Ryan and I have been blessed to work with wonderful coordinators in some of our past weddings. One in particular, was the one who got me and Ryan into wedding and event photography. That person is my good friend, Ester Vasquez with “By Invitation Only”. I can’t thank her enough for her encouragement and faith in us! She was the one who started it all for us. Ate Ester still does some events but because she has become more involved in planning our locale’s functions for church, wedding and event coordinating is not in the top of her list. So for the couples who are still able to get her to coordinate their weddings, YOU.ARE.EXTREMELY.LUCKY!
Another coordinator we’ve been blessed to work with is Allan Arceo. He coordinated the wedding we photographed last Saturday and he did a tremendously, wonderful job! I remember the first time I noticed his creativity and talent in putting things together. It was during my friend Vanessa’s Debut party. His details in creating the candles and props for the performances made Vanessa’s party unique and something unforgettable.
Yesterday, Ryan and I met with Caroline Chang. She is the event coordinator for Serenity Events as well as a co-editor for a new magazine called, “Serendipity“. It is the first and only bridal magazine to cater to Asian brides in Southern California. She talked about her plans with the magazine and how the first issue has already been printed! If you’d like a copy of it, contact her or you can click HERE. Caroline told us that this magazine will be issued twice a year, but hopes to get more issues out in the near future… Truthfully, I think it’s going to be a success and it was an honor to have met with her.
If you’re looking for coordinator(s), here are my recommendations! Ester Vasquez is located in Long Beach, CA. Allan Arceo is located in San Diego, CA and Caroline Chang is located in Cypress, CA. I truly believe in wedding coordinators and they are definitely a photographer’s best friend! They make sure your event goes smoothly so you can enjoy every bit of your special day! Now who wouldn’t want that??? If I were to get married to Ryan again, I would definitely hire a wedding coordinator. Please contact me if you need any of their contact information!
And since a post is always better with photos, here is the cover of the Serendipity Magazine.
