Brian and Christina – San Clemente Wedding Photography

These are the fabulous pair from this engagement session which I still consider my all-time favorite engagement session. I had high hopes for their wedding, and they didn’t let me down.  The ceremony and reception were both held at San Clemente Presbyterian Church, which is a great location with plenty of great spots for photos.  The food from Iva Lees Catering was perfect, and the hair and makeup by Tracey Wong was stunning.  This wedding had a few firsts for me – some ideas to think about:

  • First footwashing in the ceremony
  • First powerpoint during a toast (Father of the bride was a teacher)
  • First encounter with the police (don’t worry, this ended well!)
  • First ceremony where the bridal party (except the best man and maid of honor) got to sit down during the sermon.  They brought ’em back up for the last few minutes of the ceremony.

Turns out the previous photo should have cost a $500 fine! This cop let us off since it was her wedding day.

He carried her like this over about 150 feet of dirt. Stud!

Stacy and Andrew – Los Angeles Wedding Photography

Here are my favorites from a wedding a few months ago in Santa Monica.  The ceremony was at Shutters, and the reception was at Casa Del Mar.  Amazing Venues!  I had the honor to shoot alongside the famed Robert Evans again, too.  Enjoy!

They had both a Rabbi and a Pastor.  Very unique and true to both traditions!

They also had by far the most interesting ring bearer I’ve ever seen – a real hollywood R2-D2 Replica!

Cameron and Shawnda – Orange County Wedding Photography

What a great couple!  Such a fun wedding, despite the challenges of pouring rain and no daylight to speak of, I am really happy with how these turned out.  I’ll be posting their engagement photos in a few days, but since wedding photos are what we are ALL about, wedding will have to be before engagement on this blog.  Here’s a slideshow…

A GLEE Wedding? Walt and Melissa – Woodland Hills Wedding Photography

OK, for you Glee fans – did you see the “Furt” episode?  Where Kurt’s dad and Finn’s mom got married?  Well, my last wedding happened to be in that very church.  Being in the TMZ really helps get your church on the map, apparently!

Anyway, rain on your wedding is supposed to be good luck.  Maybe for the bride, but not the photographer!  We had to duck outside any chance we had to make sure we took advantage of the dry moments.  Luckily, they picked great locations so shooting inside didn’t turn out too shabby either.

Ceremony: Northridge Congregational Church

Reception: Maggiano’s Little Italy
