Highschool Sweethearts_Vivian Lin Photo-35Spending the afternoon with Will and Jheralyn was like a trip down their memory lane.  These two lovebirds have been dating since high school, with memories of shyly checking each other out, passing notes, and going to prom.  They had even brought along an engraved treasure box Will had given Jheralyn, filled with all their high school memories.  We started at the Edendale, this former fire station turned into a charming bar.  I was like a kid in a candy store, each room had so much character. Next, we were off to UCLA, where Will and Jheralyn both went for their undergrad. Hooray for first loves who are finally tying the knot this May!

In addition to loving my life as a wedding photographer, I also teach photography at Pasadena City College.  As a teacher, I tell my students the importance of maintaining and updating their websites, to be aware of consistency and quality, and that having an updated portfolio is like having a current resume.  I’ve been guilty of not following my one advice, so this March, I’ve taken a pause from the blog in attempt to do all of the above.  It’s been several years since I’ve taken a hard look at my website, and it’s time for a reboot!  Be on the lookout for when the new and greatly improved http://www.vivianlinphotography.com goes up!

In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite shots from yesterday’s Echo Park engagement session.

LA River Garden Center Wedding_Vivian Lin Photography_01I adored Joyce from the moment I met her.  Well-spoken, thoughtful, and kind (not to mention beautiful!) I thought her fiance was a lucky man.  I didn’t get to meet Anthony until the engagement session, since he lives all the way in Minnesota.  And when I met Anthony, I thought Joyce was just as lucky!  Anthony is sweet, romantic, patient, and good-natured.  I knew all this from my relatively brief time with them.  Their friends and family have always known this, and really made them the stars of the day.  From their phenomenal grand entrance, to being carried on shoulders countless times, to the moving speeches, their community came together and truly celebrated the awesomeness that is Joyce and Anthony.LA River Garden Center Wedding_Vivian Lin Photography_02 LA River Garden Center Wedding_Vivian Lin Photography_03 LA River Garden Center Wedding_Vivian Lin Photography_04 LA River Garden
