St. Vincent de Paul Church & Hilton Los Angeles Airport Wedding Photography | Brian and Erica

by Jenny on August 23, 2009

Brian and Erica met each other 8 years ago through their mutual friend, Jill. When Jill told Erica that someone named Brian is interested in meeting her, Erica was hesitant. She’s not ready to meet any boy right now, what if this boy breaks her heart? Erica pondered. She turned around and told Jill,  “I’ll go if you go, he’s your friend, I don’t want to make it hard on you.” And then, they met.  Jill didn’t have to stay for the whole evening as Brian and Erica were laughing and making small talks by the end of the night.

Brian, a San Diego/Los Angeles Wedding Photographer , is a dear friend of mine whom would do anything in his power to help his friends and family. He’s always full of life and laughter. When you put Brian and Erica together, Erica is Brian’s world, his focus. He’s attentive to her every need, and listens to what she says. He looks at her as she talks, and smiles, it wasn’t what she said that made him smile, but her, just her.

Erica was surrounded by her 11 beautiful bridesmaids, laughing and giggling.  This was the day of her wedding, but she was not nervous, she was having a good time. St. Vincent de Paul church and Hilton Los Angeles Airport Wedding Photography - Jenny Liu Photographer

Brian had one of his groomsmen dropped off a surprise present for Erica.  As she opened the present, I heard ” my Brian knows me !”   , he gave her jewelry from her favorite store.

It’s hard to catch Brian and Erica without their smiles. Perhaps when they see each other down the aisle…
