Melissa & Greg’s Wedding: Long Beach

Melissa and Greg had a beautiful wedding in Long Beach this past weekend at the Long Beach Museum of Art.   I first met them back in March, as they described a “fun, beachy, and relaxed” wedding with a balance of colors of pink and navy with succulents and orchids.  On their wedding day, they chose to have a first look before the ceremony followed by formal pictures of their family.  I’ve photographed weddings at the Museum of Art a handful of times, and it’s always a challenge to do something new and unique.  For the first look, we found a beautiful spot in the lobby by the fireplace where the light was coming though the windows, overlooking the ocean.  Some fun elements of their evening included a photobooth and ice-cream (of which I had 2 helpings, guilty!).  To check out the progress of their album design click HERE.  Friend and family can see all wedding images online HERE.

Emme & Rick’s Destination Wedding: Temecula

Emme and Rick had a beautiful wedding this past weekend at Ponte Winery in Temecula, CA.  Emme is a clothing designer and Rick a firefighter/ aspiring wedding photographer and together they have a sweet little girl who is almost three years old.  Most of the family and guests traveled from Ohio to celebrate their destination wedding.  Planning her wedding from out of state, Emme had to rely on her instincts with many details of her day.  The first moment we ever met in person was when I walked in the door to her bridal suite and she was smiles all day long.  The wedding was intimate and everyone danced well into the night.  I’m so honored to have been part of this special day.

Kaori & David: Long Beach Museum of Art Wedding

Kaori and David celebrated a beautiful summer wedding at the Long Beach Museum of Art last weekend.  The Long Beach  Museum of Art is one of my favorite spots for a wedding with the intimate setting, great view of the ocean, and rotating exhibits.  They are currently exhibiting “Architecture for Dogs,” with a lot of cool doghouses and dog themed paintings.  One of my favorite images from the day was the expressions on David and Kaori’s face during the ceremony.   There was a Despicable Me 2 blimp floating around and they happened to look up and have a priceless look on their faces.  These two are so easy going and such a great couple to work with.    It was such a pleasure to be a part of their day!  Here’s a review of my favorite images.

Jennifer & Henry: Married in Riverside

Jennifer and Henry tied the knot this past weekend at the Victoria Club in Riverside.  The wedding was filled with lots of love, family, and friends.  Jennifer wanted her wedding to be bright and summery with warm colors of oranges and pinks to represent each of them.  The would describe themselves as traditional but a little goofy.  The day started as Jennifer got ready at the historic Mission Inn.  The ceremony at the Victoria Club took place on the green with indoor reception that followed.  Here’s some of my favorite images from their day!

Chizu & Andrew’s Wedding: Los Angeles Walt Disney Concert Hall

Chizu and Andrew celebrated a beautiful wedding this past weekend at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downton Los Angeles.  I first heard from Chizu about year ago as she started planning her wedding.  She envisioned her day to be modern, elegant, with geometric forms.  I was pretty excited when her wedding day came and couldn’t wait to see how it all came together.  Here’s some of my favorite images from Chizu and Andrew’s day.
