Roberto & Parris - St John's Presbyterian Church - San Francisco

2008-12-05T10:36:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

This last week, Pye and Chris of Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles had the wonderful opportunity to head up to San Francisco and shoot the wedding of Roberto and Parris.

We started the day off with the bridal party shoot at San Francisco Park, which was quite easy to find, though a nightmare in terms of getting a parking spot. However, once we got setup Parris and her crew arrived right on time and we got the shoot started!

The bridal party shoot at San Francisco Park went amazingly well. Once we finished up the girls, we played a little logistics game making sure the groom didn't see the bride on her way out. Then we shot the boys. Both the boys and the girls had quite the creative poses, it is tough to say who won that game. But, you all can judge for yourself once the pictures are fully released.

After the San Francisco Park bridal shoot, we headed to St John's Presbyterian Church for the ceremony. It was a gorgeous chapel with a breathtaking setup inside as you can see in the pictures below. The ceremony was beautiful and afterwards the party got down and crazy at the Jewish hall across the street.

Might we say that we have never seen a bridal party that dances as well as this one! Anyway, it was a blast spending the day with Parris and Roberto, we wish the best in their journey together as husband and wife!

Enjoy the pics

Dan & Christine's Wedding - St Lawrence Martyr Catholic Church - Rancho Palos Verdes

2008-11-19T15:55:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone,

This is Pye with Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles. Last Saturday we shot the wedding of Dan & Christine over in Rancho Palos Verdes at the St Lawrence Martyr Catholic Church.

After the wedding at the chapel, we headed out in the limo and shot some lovely couples shots at Point Vicente, before heading to the Cheescake Factory for the reception.

Beautiful weather, gorgeos locations, and great people that we had a chance to meet and hang out with all day. To Dan & Christine, congratulations and thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!

P.S. Might we just say, we are definately voting for Randy in 2010

Ryan and Ayu's Wedding - Redondo Beach Historic Library

2008-11-13T21:03:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone, this is Justin from Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles.

Last month we had the opportunity to capture Ryan and Ayu's beautiful wedding at the Los Angeles LDS temple. Ryan and Ayu are naturals in front of the camera as you've probably noticed from their engagement session at griffith park. In addition the guests had so much fun and laughter it made for excellent images.

Here are some of my favorites from the event

...preparation shots of the bride before heading over to the Redondo Beach Historic Library

The Redondo Beach Historic Library is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the south bay of Los Angeles with large windows and stunning archways.

The first kiss

After the ceremony we headed down to Redondo Beach to catch the sunset

Nothing like a good 'ol game of footsies on the beach

Back at the Redondo Beach Historic Library we had dinner...

some breakdancing...

bouquet tossing...(look at them fight for position!)

and an ESPN highlight catch for the bouquet.

Ryan and Ayu thank you so much for letting us share your special day with us. You know we have much love for you and truly wish you two the best.

Jamshid's 50th Birthday - Beverly Hills

2008-11-09T12:36:00.001-08:00

Hey everyone!

This is Pye (Payam) of Lin and Jirsa Photography Los Angeles. This past Saturday on the 1st, I had the opportunity of shooting Jamshid Ebrahimi's 50th birthday party out in Beverly Hills. The party was a blast and lasted until 4 in the morning!

There was so many great pictures from the event that it was hard selecting only a few for the blog! For all the guests, be sure to check out all of the pictures once they are released because there are over 900 great shots!

On behalf of Lin and Jirsa Photography, a big congratulations go out to Jamshid on his 50th. Jamshid, Shada and Family, you guys are a wonderful family and I loved hanging out with you all! Thank you to everyone at the event, you guys were all amazing and tons of fun.

Enjoy the pictures!

Johnny & Keelee

2008-11-06T11:55:00.000-08:00

If you would like to see the rest of the images, please email me at chris@linandjirsa.com

.... the fisheye view

In another room of the Corona Del Mar, CA house ... the bride, Keelee Ruark was getting ready for her big wedding day.

In yet another room of the same Corona Del Mar house, the groom, Johnny Bledsoe was also getting ready

the wedding ceremony was on the beach in Corona Del Mar

.. it was an emotional moment for everyone involved.

The party moved to the same Corona Del Mar, CA house where the guests were waiting for the bridal party to enter

... toasts

Soheil & Nancy Engagement Shoot

2008-10-24T17:40:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, this is Pye with Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles,

This past week we had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. For both Chris and myself, this was our first trip to Cabo and might I say it was a blast! We shot the wedding of Soheil Pourat and Nancy Rodriguez, our clients and now good friends! They were both tons of fun and they are a wonderful couple.

For their engagement shoot on Friday, we hung out with Soheil and Nancy for a good part of the day. We started the shoot in their hotel, Hotel Riu Palace, which was as big as it was gorgeous. Unbeknown to us, the Hotel Riu actually has 2 distinct resorts located on the same property. So we got quite lost walking around the place until we realized that their wedding was actually at Hotel Riu Palace vs Hotel Riu Santa Fe, meh… it was a good work out anyway.

Anyway, the Hotel Riu Palace was gorgeous, in fact we could have done the entire engagement shoot at the hotel and still not even scratched the surface of all the cool areas there were to shoot. But, at Chris’ brilliant urging, after about an hour of shooting at the Hotel Riu, we took a glass boat taxi off to Lover’s Island which is at the southern-most tip of Cabo. I think everyone would agree that the boat ride was a blast and the scenery was gorgeous.

Well everyone, enjoy the pics. Nancy and Soheil, you guys are awesome and we wish you the best!

Husbands & Dads

2008-10-06T09:37:00.000-07:00

This is Pye with Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles,

One of our close friends, Cory Huff, started a great new blog called Husbands & Dads. The blog features wonderful articles that give wholesome advice on being a father and a husband. We figure since all of our clients-friends are newly weds, or are getting married, that perhaps they may find the site quite useful, hehe.

So, drop on by and have a look. You can click the picture above, or this link here.

Chris and James

2008-09-29T18:41:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone this is Justin from Lin and Jirsa wedding photography of Los Angeles. We had a great time this past weekend in San Clemente with the Barkers. All the guests were so easy going and the Bride's mother was especially kind to us.

Chris and James were such a fun couple so we wanted the photo's to reflect their personality.

Here are the boys

When it was time to do some couple shots we started with a few classic shots

but then Derek Zoolander decided to crash the party

next thing we knew the shoot moved to the floor

Chris and James posed so naturally that we really didn't have to say much

Chris and James thank you so much for letting Harrison and I be a part your big day. We had so much fun with you and your guests. Best wishes to the Barker family!

Dan & Christine Engagement Shoot

2008-09-28T16:49:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone,

This is Pye with Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles, this past Friday we had a lovely shoot with Dan and Christine who are getting married quite soon! They are a cute couple with 3 cute dogs. In fact, we even stuck around there house for a bit to shoot them with their dogs before we went out for our official shoot.

While our original plan was to head to San Pedro Park, this was the first time that our plans had to be changed due to fog and wind. Between the thick fog and crazy wind making a mess of our couple's hair, we decided it would be better to shoot in a park on the other side of the hill where we were at least somewhat protected.

Anyway, the shoot went wonderfully, I think Dan and Christine are going to have a hard time trying to find out which picture to use since there are so many great ones. Congrats guys, we are stoked for the wedding!

Mark & Lindsay Engagement Shoot

2008-09-21T20:36:00.001-07:00

Hey guys, this is Pye from Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles.

This past Thursday we had the lovely opportunity to spend an evening with Mark and Lindsay. A gorgeous couple getting married summer of 2009. Between hanging out, we did manage to fire off a few engagement shots and here they are =).

Our only complaint was that almost every picture was blogworthy. We managed to cut it down a bit, but still, this is going to be a big blog entry. I think this can be attributed to having a beautiful couple, gorgeous setting, and of course, the best photographers if I do say myself, haha!

Anyway, congrats guys! We can't wait to shoot the wedding next year.

Here is the cute couple in the Lin and Jirsa-mobile as we are just getting our day started. Way to sneak one in there Mark!

What a coincidence, they are selling tickets to... wait... your wedding!

That pose looks familiar... hey wait...

Mark laying Lindsay down ever so gently on her head, haha, classic.

That's right, we caught you breaking the law! J-walking, tisk tisk... but, then I guess we had to j-walk to get across the street to snap the shot, hehe.

What a wonderful coincidence to find a mural that was the exact same colors as what the couple was wearing!

Its not a beach shoot unless you actually get some beach shots, and man, we got some cool ones!

Yeah, its pretty funny when Pye get's soaking from an incoming wave isn't it!

K, both Lindsay and Mark are quite athletic, but are you serious! Backflipping?

Nothing like graffitti to set the mood.

Eric & Kris - 9.20.08

2008-09-21T01:14:00.000-07:00

This is Pye from Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography Los Angeles

Congratulations go out to our family Kris & Eric Lin,

Tonight they were both married in the First Presbyterian Church in Santa Ana. We are so happy for them and wish them all the best. Lin and Jirsa Photography was not able to shoot the event since two of the master photographers, Justin and Chris were both in the wedding. But, Pye did snap up a few shots during the ceremony before getting low low low low on the dance floor.

The chapel was quite beautiful

Kris just happened to spot Pye running around the balcony shooting. Bad Kris, pay attention to your wedding!

Chris Lin, master photographer, is also quite the singer in case you didn't know.

Kris' mother and family, you can tell how happy they are for Kris & Eric.

What a gorgeous couple.

Steve Wood, a close childhood friend of Eric, taking the stage to give his speech.

Jenny Lin's turn to take the stage

Eric giving a very touching and heartfelt wedding vow.

Mama Lin looks so happy.

We all knew Kris would cry when it was time for her vows, it was just a matter of sprinting to the other side of the balcony to catch it!

The exchanging of the rings.

While the ceremony was going, these lovely flower girls had other important work to be done.

Congratulations Mister and Misses Lin!

Pye and Justin don't get the chance to kiss Eric often, so when the opportunity arose, they pounced on it. Nice shot Chris.

The venue was quite amazing, here is the bride and groom's table and their cake behind.

The cake was so gorgeous it almost didn't even look real.

Soteris & Jaime

2008-09-03T11:49:00.000-07:00

Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography of Los Angeles recently had the opportunity to head up to Santa Barbara to shoot the wedding of Soteris and Jaime. The location was gorgeous and the Greek Orthodox ceremony was amazing.

Soteris and Jaime, you guys are beautiful together. We had a blast hanging out with you and shooting you during your special day. Enjoy your pictures!

All the best,

Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography, Los Angeles

Dave & Laura

2008-08-26T12:35:00.000-07:00

Justin here from Lin and Jirsa Photography Los Angeles. Dave and Laura chose to get married in the San Diego LDS temple. This temple is probably one of the most unique and beautiful LDS temples ever constructed.

The rings and the date just so Dave won't forget the anniversary. Just kidding Dave I know you're responsible but just in case you forget...

here's another memory cue. Remember Beijing 2008.

For the preparation shots Chris and I split up. I had fun hanging out in the bathroom with Laura and Mom.

Onto Dave...

Here they are exiting the San Diego temple. I love how happy they look.

Family and friends linked hands and as Dave and Laura walked by they let go and threw their arms up in the air.

Onto to the formals and behold....King Dave!!!

More fun during the formals...

While I was doing the formals chris got some fun shots with the boyz.

Now for some Dave and Laura alone time at the temple...

After the temple Dave and Laura had a ring ceremony. Their flower girl was the cutest little girl ever.

During the reception Laura did a little surprise traditional Hawaiian dance for Dave

cutting the cake and...

let the battle begin!!!

Some details shots during the reception

This little guy was hiding behind the table eating all the dessert

Bouquet toss...

Dave and Laura we had a great time documenting your wedding. Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day.

Tania & Bardia

2008-08-25T19:26:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, Lin and Jirsa Photography captured the fun yet classy engagement party of Tania and Bardia in Beverly Hills. The entire party was so much fun, with eating, chatting, and of course, dancing. Thank you for letting us be a part of such an exciting night; and we hope you enjoy your pictures!

before the guests arrived....

at the bar...

the beautiful Tania ...

Alex & Rachel

2008-08-25T17:27:00.000-07:00

Lin and Jirsa photography had the opportunity to travel from Los Angeles to Utah for Alex and Rachel's wedding this past month. Alex and Rachel were so easy to photograph because of how naturally they posed together. For this event we brought out our two new members of the Lin and Jirsa team: Jake and Jennie. The two them had an ongoing competition of who could get the best shot of each other in between shots of Alex and Rachel. I think Jennie won.

Day Before the Wedding Shoot: Springville Museum of Art

Here is a classic black and white photo of our lovely couple...

Rachel has one of the most beautiful smiles aka: million-dollar smile, aka: I can get anything from Alex as long as I smile

We found this cool little structure behind the main shoot location and found some great framing opportunities.

Wedding Day: Salt Lake City Temple

The Salt Lake City temple is perfect building structure for photography. Constructed in 1847 it has six large granite spires that give it an extremely majestic feel.

We had a fun time planning their exit from the temple. Here I am following them out while her bridesmaids prepare to open the door.

Jen took the South side of the exit and...

got this shot of the couple as they came out while...

Jake was stationed on the North side of the exit and...

captured this image of our lovely couple while...

I ran out in front of them and snapped this photo of the couple.

To capture multiple perspectives on one scene requires a lot of planning and coordination but as you can see in the end it's worth it. We love putting these shots together on a single spread in albums. It just adds so much to the story.

So we thought it would be fun if we asked the guests to create this little tunnel for Alex and Rachel.

After navigating through the gauntlet the couple and the guests were on the way to group formals...

Sometimes the best photos come about from transitions from one scene to another such as this one when Alex said: "Hey this is my new wife ain't she a beauty?" (ok maybe he didn't say that but doesn't it look like it?)

"I can't believe we're married!!!"

stunning couple + stunning doors = stunning photo

the grandparents...

Alex's niece was absolutely adorable! She had thing for grabbing noses. First victim: Alex

Second Victim: Grandpa Tolman

Alex and Rachel's number one fan...

pondering deep thoughts alone on the stairs...

Shaun: "Bridesmaids check me out!"

We decided to make the group formals a little more interesting by asking all the gentleman to give their ladies a kiss on the cheek

from the mouth of Alex: "My People!"

The Lin and Jirsa team doing that multiple perspectives thing again...

Very funny Jake...

Ryan & Aiyu

2008-08-15T19:00:00.001-07:00

Hey guys, this is Chris from Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography, Los Angeles. I must say, that there is so much to do and so many places to visit in Los Angeles that sometimes the best locations stay hidden treasures. Anyway, this week Lin and Jirsa Wedding Photography had the chance to shoot Ryan & Aiyu at the Griffith Park Observatory. This was actually our first time shooting the location, and we can confirm, it is definitely a hidden treasure. So, Congratulations Ryan and Aiyu. We can't to be a part of your big day.

Rajeev & Neha

2008-08-13T18:12:00.001-07:00

The past weekend was busy for Lin and Jirsa Photography of Los Angeles, as we were in Las Vegas on Friday for a wedding and in Fullerton Saturday for an engagement party. Rajev, Neha, and their families and friends were very friendly, accommodating, and fun; and we can't wait for their wedding in November. Congratulations! You two are wonderful!

The anticipation of her fiance and his family to arrive.....

Rajev and his family turned the entire block into a big party.

The block was full of smiles, hugs, and dancing..

However, not everyone was as smiley... especially this young man, who apparently was angry at dad's neck.

While we were waiting for the fiance and his family to arrive, we had a chance to capture some artistic shots featuring Neha's beautiful body art, amazing jewlery, and stunning facial features.

After partying in the streets, the families finally came inside; and Neha elegantly decended from the stairs.

More smiles...

... but this guy apparently dislikes partying

... traditional music and ceremonies began

... and more dancing

... at the end of the night, we were able to capture some intimate moments between the soon-to-be bride and groom

Thanks for letting us be a part of your big day. We had an amazing time.

8.8.08 - Alwin and Jackie!

2008-08-12T01:32:00.001-07:00

This past Friday, Lin and Jirsa Photography of Los Angeles took a road trip down to the coolest desert in the world. That's right, Vegas baby! We had the opportunity of shooting the wedding reception for a wonderful couple, Alwin and Jackie.

Everyone knows that 8.8.08 is supposed to be a very lucky date in Asian cultures. Though, we don't think Alwin and Jackie will need any of that luck to have a long and happy marriage. They were such a great couple, and we had a blast shooting them!

To Jackie and Alwin, we hope that you like your pictures and we wish you both the best! Oh, and you guys throw sick parties =).

Loved the table arrangments and place settings. Definatley first class.

Those little boxes were really cute, wonder if they had anything inside of them?

What a lovely hand signing the guest registration book. No but seriously, that is a really good looking hand, maybe you should consider being a hand model =).

Ahh yes, Alwin and Jackie, you guys knew how to kiss. Sorry... I will wait for you to stop... ok, you guys really knew how to kiss, haha.

Pye thought it would be fun to snag a quick fisheye snapshot of the beautiful couple at their table.

Man, he just looks like he belongs behind that mic doesn't he?

You guys are a gorgeous couple!

I sense another kiss coming.

Wait for it... wait for it...

Chris' angle of the first dance with Dad, what a precious moment.

Pye's angle of the first dance with Dad, a little more close up.

Ahhh, yes, and now for the back rub session.

You guys both have the most wonderful smiles.

The surprise song for Alwin, Jackie, you are quite the singer by the way. We were definitely impressed.

Enjoy the attention Alwin, cause this will probably be the last time several women pay you to dance with them...

Let the dancing begin.

That's just gangsta.

Look at the anticipation for the garter toss.

Garter comes off, and now it goes back on. Not before some sweet dance moves though.

The boys being the boys.

Josh & Cheyenne

2008-07-24T19:53:00.001-07:00

Last weekend, Lin and Jirsa Photography had the privilege of shooting Josh & Cheyenne's wild engagement party in the Hollywood Hills. The very photogenic couple definitely knows how to throw a crazy party, with a cool black and white theme and plenty of outgoing and fun guests.

(The following images are low resolution images posted for the purpose of previewing the images taken at the event. Full resolution images will be available at the end of the week).

Believe it or not, this was their cake

Better late than never :) the couple definitely made an entrance.

Steppin in the name of love

Vicky & Doan

Jack and Miki Engagement Session

2008-07-07T23:33:00.001-07:00

This week we shot Jack and Miki, a wonderful couple that we met through our friend Sulmo. The shoot started off quite normal, and then took a turn for the soaking wet about half way through! But, even though nature wouldn't cooperate with us, Jack and Miki were tons of fun and looked beautiful, both dry and wet.

Such a great looking couple! Justin's quite the "artiste" when it comes to seeing and using our environments with the couple.

Ahhh, nothing like the black and white to bring out a bit of extra cuteness.

Jack did get a bit of a crazy-psycho-killer look in his eye, so we decided to move them closer to the water to try and cool him off a bit.

Ahh yes, the soothing sound of the ocean. Jack was much more relaxed at this point.

And if that doesn't relax you, nothing like standing right on the edge of a rock where the ocean breeze can softly kiss your face.

Little did we know that the ocean felt like kissing some face as well.

Ahh yes, Jack if you weren't calm and cool before, you sure are now!

Chris had the nice close up on the action. It really was a ton of water!

Ahhh, yes, now that moment was truly priceless.

Both Jack and Miki were quite the troopers! They got changed and it was back to work!

All dried off (well almost) and looking awesome!

Can never go wrong with a lovely set of hands.

The weather made for some really cool dramatic effects! It wasn't sunny like expected, but we the masters were there to make it look awesome anyway! haha, jk.... kinda.

We told them to just relax for a second here while we prepped. Pye sneakily snuck off this shot. What a nice moment.

We love your smiles! You guys look gorgeous! Who are your photographers? haha

The last shot of the night, such a photogenic couple. You guys were awesome!

Paul and Mallori

2008-06-09T17:03:00.001-07:00

Mo and Anna

2008-05-21T16:17:00.000-07:00

Oh the glory days of college...this shoot Mo decided to take Anna back to campus where Mo was able to develop into the fine man he is today.

As for the shoot it was amazing. As you can see they were both extremely photogenic and very natural in front of the camera. This campus is a photographers playground. Around every corner there were numerous opportunities to shoot creatively. All in all we had a great time.

Landon And Melanie - Santa Monica Pier Engagement Shoot

2008-05-12T17:51:00.001-07:00

Here are some of our latest photos. We started the day on the Santa Monica Pier playing games and taking pictures. Justin and I (Chris) took these pictures, as Pye was out sick (i.e. at home playing XBox).

Close to the parking lot, there's a wall of art that makes a dope backdrop for unique pictures.

Of course, every engagement shoot needs a few portraits

Yes, any pro photographer would know that he wouldn''t actually take a self portrait with a DSLR and an L lens (and besides, the trigger is on the other side of the camera), but we think it's a cool idea anyway.

On our way out, we found this unique, dark, and kinda creepy tunnel underneath the pier and decided that it would be a great location for some cool shots

I decided to play around with some plug ins in photoshop. This particular one is "Nik color efex pro 2.0: traditional: - pro contrast"

This one is "Nik color efex pro 2.0 stylizing filter: polarizing filter - cool ice"
