my 14 hour flight – I think I’m going to take a 14 hour nap now and will get back to you shortly. So please stay tuned! xoxo
going down under!!!
September 7, 2008“leaving, on a jet plane”
That’s right!!! TODAY I am leaving for my first trip to Australia!!! I know – I am quite the jet setter! =) I am going with my mommy and a friend to visit my uncle (for the first time!) and some friends!! I am soooo excited!!! My mom hasn’t seen her brother in 30 years and I have never met my uncle so it will be a very heartfelt trip! I have never flown this far (14 hours!!!) but if you know me, you know I can pretty much fall asleep anywhere! We are visiting 4 cities in a week and a half so it should be a fun and busy trip!
I will be definitely taking lots of pictures and create one super edition of “kim le’s korner” when I get back. Until then, unfortunately, you won’t be hearing my lil’ voice until September 18, 2008. I know, sad, but there’s always football and the new 90210 to watch! =)
G’day, mate!! =)
I’ll see if these really exist:
uyen & tung: wedding
September 7, 2008“summer nights”
Tung is one of my friends from back in the UCLA days (go VSU!!! =)) and I was more than happy to capture such a special evening for him and his new wife. And of course I was thrilled to be shooting in beautiful Laguna Beach, CA. Uyen & Tung were married a few days before and had their reception on August 3, 2008 at the charming Pacific Edge at Laguna Beach. The reception had traditional Vietnamese customs, the warmth of family & friends, amazing views, a breathtaking sunset and tons of laughter & fun =).
Uyen & Tung – Thank you for having me there to be a part of your special day!!! Like the two of you – your wedding was so charming and sweet. Tung – I have never seen you so happy and I am sure Uyen has all to do with it =). You are one lucky Bruin! =) xoxo, Kim Le
We start off with the beautiful new missus:
today was a good day…
September 5, 2008“the right stuff”
Soooo why was today sooo good you ask??? Well because I got a few new things!!! The first is not for me, but for Galina & Steve’s wedding on Saturday! Their engagement album/guest book arrived in the email today and it’s just so lovely I had to share it with you all:
I think albums that double as guest books are a great idea and great way to share your photos with your family & friends. Plus they are so much better than the boring guest books that come in plain white and just have lines in them. C’mon – you know you want one! =)
And the second thing I got today is just for me – mine, all mine!!! Yep, NKOTB’s new CD “The Block”. What a title?! !! And the songs are awesome!!! They have all these collaborations including one with New Edition!!! I have the CD on repeat in my car!! C’mon – you know you want one of these too!! =P
