Leonid Meteor Shower 2009

Leonid Meteor Shower Photos

Night photography and the Leonids!  It’s been almost eight years since I actually watched a meteor shower.  So when I found out the Leonids were going to rain fire late last night, I grabbed the beanie & the thermal mug and ran out with the camera in hand.  Haha, it’s been a while since I’ve stayed up into the early hours of the night aimlessly but it was a lot of fun.  Never shot the stars or a meteor shower before…maybe I’ll have to make a habit of this.  I have a ton of wedding photos to post, but thought I’d share this with you in the meantime.

Hah, my photo reminds me of the mac desktop image.

Bernice: beautiful! I remember the last time I saw the showers, I think you were with us too, in HK on the rooftop of the Shaw buildings!

cammie: Love it ~!

Destination Wedding Photography

The bags are packed, batteries charged, mem cards cleared…I’m ready to hit the airport for Lyndsey & Josh’s Alabama southern comfort destination wedding!  They’re taking it back to where they met in college.  I’ve got the gear snuggly jammed into my carry-on cases and I’m ready to roll!  I’ll be out this weekend in the South, if you need anything email me and I’ll get back to all of you soon.  I’m excited about this wedding, it’s going to be beautiful!  Keep your fingers crossed for gorgeous weather.

The Walt Disney Concert Hall has got it going on!  Reflective surfaces, flower gardens, views of Downtown LA and an amazing awe-inspring Frank Gehry designed structure …it’s perfect for weddings!  Diana & Luis had nothing short of a perfect wedding!  I had the honor of photographing and capturing their wedding at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and it was absolutely beautiful.  Congratulations on the married life and I wish you the best.  Here are just some of the photographs from the day here and there will be more to come shortly!

Before heading to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, I met Diana at her room in the Biltmore Hotel.

It was a gorgeous day for a wedding.  The sun was shining, the skies were covered in blue and the Walt Disney Concert Hall was the perfect backdrop for the wedding…you couldn’t ask for more out of a wedding!  It was spot-on gorgeous.

Picking up from the last post of Walt Disney Concert Hall wedding photography images, here are the remainder from the wedding day.  It’s always a lot of fun photographing weddings at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, but what makes it better is working with amazing people like Diana & Luis.  They say you are your company, and with that, everyone at the wedding rocked.  They were all such happy and great people, it’s an excellent reflection of both Diana & Luis.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding day, here are the photos!

I love this last photo.  The romantic emotion it evokes pretty much sums up the entire feel of the wedding day at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Kate F.: Hello Harrison, These are beautiful photos! Do you know what time of the day they had their wedding at the WDCH? My fiancee Ryan and I are thinking of having our wedding there next summer, and we're trying to think of the best time of day to have it. We are amateur photographers and understand the importance of lighting! PS What are your rates? -Kate

admin: Thanks Kate for the kind words! Mid-afternoon light is lovely for this place, it makes the pictures really shine! I just sent you an email, I look forward to talking more with you.

Annie: LOVE the last photo...picture perfect moment between the couple. I love them all!

Katie: It does look like it's out of a magazine spread! Great couple!!
