I was thrilled when my co-work Riko asked me to be her wedding photographer. She and her gaigin boyfriend Bill are going to heat up Redondo Beach next month for their wedding at the Portofino Inn overlooking the gorgeous Pacific Ocean.
For the engagement sessions, we headed down to the unlikely urban setting of Pine Avenue at Long Beach for a steamy photo shoot.
Here’s my favorite shot.

But I also like this sultry looking shot by the train.

I’m really looking forward to seeing all of Riko’s friends at the wedding. I just hope the Harajuku girls don’t get too crazy.
