Karen and Conor, 8.13.06











Karen and Conor got married at the LA River Center and Garden (a place where I just love to shoot). It's this really weird little spot in the middle of East LA. Karen is a designer and everything from the programs to the table settings were just fabulous and totally original - as was her dress - I have a personal affinity for the sash. Conor is Irish....and yes, LOVES to drink as do his brothers who were his groomsmen. What I loved about this wedding was the very tasteful designer flair along with the mix of traditional Irish and Asian culture. "The Go To Gals" (Karri and Courtney) were the coordinators and the did a great job. I'll be working with them again at Debra and Nate's wedding August 26th.

Karen and Conor had a music set by Taiko drummers, an Irish folk band as well as a DJ. One of the greatest moments of the wedding was when Conor's grandfather got up to sing some old Irish fold tunes. The crowd went wild! All the folks from Ireland did the traditional dances and it was great to see Karen dancing them as well and the native guests trying to learn! I was inspired!

Oh, and I finally figured out how to add more than 5 images on this thing!
