Weddings Archive

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to second shoot for the fabulous Tracy Kumono!  I drove up to Long Beach for the wedding of Jason and Melissa. 

The groomsmen were a crack up!  They had spent the Bachelor party in Mexico and all came back with these masks.  I was shocked they didn’t make an appearance at the Reception!

Don’t worry, the groom had finished that Tequila way before the morning of the wedding!

Handsome!

There ceremony took place at a golf course.

Married!

I loved this wall of pink flowers!

So cute together!

Fun name cards

And their yummy cake!

Their first dance was so adorable!

This was one of the highlights of the evening.  This groomsman made up an entire song about their relationship, it rhymed and everything!  The best man played along on his guitar!  The whole room was in tears from laughing.

Jason getting jiggy with the bridesmaids!

Thanks Tracy for having me along!  Best of luck to the happy couple!

Last Sunday I had the honor of photographing Reve and Sarah’s wedding!  You may remember their “hot” engagement session awhile back.  These two are so fun to be around, so in love and always making each other laugh!  

My day started and ended at the Hilton in Mission Valley.   The fantastic Brenda Swann made sure the entire day went smoothly and was on time!  This woman knows what she is doing!  Call her for any coordinating needs, you will not regret it!

Fun with some bridal details are one of my favorite parts of the day!

 Flowers by Tess Silk (619 427-0778).

Jon from Elite Image Limousine was early (as usual)!  I was super impressed with the white Hummer limo they have!

They exchanged vows at their church in National City.  I was pretty limited during the ceremony and could not move around, but I made the best of it being creative!

Just outside the church, this had such a 70’s look to it!

After we all loaded up in the rad limo and headed to Presidio Park!

Doesn’t Sarah look like a model??

Ok you can tell by now I’m totally loving this sort of processing.  Very vintage feel.  I attribute it all to Totally Rad Actions – a must have for all Photoshop users!  This one is called Pool Party.  It just sounds fun.

Back to the Hilton!

Sarah and her Entourage!

Her sister and MOH was so adorably pregnant!

I loved this exchange between Sarah and her work colleagues. 

Mmmmmm Candy Bar!

Best Man’s Toast

Thank you Sarah and Reve for trusting me from the beginning and wanting to share your big day with me!  I hope you are having the most amazing time in Hawaii!

Julia and Brandon – Thanks for coming along and also for letting me buy the margaritas after!

xoxo, M

ENJOY YOUR SLIDESHOW!!!!!!!!!!

Just one quick shot of this great wedding I shot tonight!

I’ll be blogging regularly again soon!

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of helping out a fellow San Diego photographer, Nic at Tamarack Studios.  He brought me along to help out with his lighting and to take some photos 🙂  I had a lot of fun and also got quite a few great images.

The wedding took place at the La Valencia hotel in La Jolla.  It was a gorgeous location and I love how intimate the ceremony spot is!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to second shoot for Ahmed with AA Creation Photography.  I jumped at the chance especially because the wedding was at the fabulous Mission Inn in Riverside.  I’ve always wanted to explore that place!

And it did not disappoint!  It was also much larger than I imagined!

Michele and Justin were an amazing couple!  Michele had modeled before and it showed as she was posing for her portrait.

See?  She is gorgeous! 

Michele and her girls!

Justin and Michele wanted to see each other before the ceremony and after they did, they were so much more relaxed!

Isn’t this a great staircase at the Mission Inn?

I loved these little name cards.  They made me think of Dawn and Norvin. 

Just before the ceremony.

I love this moment because it is not posed at all.

Some quiet words with her father just before the doors opened.

I thought this was a fun shot of the best man!

Walking around the Mission Inn was so much fun!

Jelly Bellies are my favorite candy!  Top Banana is my #3 fav (only getting beat out by Juicy Pear (#1) and Buttered Popcorn (#2).

They had this awesome choreographed dance.  Justin is a body builder and Navy Diver.  Look how easy he makes it look to pick her up!

And one final shot outside the chapel.
