So Jess and I got married last May 10, 2008. She had her sister come to my room where I got ready to deliver my wedding gift to me. In the gift box she said I would have to wait but it would be worth it and she could not have been more right! I have been a big USC football fan for as long as I can remember. Growing up in CA I can hang my head in shame when I say I never made it to the Coliseum to see a game. You can imagine how excited I was when i saw tickets to the USC vs Cal game for November 8th!

We flew out early Friday morning and as luck would have it we forgot the single most important thing for the whole entire weekend, the game tickets! DOH! Well Jess’s mom came to the rescue and was able to send them out to us overnight and we had them at the hotel the very next morning and were off to meet my good friend Derek and some friends for some tail gating. What an experience of flying all the way to CA without the tickets and not knowing if they are even going to make it in time for us to go to the game!

Friday before the game Jess and I spent some time relaxing and walking around Venice Beach. There is actually a section for artists to show off their graffiti work and it is legal! Check out their information here. After we had our fill it was back to the hotel to get some sleep before the big game!

Before I get to the pictures I have to thank my beautiful wife for an amazing weekend and a truly perfect wedding gift. I couldn’t have thought of a better gift! Thank you!

When Jess and I met Kajal and Mayur just a few short weeks ago to do their engagement session it was a cold sunday morning. They braved the chilly weather and got some awesome pictures. The original plan for their wedding was to have it outdoors but they weren’t sure if the weather would hold out for them. As late as a few days before the wedding we were doubtful the weather would cooperate but boy did we have awesome weather for this beautiful ceremony on Saturday!

As the Barat was getting underway the gentleman leading the horse couldn’t help himself and he put on his boogie shoes just for a moment to get the celebration started right! Kajal and Mayur’s ceremony could not have been at a better time. Just as the sun was setting behind a small grove of trees the ceremony was wrapping up and we were going in for some fun at the reception. During the ceremony however, Kajal’s nephew wanted to be part of the action pretty badly as you can see him peering from between Mom and Dad! The reception provided no shortage of good times and dancing as the party was going on well after Jess and I wrapped up our night. Congratulations guys. Jess and I look forward to seeing the two of you grow together!
