Diana and Albert - los angeles, california


diana and albert's on-line proofing website

diana and albert started planning their wedding day, what seems like a life time ago, with one...maybe a couple things, but really , one thing on their minds. to celebrate everything "diana and albert". they, like a lot of us, live a very busy, high impact, fun filled life with family and friends and the most common denominator is L'chayim!

to witness diana and albert's wedding day is to participate in their life to which one would laugh, cry, yell out with excitement, love, be grateful, eat, dance, tell stories...oh, did i mention dance!? from the first dance of the bride and groom until they raised the lights to say goodnight everyone was dancing...and i mean everyone.

the whole day started for karen and i with a tribute editorial to diana's grandfather and his many talents that have shaped his family as well as the skyline of downtown los angeles.


the chance to make a time stamp of this family monument was unquestionably a very unique and memorable time in all of our lives. being surround by such awe inspiring buildings really made for some beautiful and unexpected backdrops that reminded us that "surprising things happen to us all at every corner."

the day turned quickly into night and we were amazingly transformed into another time when diana made her entrance into the temple. to say that her entrance didn't bring those present to their feet gasping at the sheer beauty of the moment would be an understatement. the service touched on the relationship of diana, albert and their families. what it meant traditionally and in the eyes of those she loved. the service was both inspiring and reflective of their past as well as such a great future with those that surround them.













i am drawn to beautiful light be it available or from a creative source. the attention to such a subtle accent sometimes brings heartfelt moments to center stage and can tug at your heart with a simple touch of light. being surrounded by their family and friends and their cameras, their videographer added for a beautiful backdrop when the couple took to the floor either on their first dance, when their favorite song beckoned their call or the father/daughter dance.







oh yeah, quick funny moment. diana and albert asked if they could take a picture with a few of their friends.

here, meet "a few of their friends". i love it! - lol
