After Pam and Larry’s fabulous engagement session in Santa Monica, I was certain that their wedding day would be amazing. And I was right! We started the day at Pam’s childhood home Glendale (only minutes from Pasadena). Vanessa Stump, my second photographer for the day, met Larry and the groomsmen at the Courtyard by Marriott in Pasadena.

Pam’s dress was crazy amazing! It was designed by a student at the Fashion Institute! When Pam was dressed and the guys dressed, we all drove over to the Tournament House and Wrigley Gardens in Pasadena. It was there that we set up a first look and Larry saw Pam in her wedding dress for the first time. The Tournament House was a great backdrop for a few creative photos before the ceremony. The wedding ceremony at First United Methodist Church in Pasadena, California. During that ceremony, the Officiant told a touching story of how Pam and Larry first met and fell in love. Everyone in the building was smiling or crying by the end of his tale. After the ceremony we took a few family portraits and left for Altadena Country Club for the reception. Larry played his guitar (he’s a real rock star) and we were treated to a piano solo by his mother. A great time was had by all!

I intentionally positioned Pam’s dress to showcase her grandfather’s paintings in the background.

This is my favorite photo from the wedding day!

I liked this one a bunch too!

Many brides and grooms see each other before the ceremony. Here are bridesmaids and groomsmen
counting down to zero. Larry then turned around and saw Pam in her wedding dress for the first time.

Pam and Larry brought along their favorite reading materials. For folks who know them, 
Vogue and the business section of the LA Times typify Pam and Larry’s personality.

The First Dance

When you have bubbles at your wedding, the fun never stops!

I was super stoked that Courtney and Scott selected me as their Los Angeles wedding photographer! And predicted, their wedding day turned out to be really beautiful. It was also particularly nice since it was the first "mild" day of the season. Both their ceremony and reception were held at the Westlake Village Inn in Westlake Village, California. For this wedding, Vanessa Stump was my second photographer. She did an outstanding job capturing the many details of the day!

And here are the bride and bridesmaids looking madhotsexy™ as the women in blue.

Now how could I not have a good time photographing the flower girl and ring bearer?

Here we have the bride’s mom sharing a fine photograph with the bride’s aunt and father.

The bride’s uncle was a real character. I really wanted his hat!

Here’s the wedding party just before they
make that long march down the aisle!

We’re married! Blow me some bubbles!

Scott looks awfully happy walking Courtney back down that aisle.

When it came time for family portraits, I couldn’t resist allowing this laid back future photojournalist to get some for himself.

We’re walking …

We’re kissing …

And we’re laughing.

Scott needed to find Courtney’s bouquet, so while we
waiting for his return, I asked to see her happy dance.

Shiny happy people holding hands …

"So now that I’m under this veil, what am I supposed to do?"

Scott’s mom likes to tell fun and embarrassing stories.
