The Kyoto Grand Hotel: Sarah and Hanan Part 2

Happy Monday!

As promised, here is part two of Sarah and Hanan's wedding in downtown Los Angeles at the Kyoto Grand Hotel. As you can see from these next few pictures, it truly was just a gorgeous day to be married. :)

To save you some time from scrolling down to the last post, here are all the fabulous vendors who helped make this day so special. And let's be honest, we've all been to weddings that have just been utter chaos. Then, and only then, can you recognize in a heartbeat the HUGE difference it makes by having an awesome team like these people!

Once again, I gotta give some major blog love to Henry Chen for the invite to this killer wedding!

The Kyoto Grand Hotel: Sarah and Hanan...Part One

Last Sunday I had the distinct pleasure of shooting with my friend and colleague, the one and only, Henry Chen! Close by his side and being totally awesome throughout the day was Jen Berry. Thank you Jen for all your help!

Our day started off in rainy downtown Los Angeles at the Kyoto Grand Hotel. Henry had been doing his rain dance all morning in the hopes that the ceremony would not be driven inside due to the weather! Either way though, Betty from Type A Planning had it figured out with a Plan "B' all ready to spring into action should mother nature get nasty. However, Henry's dancing must have paid off because the skies parted and we were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous afternoon with blue skies and not even a drop of rain!

The day could not have gone more smoothly. Both Sarah and Hanan were so much fun!! I had a blast hanging with the guys all morning and come ceremony time, we were ready to rock and roll!

As an observer watching their story unfold, I was in awe of the constant support, love, and energy Sarah and Hanan had around them throughout the entire day! Rain could have poured, flowers could have wilted, cakes could have fallen and yet something tells me that nothing would have been different about this day for anyone involved. This wasn't a party, this was a blessed union between two people who simply couldn't wait to commit their lives to one another, NO MATTER WHAT! From the moment he saw her, Hanan committed himself to never being without Sarah; I knew this day would be no different :)

I'll always remember this day for the culture, the celebration, the love, and last but not least...the dancing! Thank you to Henry for the invite!

I hope you enjoy! And as always, blog love is awesome, it keeps me postin' more!!
