🇺🇸Uncle Kyle for President (@kingtuffy ). 🇺🇸 We love you brotha, missing you and @shell.fm like crazy. Happy anniversary to us! 🍦Cover image of our neighborhood ice cream truck hangin’ outside our wedding day house party by @katchsilva . 🎥 by @annievvendland , looking out for the us with her iPhone footage ❤️❤️❤️

🌹OH, you don't think we would ever forget about thanking you @butch.bastard ? The MVP of our wedding day. Our very excellently ordained friend who went above and beyond in writing our ceremony and brought it all home for us. (IG wouldn't let me post this video clip with the other photos, so you receive your own post, which is cool, it is very deserved). I emoted so hard, I cried off my fake eyelashes. RIP professionally applied eyelashes, you didn't stand a chance. Ian, you have imprinted in us in a way you will never know and we will hold these memories dear 'til the day we die. 🌻Cover image of @ariibiird ’s giant flowers by @katchsilva 🎥Video shot by @annievvendland ❤️

🎺HAPPY 1ST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO US @biglukethomas ! 🎺 A year ago yesterday, we got married in our front yard and had a house party to celebrate. We still feel the joy of this day. Thank you to our friends and family for giving us more memories to layer over all the other memories that make this home special to our young family. 🎞️This is a mash of photos taken by our wedding photographer @katchsilva who shot both with film and digital, super-8 footage by @bleudude , extra lowkey snaps by @shanepang + @calebkaay + @oldemanopie , and all our other beautiful friends/family who happily photographed each other with our disposable cameras! Life is short, we will take ALL THE MEMORY TRIGGERS, thank you! 💐And more thanks to @ariibiird for the giant flower bouquet that she fabricated and installed just for us! 🌮And @villastacoslosangeles for feeding us SO GOOD. Best food at a wedding ever. AND HOW ABOUT THAT FIRST PHOTO!! Disposable camera photo by the talented @abbaphone 💥 Abby is magic.

💥A quick break from editing to share with you another wedding I shot, this time of Daniela & Evan. Small ceremony with only immediate family attending at Pasadena City Hall, followed by dinner at @mussoandfrankgrill . Old L.A., in film and digital, all day every day. 🍸🍸🍸 #losangelesweddingphotographer #weddingphotojournalism #filmweddingphotographer

SUSAN APARICIO, “Millions of Dreams Ago” UCLA Planetarium This was a very special project that I am thankful to have been asked to document for Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) @nomadicdivision . I found myself very emotional when sitting with this piece, humming around it in the dark with my camera, with the aim to capture its essence for archival purposes. Read more about this work below ⤵️ 2025 Mohn LAND Grant recipient Susan Aparicio (@susanaparici0 ) debuted her installation “Millions of Dreams Ago” at the UCLA Planetarium this fall. The multi-media installation brings together stained-glass sculptures and video, using the unique projecting capabilities of the planetarium to draw together narratives of familiar ties, memory, cosmic time, and diaspora. For “Millions of Dreams Ago”, a series of star-shaped stained-glass sculptures will mirror projected video onto the ceiling of the UCLA Planetarium, creating a constellation of moving images on the domed ceiling. The star-shaped projections are comprised of digitized home recordings of Aparicio’s family made between 1995 and 2005. During that period, her parents, aunts, and uncles were undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America, just beginning their lives in Los Angeles, specifically southeast LA, and living in apartments in Bell, CA. The projected video involves abstract glimpses into that time—parties, funerals, jokes, arguments, and their daily life and wonders. Aparicio brings these moments together to create a complex but intimate view of her family’s experience as young immigrants in Los Angeles. According to the artist, “The stars in this installation form a new constellation, mapping a family memory and story, connecting to how stars and constellations traditionally were used for storytelling and creating meaning.” “Millions of Dreams Ago” is commissioned by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and organized by Bryan Barcena (@bryan.barcena ), LAND curator-at-large.
