Before I share a few images from Julia and Chris‘ rehearsal dinner, I want to take a moment to recognize Esther. She is one of the most amazing coordinators I have ever met. Not only did she handle the bilingual, bicultural ceremony with ease, but her constant smile and calm spirit also helped things run smoothly for everyone else. She was an absolute necessity to the rehearsal, the wedding… just everything!
Esther, it was such a privilege to work with you. I enjoyed all of our conversations from talking about locations and wedding topics to just talking as two moms. It’s not often that I feel after 24 hours like I’m talking with an old friend. Thanks so much for helping Julia and Chris to plan their unique and beautiful wedding day – your personal touch made it that much more fun for us to capture. We can’t wait to work with you again! Hopefully next time it will be in LA! ![]()

Here are some shots of Esther in action!




This was the entrance to the church where Julia and Chris were married. I just loved the blue accents!


Gorgeous!

Love this moment. ![]()

Chris actually warned us that he “doesn’t photograph naturally and/or well”. I think this proves him wrong.

This only happened for a split second, but it was just the sweetest thing!

Again… Chris, are you kidding me? You’re both great smilers! ![]()

Chris’ mom and sister – beautiful!


Our friends Nick and Jimae of Wilson Fotographie were in the wedding party and it was a lot of fun to talk shop and visit during our free time!


Last, but certainly not least, here’s a few from the Pae Baek practice after dinner!





Too much fun, Annie. You really captured the spirit of the rehearsal day and thank you for the great compliments to Esther, or Coordinator. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest soon!
awwwwww… thanks Annie for your sweet words! It was so fun working & chatting with you too! Julia, I look HUGE standing next to you! haha oh man…will I ever lose the postpartum weight! and I am writing this as I'm eating my chocolate chip ice cream!
Annie and I couldn't agree more with the other Annie's comments. Esther, you were terrific all weekend. I think we are very lucky to have found you. Speaking of lucky, from what I've seen so far, Annie and Toby did a great job of capturing the wedding's beautiful spirit. Thank you both very much for your hard work. Damn – tearing up again…
these are great! (O: What an exciting time… so much happiness. Can’t wait to see the wedding pics!
