Pacific Palms Resort + St. Christopher + Royal Vista Country Club + Susan and Charles

A few Saturdays ago I met up with Susan and Charles who were getting ready for their wedding at the Pacific Palms Resort in Industry Hills, California. After everyone got madhotsexy, we met downstairs so I could do my wedding photographer thing. Although we were tight on time, I had an advantage–I already knew most of the bridal party as many of them were also in Max & Hannah’s wedding that I photographed last year (and that’s how Susan and Charles found me). After a few photos at the resort, everyone loaded up for a short drive over to St. Christopher Catholic Church in West Covina. After a beautiful and touching ceremony (many tears were shed), we headed over to Royal Vista Country Club in Walnut. If you’re a friend of the bride and groom and you’d like to see more, click here to see all of the wedding photos.

This is my favorite photo from the wedding day. Fierce!

Vanessa worked with me on this wedding–and as usual she rocked the details!

It’s the girls being girls!

I told them that Brad Pitt was standing naked outside the window to get them all smiling and looking in the same direction.

Bad boys, bad boys.

Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Brown, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Blue

The wedding party had no idea what I was trying to do when I asked them stand this way.

The Groom

As usual, I need my color fix!

Susan prepares herself for her long walk down the aisle at St. Christopher Catholic Church.

While the girls wait, they tell funny stories about boys!

St. Christopher is a beautiful church! But someone forgot
to take down the holiday decorations!

Yippee! We’re married!

Between the parents, sponsors, and wedding party, the DJ had to announce
84 people during the grand entrance. Well, perhaps I exaggerate. It may
have been fewer folks than that–but it was a bunch!

First Dance

Toss that bouquet!

Just to let you know, Charles was successful in his attempt.

Yesterday I met Susan and Charles on the Santa Monica Pier for their engagement session. Charles is from Hawaii so he really wanted some sand in his photos; Santa Monica was a great place to make that happen. Susan was the maid of honor for a wedding I photographed last year so she was no stranger to my style which focuses on having lots of fun with my clients. Susan and Charles are getting married in January of 2010 at St. Christopher Catholic Church in West Covina with their reception at Royal Vista Country Club in Walnut.

This was the first photo of the day. I love the symmetry of the pier bleachers! Charles and Susan look madhotsexy™ too!

No session in Santa Monica is complete without a photo in front of the Hot Dog Stick

Swing me baby! Higher! Higher!

Tell me again how much you love me …

They look awfully happy don’t they?

Found a new "spot" for photos at the pier. Always a good thing!

Charles has crazy good jumping skills!

Come into the water honey; it’s not cold!

I love candid photos. Or did I ask them to look at the top of the Cirque du Soleil tent in the pier parking lot?

I’m still amazed they could fit into this taxi! It’s tiny!

Charles and Susan are such a prize!
(you can groan now)

I love bright colors!

I couldn’t decide if I liked orange or blue better.

This pier fisherman was quite entertained by Susan and Charles.

Anyone want to guess who won?
