It has been quite cold (for Southern California standards–so it’s probably not that bad) lately.  But pair cold weather with warm emotions and lo and behold the holiday season has arrived.  While everyone was getting in line for some last minute shopping, Sunny and Brinton celebrated their wedding season by marrying this past Saturday in LA Koreatown among beloved friends and family.  

Usually when I show up for a 6:30am shoot at the salon the place has just opened and there’s only one or two people there, ready to make up the bridal party.  But when I got to Hills Beauty Club Salon there was another wedding party too, and the whole place was full of life, makeup and hairspray.  I hear this is the go-to place for the Korean Bridal Experience (caps because this is serious stuff!), and they did not disappoint.  Everyone looked ready for, well, a wedding.

The bridesmaids were practicing all day for their toasting speeches.  The ring bearer and the flower girl, brother and sister, were sharing orange tic tacs while Sunny and Brinton were exchanging their vows.  I saw rice cake from the early morning (a bridesmaid brought it for breakfast) to the reception.  Sunny and Brinton also memorized their vows, and the execution was perfect and heartfelt.  It’s these little details and so much more that makes their wedding unique and fun.
