“rockin’ around the christmas tree”

Talk about ending the year with a bang!!! Kim Le Photography has recently been awarded one of the Best of Project Wedding 2008!!!! Yes lil ol’ me and my not so lil’ photos :) . If you haven’t been on www.projectwedding.com, you should definitely check it out! Project Wedding connects brides in your local area and helps them share ideas, advice, and best of all has vendor recommendations. Quite a few of my brides have used Project Wedding and it has really helped them with wedding planning.

Only 5% of photographers in Los Angeles and Orange County area received the award so I am very honored and thrilled! I am so giddy with joy over this! It makes me feel all warm inside that my hard work this year has been so well received. It has been quite a year for me and I am so grateful for everyone’s continued support. I actually can’t believe how much has happened in a year. I am definitely blessed both personally and professionally. My clients are so wonderful and I can’t thank them enough for being so inspiring. This just makes me even more excited about what 2009 will bring!

“joy to the world”

Ok if this doesn’t bring you some holiday cheer then I don’t know what will. Aren’t they so adorable?! Remember baby DJ?! He has grown so much since I last saw him in July and is definitely giving the Gerber baby a run for his money. Kaden is his cute cousin who was 3 weeks old when we did this shoot last month. Talk about a wonderful early Christmas present =). Thank Wendi & Dustin and your family for having the cutest kids ever.

Introducing Kaden – the newest addition to the Damico clan!

Of course we had to dress them up for Christmas. I know these poor kids. But look at how precious they are!

Remember no kids were harmed during this shoot! =)

jb’s birthday bash

December 19, 2008

“party like a rockstar”

150+ of JB’s family & friends gathered last month, decked out in their fab 50’s style wear to wish JB a very happy 50th birthday. I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know JB from Heidi & Warren’s wedding as well as a portrait shoot I did for his website. JB is one of those guys you want to know and one of those guys that knows everyone. Guest after guest and toast after toast, it was evident that JB has touched many people’s lives with his positive and motivational outlook in life. JB – thank you for having me there at your wonderful party and being an inspiration to everyone you meet. Here’s to another 50! =)

Here’s JB and his beautiful family!

JBBday

Followed by a collage of the good times!

“so amazing”

Ok here’s a quick, special edition of kim le’s korner. There’s a lot going on this Holiday season so we will have to keep this short & sweet…like me =).

  • Wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday. Slept for 24 hours straight. Can someone say chipmunk?. I love my sista & my momma for taking care of me.
  • Our Christmas tree is up. It’s real. It’s pretty. I heart Christmas.
  • Had 2 Thanksgiving dinners already. Another one coming this weekend. I heart food.
  • TV? No time. But “Gossip Girl” still rules. Can’t wait til January.
  • Saw Kanye & T.I. on concert on Tuesday. I feel bitter. I feel inspired. I feel so amazing. And I feel like drinking patron on ice.
  • My favorite thing about Christmas shopping is gift wrapping. Yes I’m weird.
  • Bought the book “Twilight”. Haven’t read the first page yet. Only a jillion pages to go.
  • “Love Actually”. The must see movie during the holidays.
  • More Kim Le. Coming soon. =)

annia & jordan: wedding

December 5, 2008

“sea of love”

It was a bit windy on a Sunday late afternoon in November, but everything was perfectly set Annia & Jordan’s fabulous fall wedding. These two were so at ease the whole day. They knew that destiny was on their side and no force of nature could stop the union of this perfect pair. The ceremony & reception was held at the gorgeous Orange Hill Restaurant overlooking all of Orange County. Looking at my beautiful couple and then at the beautiful skyline, it was hard not to think how lucky I am to be doing what I am doing.

**Annia & Jordan – There are many things I can see from behind the lens. I see the way you look at each other and all the things left unsaid. You have natural beauty, incredible style and unconditional love – what more can you ask for?! I am honored to share in such a wonderful day for you and I look forward to many more beautiful moments. xoxo, Kim Le**

**Special thanks to my always trusty and talented second shooter Patrick Tio!!!

We start off the afternoon with some getting ready shots. Annia is naturally beautiful so it didn’t take much to get her ready!
