Pocholo and Kate are meant to be together. Where she may be fiery, he’s calm. Where she may be impatient, he’s steady and receptive. Where he may be impassive, she’s animated. The way they complemented each other was so apparent to us when we shot their engagement photos so many months ago.

Their wedding had a classically beautiful feel to it, from the ceremony at the Immaculata at USD to the reception at The Prado at Balboa Park, so that influenced the approach Kirin and I took when we photographed them. Take a look for yourself…

Make Up Artist: Cherie & Co.
Ceremony Site: Immaculata, USD
Reception Site: The Prado

We knew Laurence and Cherryl were talented performers. They are  both active in the PASACAT, an organization dedicated to Filipino folk dances and music. What we didn’t realize was the extent of their talent. Laurence is an accomplished singer, and Cherryl comes from a family of performing artisits: her siblings, father and uncle are all dancers, singers and musicians. And they all showed off their talents at the reception!

The ceremony was held at the Immaculata at USD, and the reception was held at the Courtyard Marriott in Liberty Station. We love shooting at the Immaculata and at the Founder’s Chapel on that campus. That was the first time we’ve shot at Liberty Station, and we learned that that location had some good spots to shoot, also.

The whole day was just a feast for the eyes for Kirin and I. It was icing on the cake that Cherryl and Laurence are such cool people, too. Here’s to you, guys!

This is just a gorgeous image of Cherryl by Kirin.

Kudos to our good friend John of NR3 for suggestion this bridge by the Marriott for wedding party shots.
