Jonty and Jamie are one very unique couple. You will recognize them from their recent engagement shoot in Old Town Orange, eating an apple. Their wedding was at Strawberry Farms, in Irvine, CA. I really like shooting at Strawberry Farms, and I would recommend it to any bride in the OC looking for a beautiful location that won’t break the bank. One thing that I really enjoyed about this wedding was that many of the guests were from England, and we all know how charming a British accent is! This wedding had THE top best man toast I have ever heard. He had the groom laughing/embarrassed so bad he was literally in tears! Enjoy a few of our favorites…

It’s not Ben Stiller!
Isn’t she stunning??
I learned a little secret when I showed this to my dad. He explained that the Father of the Bride is usually making weird faces because he’s trying not to cry. It sure explains why I get so many strange expressions from these guys! This one is very touching I think. It’s all Masha’s doing.
His FIRST view of her on their wedding day…
They had buttons! And lego images in the program!
MY personal fave from the day…
The lim0 golf cart. Sweet.
Don’t let this image fool you. He’s a total nut!
The bridal party was so much fun.
And real legos!
I hope this makes on Strawberry Farms’ website…
The “off-camera” flash was total luck … but it turned out awesome IMHO.
Father of the groom.
Thanks guys! We had so much fun.
They opted for a “first look”, and it was really sweet. She is so expressive.
My favorite of the day.
My wife Masha got this awesome detail shot…
Anyone recognize this pose? Try to guess in the comments!
The light was amazing after the ceremony.
This guy had a pretty awesome best man speech.
My wife Masha got this awesome reception shot…
A little SPINNING….
I love sparkler send-offs.
Me: “Jonty, go ask them to borrow their bike” Jonty: “Can we borrow your bike?” Stranger with bike: “Why, yes of course” (in a failed attempt at a bri-ish accent)
At this point, we had a small crowd watching, half of whom really thought this was Ben Stiller, and half who thought it was an Abercrombie photoshoot.
You’re on CHRIS-O-VISION!
It was all my wonderful wife’s idea…
Yeah, so those “classic” real candied apples… not so soft and fun. It’s like a jawbreaker the size of a gorilla’s fist. Sometimes progress should be embraced.
Especially if the “classic” one rips out a tooth!
PHEW false alarm… the inside of an apple can look just like a tooth.
Stunning, isn’t she?
This one reminds me of what New York looks like.
I love these last few…
I told her to do the “I love what you do for me, Toyota!” jump… here it is:
Here’s my favorite from the shoot. I love the yellow of sunset.
Hey good lookin’!
Gasp! The hope diamond fits on a ring…
Thanks so much Kara and Brian! I look forward to your wedding in November. You Gap ad models, you.
