Dennis and Abby – Kyoto Grand Hotel Los Angeles Wedding Photography

I have fallen in love with downtown LA. This wedding was held at the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens, which truly brings class and convenience on the wedding day.  Once I got used to where the elevators were, this day was a breeze.  It was hard to take a bad picture of these two.  Their wedding was beautiful and I hope my photography does it justice.  If you enjoyed these photos, please leave a comment in the comment box below.

Hey blog reader – are we friends on facebook?  Facebook is the place I am currently posting images to first, so to get the inside track, either friend me or like me (I don’ t like the term “liking”, but anyway…).  Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Note to photographers: This was my first wedding using the lightweight but impressively sharp Canon 85mm F/1.8.  The first one I got was a dud, but the replacement is working very well.  These are mostly shot at F/2.

We went to the Disney Concert Hall to take some wedding portraits.  Even in the worst light of the day, I love all the shots we got there.

I gotta say I LOVE these umbrellas!  The hotel has a Japanese theme, and these somehow fit in very well.

Note to photographers: I don’t have a dedicated macro lens.  I get all my ring shots with a 50mm F1.4 with a 25mm extension tube ($80).  It’s tough to use, but the results are amazing.  I do hope to get a dedicated macro lens.  Any suggestions?? (please respond in the comments below)
