Greg and Valerie’s West Coast Reception

You might recognize these two from their engagement shoot I did a while back.  They got married in Kentucky where Valerie’s family lives, and they held a beautiful reception in sunny Southern California.  I was not the official photographer, but I was a guest and I was giving my new Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS a chance to see some action.

Greg’s mom was my High School Spanish teacher, who was my favorite teacher of all time.  I can’t HABLAR like I used to, but I have many fond memories and she impacted us all for a lifetime.  Here she is standing next to the proud Father of the Groom.

My wife got this shot, she’s so creative.

We snuck away for a few minutes (literally) and grabbed a few portraits. buccolla_rec_0014buccolla_rec_0015buccolla_rec_0016buccolla_rec_0017

It snowed on their wedding day, so  these were the only sunny day shots they were able to get.  What a beautiful couple!

Trevor and Stephanie – Engagement Session

I met these two at a bridal fair on the Queen Mary (that huge ship that is eternally docked in Long Beach Harbor).  They both share a love of the outdoors, and they wanted engagement photos with completely natural surrounding.  I was amazed to find anything in LA County that was this green or untouched.  I’m looking forward to your wedding in June!  Enjoy the photos!pope_0001
