Kevin and Joy: Wedding

Well here it is, the long-awaited wedding of Kevin and Joy! And talk about a beautiful day. Incredible details, amazing people, and a general attitude of fun came together to make one of my favorite weddings I’ve shot in a while. Between all my friends from my San Diego church, my old college friend Krystel of Couture Events who handled coordinating duties, and Kristy Walker once again ably tackling second shooter duties, it really just felt like settling into a comfy old couch. Congratulations you two, all the best!

Emily and Alex: Wedding, Part 2

As promised, here’s the rest! Continuing on from Part 1, everything about the day, start to finish, was pretty fantastic. The ceremony was beautiful and creative, from to the choice of scripture (well chosen, by the way) to bringing the grandparents up in front to pray over Alex and Emily. Dwindling light meant tricky but moody and evocative shooting conditions, the kind of challenge you don’t actually mind as a photographer. Then there was the party. And oh, what a party. DJ Sean Sand kept things going with the best taste in music I’ve encountered at a wedding, and the couple brought more energy than I thought possible and made sure the dance floor was never empty. All in all, an absolute grand time and a beautiful day, congratulations to you two! Thanks for making me a part of it.

Emily and Alex: Wedding, Part 1

This is a first: so many great shots that I’m breaking up the post into two parts. This one will have everything leading up to the ceremony, stay tuned tomorrow for everything else! (edit: and here it is!)

What to say? Emily and Alex are a dream to shoot. They seem to find it just as easy to laugh and kiss as they do striking a perfect, ad-campaign-worthy pose. So much fun. The wedding was at El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano, and we cruised around the downtown area shooting whenever something caught our eye. We barely made it into the mission before they shut down for the evening, and managed to get several beautiful shots in a span of about 4 minutes. Not too shabby. I’ll talk more about the day later, but for now a big thanks to my good friend Kristy Walker for second shooting this for me, it made all the difference.

Candace and Chad: Wedding

You may remember Candace and Chad’s Engagement from way back when, well it has been a while and sure enough it was time for them to get hitched! The wedding was on the campus of Point Loma Nazarene University, my alma mater, and it was a typically beautiful San Diego sunshiney sort of day. Candace and Chad are laid back and kind of goofy, so we had some fun with it all. Thanks to Garrett Richardson for second-shooting this one.

Olivia and Adam

Olivia is a documentary filmmaker (http://www.sinbysilence.com/). That is pretty awesome, just wanted to be sure and mention it. Now to actually talk about the wedding: Olivia and Adam got married at the historic Hotel Laguna right in the heart of Laguna Beach. It’s a quirky place, full of stairwells and narrow hallways that are pretty wonderful for us photographers. We had a blast wandering around downtown and on the boardwalk in the Saturday afternoon crowds, despite the grey, and really just had a wonderful day. Congrats to you two, all the best!
