So many times their lives almost collided, and yet the Good Lord had his timing for their lives to merge into one. I went to High School with Kristin, but I hadn’t seen her since then until she called me about her wedding. When we met them, we both fell in love with them. They have been such troopers to work with, trusting our creative vision and willing to do anything we ask to get just the right shots. You probably recognize them from their Engagement Session in Long Beach Harbor, and you’ll be happy to hear they successfully tied the knot a few weeks ago. I made a slideshow (click “play show” below to see it) – I’m proud to say it’s one of our best:
So of course he facebooked her the morning of…




The blushing bride…


This is her first look at herself. Fighting tears.







Hi first look at her on their wedding day. It’s currently his facebook profile pic. Masha snagged this awesome shot.






I love the feel of this image.



She is just stunning.






We’ll never forget the “petrified jello”.
The “put a ring on it” song will probably be in every wedding playlist until the end of time.
Their reception was right on the bay – what a serene view.



Thanks!





I love the feel of this shot.


He cleans up nice.
My wife Masha is blowing my mind right now with what’s she’s getting out of our F/2.8 lenses. I need to buy some for her exclusive use!


I love this shot my wife took of me.

This wedding had a coin toss.






Trying to shoot romantic couples shots on a crowded beach was new challenge – oh, and we only had 10 minutes to do it all. I’m really happy with ’em anyway.
Me: Let’s sneak out to the courtyard for 5 minutes of perfect light. Them: OK!
The sunset was smashing.
The toasts were touching.

The groom’s parents, long time family friends. They had their own little “first dance”. Ever.
LOVED the cupcakes. And the mini-cake too.

This wedding reminded me that we didn’t have enough Journey at our wedding. It’s timeless music.
