Kristen and Adam's wedding was particularly awesome. Not just because I got to bring Ryan to second shoot, and Will to assist, but because all three of us agree that Kristen and Adam are the kind of people we could have a barbecue with!

Admittedly, I was actually nervous on this one because Adam is keen on photography as well. Fortunately, once I noticed that the day was starting off with amazing shots I felt a whole lot better.

We all had a great time and I wish Kristen and Adam the best on their honeymoon in Spain, and I hope Adam learns a few things from our images.

It was such a pleasure shooting Jaycie and Ramiro's engagement photos, we had such a great time. We went all over Los Angeles visiting Union station and even China Town. Diets aside I may have been coaxed into eating a Downtown Dog, But! I think anyone who has ever tasted such a thing can understand it's glory.

Jaycie and Ramiro could not be more pleasant people, and I just know they are two people I will talk to well after their wedding day, and cannot wait to deliver stunning photos of their upcoming wedding day.

Speaking of romantic gestures, as my readers will remember, Jose had his own personal gift to Esmeralda. I don't think there's anything more romantic then being serenaded by the one you love. Tradtionally, the Bride and Groom must not see eachother before their ceremony on their wedding day, so Jose hired Mariachi's to do it for him!

I'm telling you boys, those gestures go a long way ; )

As far as receptions go, you have got to get people up and dancing, and at Esmeralda and Jose's reception in Rancho Los Lomas people were. In fact alot of people were! Just about the entire night the dance floor was filled with some pretty talented dancers.

After all was said and done we just Had to get a few more shots! I've been craving some night time images lately and I decided to embrace my craving, and they were excited to give it a go. All of my images come out awesome and these were no exception of course!

Ryan and I both had a great time and we were glad to be a part of Esmeralda and Jose's big day.

Carrie and Chris may not have recognized one secret genius of their wedding day. Many couples have cellphone contact with eachother throughout the day, and therefore don't think of how special the gift of a handwritten note is. The best part about this business is all of the little aesthetic moments we capture each time we do a shoot.

Ryan and I had a great time, from start to finish. With clients like mine though, how could we not have.

Teri and Mario got married at the Friendship Bell in Long Beach. The light was perfect and I think Ryan and I got some Really great shots.

Their ceremony was made extra special by Mario's brother, who was the Pastor marrying them. The reception was also made special by the couples dear friend Bill who can talk all night about literally everything. Also, being the stand up guy that he is, Mario made sure to welcome us to feel like regular guests and to help ourselves at the buffet, of which I always recommend the shrimp.

All in all Teri and Mario's wedding was a solid reminder that if you love what you do, you'll never work a a day in your life. And that out clients are the most kick ass clients in the world. We are greateful to have been a part of their day and their lives!
