Mira and Kelly: Wedding

A few months ago, I shot Mira and Kelly's very special wedding, alongside Emily.

Mira and Kelly's wedding was an amazing cultural event, consisting of both indian and american traditions, at the Paradise Point Resort.  They were married under vibrant marigolds, but the bright flowers couldn't compete with how each basked in the other's presence. 

I love the look they are giving each other, and how its a little soft.... I think that it lends to the feel of the image













Some ceremony details:

Wedding Coordinator: Ann's Plans

Wedding Location: Paradise Point Resort

Sarah & Reve - Wedding

Back from the blogging dead! (and more importantly, from vacation, which I will tell you all about... sometime before I go on vacation again). I shot Sarah & Reve's wedding a few weeks ago with Melissa McClure at the Hilton in Mission Valley. After an exciting morning chasing down the wayward groom and groomsmen, we finally met up at the church in Chula Vista. While Melissa (and Brandon) shot the ceremony, I traveled over to the hotel with the awesome coordinator, Brenda Swan of Swan Soirees. To all brides who have even the slightest doubt about a coordinator - they are worth their weight in gold! Brenda ran everything on time, made sure that everything was set up correctly, moved things around, and just made the entire event it's most fabulous!













Aren't the pink flowers incredible?! Just my color ;-)







The bouquet and garter tosses were both TONS of fun!

Amanda and Robert: Millennium Biltmore Wedding

As the teaser mentioned, I shot with the lovely Melissa Koehler at the Millenium Biltmore a couple of weeks ago. The ceremony was held at the Los Angeles Cathedral. The travertine marble throughout the church felt as if I had stepped into Europe. The hotel was spectacular, possessing an ornate, gold-leafed everything look that made me feel like I was in Versailles. I could go on and on about the old world feel to the entire event, but I think that I will let the photos do the talking.

On onto the hotel... isn't the cake amazing?? And, let me tell you... it was delicious!


Getting ready for our little run into the street:

Amanda and Robert's first dance was the most show-stopping one I have ever seen. A formal waltz, with lifts, dips, the whole works. Robert's mom was a dance teacher, and he apparently grew up doing ballet. He even incorporated a tour jete into the dance!


The best man and maid of honor did a hilarious toast, incorporating a homemade video mapping out the future (their honeymoon!) and a self-written rap about the happy couple. They had everyone in stiches!
The took some time to sit at the head of the dance floor while the dj spoke about their 'love story.' They met in Italy while studying abroad, surviving a long distance relationship, always coming back to each other. The story of my life :-)
The did the traditional Italian Tarentella - much like the Hora, it involves holding hands and dancing in circles. Fun!

And afterwards... tons of dancing! The worm even made a comeback!


Finally, the bouquet toss... one of the best every. Look at the participation - you can tell these ladies meant business!
