One of the greatest honors for a wedding photographer is to have a bride choose her wedding date based on my availability. Lauren was one of those brides. I photographed her brother’s wedding back in 2009, her grandfather’s wedding in 2010, and for 2 years she has been planning this extravaganza. She managed to be very calm and collected the whole day, and her Jeff did very well too. We did some fun engagement photos in Long Beach a while back as well. Here are the key contributors to this wedding’s success:
