Wedding at the Universal Sheraton in Los Angeles.

The day was sunny and the drive to the hotel, where Nicole and Mike were going to get married, was very nice. As I arrived at the Universal Sheraton Hotel, in Universal City, I stopped and looked at the great view that this hotel has. Right as you park, you can see the complete valley. I took a few minutes to admire the day, by looking around, and I saw that it was perfect. I said to myself, “what a day to get married”. Then up I went to visit Nicole in her suite where she was waiting for me. As I arrived, the room looked so rad. Brown and blue colors all over the hotel; great decor and I loved it. Nicole was just finishing up with her makeup artist and looking beautiful!! I just can’t say enough about the beauty of brides, especially my brides!! ;) The dress, the shoes, the rings; breathtaking!! Mike and Nicole chose to see each other before the ceremony. It was a very special moment for Mike and Nicole because it was just the two of them. They decided to get married during the cocktail hour; yes!! This wedding was very special for Mike and Nicole because Mike’s nephew was the person that performed the ceremony; sweet, very sweet. The flamenco guitar played while the ceremony took place, then upstairs the mariachi was waiting for the grand entrance of the husband and wife. Later, during the dance with the parents, there was a very tender moment when Mike danced with his mother. That moment caused me to be really teary-eyed. Moments like this make me feel more alive because I love to be a witness of so much love among family members; it’s a great gift. Thank you Nicole and Mike for allowing me to be there to capture the moments with my camera. As always David you are a great friend thanks for coming a long.

Wedding at the Hyatt Hotel in Westlake Village

The wedding of Sheyla and Ben was a total success. They invited 50 of their closest friends and all of their family members to celebrate their marriage. The ceremony took place at one of my favorite places, the Hyatt Hotel in Westlake Village. The lobby was recently remodeled and they did a great job. When I arrived, Ben was ready to take his pre-wedding photos, so we started right away. We really enjoyed working with Ben, he is quite the model. After I finished with the grooms’ session, it was Sheyla’s turn. As I arrived at her suite, she was just finishing her hair and make-up, so I started photographing her dress, shoes, etc. Then it was show time!! Sheyla looked stunning in her dress and the hair and make-up artist did an outstanding and flawless job!! There is a moment that I want to share; when Emerson looked at his little sister for the first time, he cried. It was such a beautiful moment; it was just a split second so I was glad that I was there with my camera to be a witness of this special moment.
I was so happy to be there! Everything, the wedding, the reception, went as planned. The Malaver family definitely knows how to party. Everyone danced until the party was over. Sheyla’s ancestors are Colombian, just like my adorable husband. ;) The Cumbia was the most played music of the day, and wow!!, Sheyla dances like a pro. I sometimes found myself dancing too, but with the purpose of moving around the room so as not to miss a moment to snap a shot.
Emerson: I want to take a moment to thank you for all of your help in making sure that your sister looked as beautiful as she did on her wedding day. Thank you Emo!!
