Father of the Bride Wedding

Erika and Howie Wedding - Backyard Father of the Bride Wedding

A Father of the Bride wedding meets real life fairytale. This scene looks a bit familiar with her sister getting married here a few years past but how lucky are both of these girls that they got to do their wedding in their own backyard, where they grew up. I always wanted a Father of the Bride wedding but my parents little backyard could not have held all the people. I'll just relive my dream through these beautiful weddings. A lounge in the front and back, flowers, a beautiful tiered cake, more flowers, a dance floor built on top of their family pool, did I mention flowers, and a gathering of lots of love. And what could top a Father of the Bride wedding - your dad singing to you for your first dance together. What an amazing day, thank you for having us capture it and may you always see your beautiful wedding day when you look out into your parents backyard. 

Thank you to the LA Emily for shooting with me...you're the best!

Christmas Father of the Bride Wedding - Ryan & Brittany

What a wonderful way to end the holidays with this special Christmas wedding, filled with hints of red, tradition, and an at home reception. Every girls dream, to have their wedding at their parents home, just like Father of the Bride, but not everyone can have a winter wonderland come to life complete with an ice sculpture and dance floor over the pool like Brittany and Ryan did. What a magical day...

I feel so lucky that I was the one that got to capture it all - those smiles ear to ear, the special touches done by Ryan's sister from Franny Bee Designs, a bridal party that had lighting design done (awesome!), a smooth running day thanks to Megan at La Partie Events and... a super fun party!  Such a special day and thank you for having me there to take it all in with my camera. Special thanks to Emily as well for 2nd shooting with me! You rock!!
