akiko just graduated from pba. albert is still in chiropractic school. akiko and i booked over a year ago. it was a long wait:) they wanted to wait until she was finished with school so they could move to central florida together. she is from japan:) she is BEAUTIFUL; she has a quiet and accepting kindess, and a contagious giggle. albert is hopelessly in love with her…and recited his vows in japanese as akiko and her parents cried. the ceremony was BEAUTIFUL. i love these images…the day to me was so much about love and family, i hope it shows in what i captured. enjoy:)










Ben caught this of Albert and his brother getting ready together..

they chose to have a first look, which i LOVE. we were able to have plenty of picture time, and they were so glad to see each other and relax a bit before the ceremony:)


Ben shot this of Albert seeing her for the first time!




I usually dont love or post kissy shots…but this was is just so sweet. i give!







Akiko and her dad waiting to walk in…

Albert waiting with his brother and the pastor…





Another one of Bens that I love…Lenny singing in the ceremony.

My favorite of the day. I love the raw emotion of Akiko and her mother after the ceremony, as they watch Dad shed some tears…








Ben got this great shot of the exit!!
