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

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 ![]()
