Palos Verdes Wedding Photography by Graham & Graham

Ruth and Shane were married on June 30, 2007, at the Neighborhood Church in Palos Verdes. Ruth and Shane are posing in front of the church--with the big classic clocktower--and by the sea, right up the road from the church, overlooking the ocean. We were about to start taking pix by the side of the road, when a neighbor called to us "You want to use our backyard? You won't regret it." The lovely couple had one of those killer views of the Pacific Ocean, from "PV to Malibu," as the realtors like to say, and we happily took him up on the offer.
Afterwards, we dashed to the Portofino in Redondo Beach for the reception, where you see Ruth and Shane in black and white, enjoying their first dance.

A Santa Barbara Wedding

Sala and Chris tied the knot at a park in Santa Barbara, and afterwards, we headed off to the incredible courthouse for portraits. For the black and white shot, we took advantage of the natural sunlight seeping through one of the windows. The color portrait was taken in the back of the courthouse, on a glorious circular staircase lined with beautiful spanish tiles. At Graham and Graham Photography we're always on the lookout for insanely great locations. The courthouse is a photographer's dream!

Beverly Hills Wedding on Rodeo Drive

This is from one of our favorite photo shoots. Maria had her hair done at the legendary Jose Eber on Rodeo Drive before the wedding, and we went out on Rodeo to shoot some portraits of the bride. A guard came up to us and ordered us to stop, saying Rodeo was on private property. Jose himself intervened, and now we get to show you the beautiful Maria, from one of the ritziest streets in the world.

A Fairy Tale Los Angeles Wedding

Steven and Jessica had a "fairy-tale" wedding in the backyard of Steven's grandma's house in Calabassas, on a glorious May afternoon, marching down the aisle to music from "Cinderlla." The happy couple snuck away inside moments after the big event to steal a quiet kiss. Happily we were there to document it!
