vendors
We've had the honor of being surrounded by so many wonderful people who are making this wedding possible, and it is our pleasure give them some well-desereved endorsement.
Allan Jay of Triversity Wedding Photography
We have loved every moment with Allan Jay and the crew at Triversity Wedding Photography. Allan delivers the highest quality photos with over 20 years as a wedding photographer, and his crew's signature "mahalo" vibe makes them a joy to work with. We both agree, Allan Jay is that really good friend who you just need to have shoot your wedding...you just haven't met him yet!
Hair & Makeup by Zenna Hodge
Zenna Hodge did Jasmine's hair and makeup for the engagement photoshoot and will be joining us again for the wedding. She is the perfect combination of artistic and meticulous, and her work is both beautiful and tasteful, as evidenced by our stunning engagement photos. Whether you're looking to beautify or zombify, we'd both highly encourage you to check out her work on Facebook and Instagram and contact her.

Mainland Catering
Losing our reception venue and caterer 6 weeks out from the wedding day probably should have been a devastating, chaotic turn of events and taken considerable time, energy, and money to put together so last minute. But thanks to Jayme at Mainland Catering, we had all the pieces in places in under 48 hours, all while staying at the same price point! Jayme is flexible, talented, and friendly, and we are so excited to have her (and her delicious cooking) at our wedding. Thank you again, Jayme!
Danny Tanaka of Gem Jewelers
Danny Tanaka is a diamond broker and jewelry designer in the LA area whose passion for jewelry is matched only by his passion for people. He guided Jonathan through the world of diamonds, and he custom-designed both the engagement ring and the wedding bands, blessing us both with timeless and unique pieces of art. With over 30 years in the business, he has the passion, skill, and connections to help you make the jewelry of your dreams. Please email Danny if you're interested in his services.
Videography by Randy May
Randy filmed the proposal and Jonathan's graduate conducting recital, and did a wonderful job on both. We are excited to have both his skills and his company at our wedding.
Special Thanks to Elena Bowman
A few months before we got engaged, Jonathan was catching up with Elena over coffee, and she graciously volunteered her help plan our wedding. Since then, she has taken on overseeing our decorations, arranging our flowers, making our cake - the list goes on! She's saved us so much time and stress, and has also been another reassuring and calming voice when we've needed it. Thank you so much from both of us, Elena!
