Long Beach Museum of Art Wedding

I'd been to the Long Beach Museum of Art over the years as a visitor, but this was my first time photographing a wedding there.  Perched on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean, one could see for miles.  And while the inland areas baked under a blanket of summer heat, cool sea breezes kept us cool and comfortable.

I love that every wedding I photograph is unique, each with their own story to tell.  Cristalle and Brendan's wedding was no exception.  From their choice to have their wedding at the Long Beach Museum of Art, to their own unique blend of the traditional and nontraditional, the entire day was a complete reflection of who Cristalle and Brendan are as people.

Wedgewood Ventura Beach Wedding

Corie and Ryan could not have asked for a more beautiful day to get married on the beach.  The day began with Corie and her Bridesmaids, and Ryan and his Groomsmen, getting ready at the beautiful Residence Inn in Oxnard. It was there that Corie and Ryan had their romantic "first look." From there we traveled a short distance to Surfers Knoll Beach in Ventura for the ceremony.  Blue skies, a light breeze and a setting sun took the day from perfect to perfectly magical.  Photographing Corie and Ryan on the beach at sunset was truly amazing.

The reception was held at the stunning Wedgewood Buenaventura Golf Club.  It was a celebration of love by close family and friends, many of who traveled from across the country.  A beautiful way to end a beautiful day.

Huge shout out and thanks to Erika and Shannon at Wedgewood Ventura.  Their experience and attention to detail laid the foundation for this amazing day.  Professional and personable - the perfect combination!

Beautiful Santa Monica Wedding

A few captured moments from last weekend's wedding.  The Bride and Groom got ready at the stunning Manhattan Beach Marriott and had their wedding ceremony at the beautiful St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica.  I felt like I was at an old world church in the Italian countryside!  The reception was an amazing celebration back at the Manhattan Beach Marriott.  Loved the dramatic red lighting, which added depth, interest and a lushness to the photos.  I again enjoyed shooting alongside the uber-talented Sean King, of Sean King Video and Photography.

Congrats to John and Julie on their marriage and beautiful wedding day!
