hollywood presbyterian church

I can’t even begin to tell you how in love I am with this couple.  I have so many amazing photos of them this has definitely been one of the hardest edits because they are just that fabulous!

Arami and Andy wed at the Hollywood Presbyterian Church on Jan 2, 2010.  You may remember this adorable couple from their engagement session back in August 2009.  Think they were hot then?  Just wait.

I couldn’t get over Arami’s beautiful shoes!  Andy’s almost a foot taller than her so she wanted something to give her a boost.  She told me she practiced walking around in them for hours prior to this day to make sure she could tolerate them all day.  She’s a total trooper!

Doesn’t Andy make such a handsome groom?

Andy and Arami are SO adorable together.  Not only are the absolutely beautiful, they are always laughing and having so much fun.  They aren’t afraid to jump and play and make silly faces.  Such a fantastic couple.

As if Andy and Arami aren’t sexy enough, of course we had to take some shots with their totally fun and fabulous wedding party.  One word for this group :: hot.

There were tears and lots of joy for these two.  Such a touching ceremony by their pastor, Dan Low.

Now onto the party hosted by The Bungalow Club.

Andy and Arami had so much entertainment for their guests.  They set up a laptop and a printer and guests would take photos and decorate album pages for their guestbook.  So clever!

Their DJ also had some really ridiculously silly games planned for them.  He had Arami leave the room and put  the groomsmen get on their hands and knees so that only their butts would be facing her when she came back in.  She had to pick her groom by his bum!  Of course she got it right.

Andy didn’t get off that easily, he had to be blindfolded and feel the arms of her bridesmaids to see if he knew which was his.  After some deliberation between Arami and her sister, he got it right too.

The fun and craziness wasn’t over!  Their DJ had couples line up to do an outrageous kiss that Arami and Andy had to copy exactly.  Hilarious.

The cake.  These two never cease to amaze me with their ridiculousness.  Very timidly, they started cutting the cake and the next thing I know they are covered in it.  How the camera and I escaped cake-less I’m not sure.

This wedding was unbelievable fun.  But it’s not over!  Andy and Arami held a Korean ceremony at the end of the night.  Photos of that to come in another blog post later this week.  Here’s one last look of Arami and all her beauty in her wedding dress.

    Of course I am bias in a sense that I know how hard it was to narrow down the images because there were SOOO many amazing ones. Way to go Shannon, I know that Arami and Andy are going to go insane for how many great shots! Love love!
