Such a gorgeous HOT day! I had to include that magazine shot that said "Heat Wave" in the title, as I think it will go down as one of the hottest to date, but that didn't keep the smiles from these two. I love that little mini battery fans almost became a replacement for bouquets! It was hot but these high-school sweet hearts were ready to say I do. We started the day at the quaint Lafayette Park Hotel for getting ready and then headed to St. Mary's College for the vows and then ended the evening at the beautiful Orinda Country Club. The details were exquisit, the smiles were contagious and the happiness was overflowing. And who could have asked for a better dance party when Kevin of Sound in Motion is behind the turn table, so fun to work my first wedding with this great friend and DJ!

and...Behind every wedding there is an amazing team of professionals that helped make it possible. Big thank you to my shooters that day Stacey and Emily - such a great team and I SO appreciate you!

A beautiful day set the tone for this Old Hollywood wedding at the Los Angeles Millennium Biltmore Hotel. It was such a pleasure to travel down to LA for this sweet couple's day. And I have to admit that I'm just so honored that up to date I have done all of the weddings in this wonderful family, thank you for having me capture over and over again your joy, each time it is exciting and new all over again. I enjoyed all the glamour and details that Amanda and Sean put into this day. From the famous actor quotes on the wine bottles "Usually marriages break up because people won't take the trouble to get through the middle breakfasts. Its no trick to get through the first breakfasts when love is new and there are bows on the eggs." to the movie history of their ceremony and reception spots on their invitations, to having their wedding at the Biltmore where legend has it that the original sketch of the Oscar statuette was drawn on a Biltmore napkin. Enjoy this trailer of your day!

Thank you to the team of professionals that put this Los Angeles Wedding together AND of course a HUGE thank you to Stephanie for shooting with me, always so grateful for your creative eye and support.
