  • Serves El Monte, CA

Hi, I'm Pan, a live wedding artist based in Southern California. I create live watercolor/oil/acylic paintings at weddings, capturing the emotion of your ceremony as it unfolds in real time. By the end of your reception, you walk away with a one-of-a-kind original artwork, painted on your wedding day, in the room where it happened. I trained at the USC Roski School of Art and have had the privilege of painting at weddings across California, Hawaii, and New York. My style blends soft, luminous washes with careful attention to the details that make each couple's day their own.

The watercolor style is so dreamy and romantic, it looks like a scene from a movie. Every time I walk past it I’m back at our wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Second Song and specifically DJ Mac DJ our wedding. We had SUCH a blast at our wedding and heard after the fact from many people what a blast they had and how they couldn't ever leave the dance floor when constant hits were playing. Mac was so easy to work with and personable, and his charisma shined on our wedding day without ever taking away from anything. He was great at keeping up the energy. As the bride, I danced practically the entire time. He also did an excellent job with the sound set up for our ceremony. We also really liked working with Second Song in general - they made selecting a DJ easy and their music planner was super helpful. I'd highly recommend Mac and Second Song!

We loved working with Crystal and her team for our big Persian wedding at the Nixon Library! Crystal and her team made sure everything went smoothly for everyone. They are so professional and calm. We had several helpful and effective meetings beforehand to confirm our vendors and wedding schedule. They have amazing communication and respond right away when you have a question, and also advocated for things we wanted or needed from the venue. We also did our signage and photobooth through Crystal rose events and I couldn’t be happier. Without their dedication and hard work, we would feel lost throughout this process.

10/10 Nick and I had the pleasure of working with Lulan and Sarah on our wedding day. They were exactly on time and prepared. They were so attentive, patient, and responsive to us. Never intrusive or demanding. Their direction felt very easy and natural; it made the unnatural process of taking hundreds of photos feel so seamless and easy. I loved that they took advantage of the space and venue. They have such a fantastic eye for composition and scale - my favorites are the wide shots that capture the cityscape behind. Their photos feel so timeless but fitting for the venue. We could not be happier with the results. I could not recommend Lulan and his team more.

Tiffany was the best! I was recommended Tiffany by another friend who used her for her makeup for her wedding and I’m so glad I did. She was so communicative and so timely in her responses! And she really heard me when I told her what I wanted and emphasized how important to me my freckles are and letting them shine through the makeup. She found the perfect partner for my hair styling, and I truly felt so so beautiful on my wedding day. I looked in the mirror and exclaimed how much I really felt like a bride after finishing in the chair. Compliments all night from guests and it looks so good in makeup. She also handled the moms and bridesmaids makeup so well, everyone looked so gorgeous.

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Working with Carissa was an absolute dream! I honestly can’t imagine planning our wedding, or enjoying the day itself, without her. She was beyond detail-oriented, kind, patient, and creative! She handled so much behind the scenes that I would never have been able to manage on my own. Carissa created such a detailed timeline that even our reception venue, who has seen plenty of weddings, was impressed. Everything ran so smoothly, and Carissa was so on top of vendor communication that she took a huge burden off of us. Her guidance and calm presence made the entire day completely stress-free.

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

She was incredibly receptive to any changes I wanted to make and I felt like a princess. The whole experience working with her was a 10/10 from the hair and makeup trial to the day of. I’m absolutely going to recommend her to everyone I can haha :)

Reptacular Animals Ranch was an amazing choice for our wedding venue. The communication with the staff was great, accurate, and wonderful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly outstanding - the venue was big, spacious, and lovely. They made sure everything was exactly where I wanted it, and the lighting at night was amazing, really showing the romantic side of our relationship. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful the entire night, making us feel so welcomed. The location was perfect, the only downside was that we didn't have much cell phone signal. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day.
