Last month I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding with good friend and amazing photographer Michelle Cunningham of Mila Photography. Kelley and Raleigh were a really fun couple to work with and the Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach was the perfect location for them. I love second shooting for another photographer whenever I get the chance, it gives me the opportunity to experiment with different angles and techniques a little more than I would if I were the primary photographer. It also gives me the chance to learn from some of the best photographers in the business, which is always a huge bonus…

Venue: Pacific Edge Hotel
Pacific Edge Coordinator: Rebecca Peng
Wedding Coordinator: Natalie Cassaro
Catering: Jay’s Catering
Flowers: Stacey Fits of Floral Occassions
Music: DJ Todd

Waiting for the first look is always the hardest part for the groom…

STUNNING!

Awww, she must be cinderella

No, this isn’t a dip gone wrong, Raleigh is actually flipping his bride on the dance floor! I think the best part of this photo is the look on the woman’s face in the background!

So how do you remove wedding cake after your bride smashes it in your face?

Well I was gonna say use a napkin, but I guess that works too…

Here’s Michelle with the new bride

Daissy and David had a beautiful ceremony in Temple City and a fun reception in Pasadena at the Hilton. It was the first ceremony I have photographed that was entirely in Spanish, and since I chose to take Italian as my language requirement back in the college days (Ciao tutti! Spero tutto bene!), I had to have the camera to my eye the entire ceremony or I would have missed the kiss! Thank you Daissy and David for a fun wedding day!

Forget the DJ, Daissy and David went with a mariachi band!!

There was a table full of blue candy at the reception, you think the ring bearer got into it?

Check out the air time David got!

Mary and Paul had their wedding on a gorgeous day in Pasadena, and they chose the Los Angeles Arboretum for the location of all the fun wedding party photos and really couldn’t have picked a better spot. You’ll remember Mary and Paul from their awesome engagement session at the Claremont Colleges, I absolutely loved how the themes of both their engagement session and wedding day matched perfect together. Thank you guys for a wonderful day!

With a peacock themed wedding, it’s only fitting to have a run in with live peacock, right?!
