Matthew and Brandy were wed on September 17, 2011 in Laguna Hills, California. I had the opportunity to witness their love for each other in full bloom on that day. Congratulation to you both, and thank you for allowing me to take part on your special day of celebration, and love. Here is just a small sample of that beautiful day.

September 25, in Glendora, CA Michael and Carlie tied the knot, with all the accoutrements befitting a traditional wedding. Livi, Beckie and I met at Carlie’s house, and set to work as she got ready. Children were running around, playing, napping, and hiding from the cameras while we happily snapped away.
Then it was off to the church, while unassuming on the outside, it was absolutely beautiful inside, with tall narrow stained glass artwork, painting colored sun light onto the pews.
Celebrations were held at the Marriott Courtyard in Monrovia. Tasked with the duties of making sure the bride had shots of the reception hall before the guests arrived, I had the luxury of getting creative, and experimenting with the available light, and before I knew it, the hall was full of people gathering together to wish Michael and Carlie a wonderful new life together.

The beautiful Forster Mansion in San Juan Capistrano was the perfect place for Ian and Meghan to have their wedding ceremony and reception.
As Meghan was getting ready on one of the stately rooms with a team of makeup artists, hairstylists, family, and well wishers, Ian was getting prepared with a tight knit group of friends that made up the groomsmen. The air was filled with nervous anticipation, charged with emotions running high as the ceremony drew near.

The Wedding Party
During the cocktail hour, I took the couple aside to get some more intimate pictures of them. It also gave them a chance to take a much needed break and relax a while before joining the festivities.
The sweet smell of flowers.
A relaxing moment.
