Kristi and Aaron Wedding at The Pacific Edge
I don’t know what got into me and somehow I completely forgot to post these images earlier. What a gorgeous day it was for a beachside wedding at the Pacific Edge in Laguna Beach. The house looked awesome and was well-prepped as always by the amazing staff from At Your Service Catering and Corey Morgan assisted as second shooter. Kristi looked absolutely amazing and Aaron looked fantastic. The ceremony may have been a tad bit late, but looked great against the setting sun. If you didn’t see them before, be sure and check out their engagement pictures taken at the location where Aaron proposed to Kristi.
Peter and Lilliana Wedding
YesterdayI got the pleasure of shooting a nice, intimate ceremony and after-party for Peter and Lilliana. Starting at St. John The Babtist church in Costa Mesa and then heading over to a parent’s house for a little party and some shots out on the gold course. Everyone was a joy to work with and were all a lot of fin to work with. Best wishes to them as they start their new lives together.
Leah and Darrel Wedding
I have been waiting for this wedding for quite a while as I have worked with Leah before as she is a coordinator and one half of The DoubleKnot Twins. For this wedding I shot alongside David Esquire (Esquire Photography) at the beautiful Diamond Bar Center.
What a fantastic day it was even though all week it threatened to dampen the festivities with some rain. Well, it did rain, but only early in the morning and was clear by the time the wedding time came around.
I want to wish Leah and Darrel and the happiness in the world, they are two terrific people who are obviously very much in love and deserve all the best. It was my distinct pleasure to be asked to shoot this wedding for them.
Alex and Genevieve Wedding
For what is probably the last wedding of the season, I shot along with David from Esquire Photography for a fantastic day with Alex and Genevieve. I went off to work with the guys while David was off with the girls. We then headed off to the Nativity Catholic Church for very nice ceremony, then off to the Seal Beach pier where we all froze of tooshies off. Finally we headed over to Old Ranch Country Club for a fun-filled reception that ran until midnight. Alex and Genevieve where a total blast to work with and their bridal party kept us laughing all night. Happy Holidays and best wishes on your new life together!
Patty and Josh Wedding
What an awesome day for a wedding it was yesterday and to be able to work with Patty, josh, and their wonderful family made very a fantastic event. David from Esquire Photography asked me to help him out with this shoot and I was happy to oblige. The morning started off at Bella Monde for hair styling, then off to the Lakewood Baptist Church to finish getting ready.
Most of the portraits were done before the ceremony except for Josh and Patty and Josh’s face lit up when he saw Patty come down the aisle. The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was fun, and everyone was a joy to work with. As these two family’s come together, we wish them the absolute best.
Matt and Wendy Wedding
What a beautiful day it was yesterday for Matt and Wendy’s wedding. The wedding and ceremony were held at the gorgeous Rancho Capistrano and was all put together by the amazing Gini Garner. The ceremony was short and sweet and everyone was just awesome to work with. The reception was a ton of fun while everyone was dancing their butts off all night until the newlyweds were wisked off in the limo.
People like Wendy and Matt make doing this job so rewarding. Good luck to you both!
Carol and Anita Wedding
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect and being right on the ocean there is always a fear of a marine layer coming in and ruining your pictures but Mother Nature was in full cooperation today as Carol and Anita exchanged vows after being together for 24 years!! It was quite a beautiful ceremony with Carol singing to Anita, and a lovely sand mixing ceremony that involved the entire family. Carol and Anita are one of the nicest couples I have had the pleasure of working with and the event went on with the precision you would expect from an event managed by Linda Gray from A Wedding Store. Linda is simply an amazing coordinator that I love working with since I know things are going to be done right. I was the primary shooter on this event working as an associate photographer for Esquire Photography.
Nicole and Mike Wedding
Never passing up an opportunity to shoot, I had the chance to work with David from Esquire Photography yesterday for Nicole and Mike’s wedding. From a lovely ceremony to a fun filled reception, hanging out with Nicole and Mike last night was a blast. I started off with the guys, which meant I sat watching TV as they barely were ready by the time the limo showed up, from there the day kept getting better and better. It was a perfect fall day other than it being incredibly bright outside. The families were all just awesome to be around. This was a great start to their new life together.
Mark and Rachel Wedding
This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Mark and Rachel at the beautiful Kindred Community Church in Anaheim Hills. Although it threatended to rain on us a few times, Mother Nature blessed the day and the awesome lighting she gave us to work with. Mark and Rachel were a blast to work with and we wish them the absolute best as they begin their journey together.
Nick and Kelly Wedding
What a treat I had getting to shoot the wedding for Kelly and Nick! They are a terrific couple and Kelly was so laid back getting ready I couldn’t believe it. This was a tough shoot with a number of technical challenges, namely trying to have a ceremony in almost zero visibility, good thing Kelly let me bring in some lights to brighten up her evening. Leah and Linsey, from The Doubleknot Twins, are the most hard working wedding coordinators I have ever seen! From lighting probably close to 300 candles (200 votives in bags with sand), to topping off the sangria bar, they were incredible. All night, Mike from TurtleBoy Studios keep the tunes rolling. What a great evening of fun and celebration!
