Wedding

Bianca & Eric: Encore Sessions at Matador Beach

The beach has a special place in Bianca and Eric’s hearts for a couple of reasons.  First, Eric proposed at sunset in Hawaii.  Second, these two continued that beach-theme at their wedding last month at the  Waterfront Beach Resort, in Huntington Beach.  You might have remembered their wedding day pictures were taken during the very rare annular eclipse.  We intended on taking more romantic pictures right at sunset, but unfortunately the marine layer was pretty thick and casted a hazy fog which was awesome for taking pictures with the eclipse but not so great for the real sunset pictures.  The sun just went into a soft grey instead of the beautiful rosy colors we were hoping for.  So, this past weekend we took a trip out to one of my favorite beaches in Malibu and Bianca and Eric got back into their wedding attire!  Bianca ended up having 2 different dresses, one for her intimate church ceremony and then one for the “real” wedding with all their friends and family.  She didn’t mind getting into the ice-cold water in her first dress.  I gotta give her mad props…  I don’t think I could’ve been so brave.  Even for great pictures!  For her second dress, we tried to keep it as clean as possible by staying on the beach.  We ended the session with some great lighting wiht the sunset and sparklers!

Marissa & Tyler: Married at Seven Oaks Country Club

I first met Marissa and Tyler last year during Jen and Rylan’s wedding at Seven Oaks (Jen is Marissa’s big sister).   A few months after that, she contacted me and told me the great news about planning her own wedding and she wanted me to come out and document her day (JOY!)  She would describe her wedding as “Girly/Bling.”   Her whole family is so kind and sweet, I’ve really been looking forward to seeing them again!   I got a chance to really get to know her and Tyler during  their engagement session  at the Viceroy Hotel and Santa Monica Pier.   It was awesome to see everything pull together this weekend as Marissa and Tyler got married!

Dennis & Desiree: Wedding

Dennis and Desiree’s wedding took place this past Saturday at St. Anthony Catholic Church in El Segundo followed by a reception at the Redondo Beach Library overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  I met these two a couple months ago through their awesome wedding planner Cecille and they shared the details of their wedding with me.  They would describe the style of their wedding as “simple, pretty, and vintage.”  With 250 of their closest friends and family, their celebration was filled with love, tears, and joy.  I’m so honored to have been a part of their beautiful day!  Here’s some of my favorite images!

Victoria + Tony: Married at Calamigos Ranch

Victoria and Tony met while attending school at UCLA, and celebrated their 5th anniversary of being together on their wedding day this past Saturday.   Tony is currently a successful video game designer for the biggest selling game of all time, Call of Duty and Victoria is exploring the PR field and is pursuing her passion for event planning.  It was no wonder their talent and creative mix lead to lots of fun and personal details!    Victoria and Tony chose yellow and grey as their wedding colors, as also seen from their engagement session at the Santa Monica pier.  These two tied the knot this past weekend at one of my favorite venues, Calamigos Ranch in Malibu!
