Muckenthaler Wedding Photography| Molly & James

03.12.10

Last Saturday was the kick off of an awesome wedding season with Molly and James at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton Ca. I was amped when Molly and James booked me because I really wanted to shoot at the Muckenthaler for a long time and they are just two people who are so in love that they make it easy to shoot them. The forecast for the day was rain, which made me happy, even though I love bright light I love the rain and it made for an awesome day with tons of great even light, perfect for wedding photography.

It has been a couple months since I had shot a wedding and I forgot how much I love wedding ceremonies. It always reminds me of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful wife and amazing life with her. Molly and James wrote their own vows and they each heard them for the first time during the ceremony which caused a flood of tears to pour and left everyone with a great smile.

Molly looked stunning in her dress and red shoes and was so light hearted and excited to get to be wed with her best friend. Equally James could not wait to have Molly be his bride. Thank you both for such an amazing day and reminding me of how amazing marriage is with your best friend. Have a great time in Hawaii and I can not wait for you to see the rest!

Casa Romantica Wedding Photography| Aaron & Barbara

11.03.09

I have been so excited to get this post up but I had to wait for the film to be developed and for utterly engaged to post this in the e-zine.. About a month ago my good friends Aaron and Barbara were married at Casa Romantica in San Clemente, CA. They had Gabriel and Carlie from Gabriel Ryan Photography shoot their wedding but being that we are all photographers and friends I asked Aaron if I could shoot their wedding in film as a wedding gift. Aaron was stoked!

I absolutely love shooting film and love the look of film. I shot with Fuji 400 and 800 and also all the B/W is Kodak Tmax 3200. I shot the whole wedding without flash and love how it cam out. I wish I could just post all the images but that would be way too many images.

Please go check out Gabriel and see the amazing images that he and Carlie got shooting their wedding. Also would love any feedback on the film or if you have any questions please feel free to email me or ask on the blog. Enjoy!

I was at the other photographer's website, and thought that their photo processing looks like yours... only to found out that it's FILM !! The color and the creaminess is just not the same as digital photography !! It's so hard to master film, yet you do it so well !! Everytime I see your film photos, I have an urge to go to B&H film section afterwards....

La Costa Resort Wedding Photography| Corinne & Stephen

10.27.09

On Saturday I went down to the beautiful La Costa Resort and Spa for Corinne and Stephen's wedding. I had not had much time to get to know these two because they live in Texas, but I knew from the consultation that it was going to be a great day! You can tell these two are madly in love and just enjoy life with each other. It never hurts that they are both really good looking people.

On the wedding day Corinne was such a calm bride. I loved how they had odd numbers in the wedding party and how the bridesmaids all had different color dresses. Corinne had a gorgeous Reem Acra dress that looked stunning on. For me one of the best things of the day were all the white walls that reflected mazing light all over La Costa, it was amazing to shoot there. Thank you Corrine and Stephen and all your family for such a wonderful day! Have a great time on your honeymoon.

Harborside Pavilion Newport Beach Wedding Photography|Shelly & Bradford

10.12.09

Wow, this had to be one of the most adventurous weddings I have ever shot. Shelly and Bradford are really amazing people and could not be more perfect for each other. I say this so that you don't think that any of the shenanigans detract from this perfect couples day!

Before we went to do portraits, Shelly and Bradford went to the "old folks home" that Shelly works at so that they could all be a part of their wedding day. It was so cute to see how they all reacted to seeing the lovely couple. Bradford even got a kiss from another women on his wedding day!

After the that we headed down to Crystal Cove to shoot the bridal party but were stopped by the mean state trooper before we got started. Apparently peeing out in the open on a state beach is frowned upon. So, we turned to plan B and went to Corona Del Mar for some portraits and had a blast. The bridal party had a little to drink but all in all we pulled it off. Then we headed to the Harborside Pavilion for the reception.

The D.J. for the wedding was the totally fun and amazing Peter Merry who always make's the best wedding reception ever. Notice all the pictures of people laughing! Well, here is the post.

Jeffrey! Love this pictures.
You have NO idea what a controversery that old ladies' kiss was! It has been the talk of the old folks home since our wedding day. Thank you again for hanging with us through the craziness of the day. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

The animated gif is cool ! I like it ! It's almost like watching a video but not too long for me to lose patience!
