Queen Mary Wedding | Long Beach Wedding Photography by Graham & Graham

Toni-Lynne and Robin had their dream wedding at the historic Queen Mary Hotel on Saturday, June 28, and we were honored to be there to document the big day. Toni-Lynne grew up in Long Beach, where the Queen Mary is the iconic figure so closely associated with the city, so after Robin proposed, the Queen was her first choice for the reception. The big, beautiful "Britannia" salon was the setting, and full with friends and relatives of all ages--and lots of kids. Here's some highlights from the day--we'll be back in coming days with video highlights too.

Getty Center Engagement Photos | Los Angeles Wedding Photo.com

We were one of many, many photographers on a sunny, beautiful day at the Los Angeles Getty Center museum recently with Amy and Peter for their Los Angeles engagement photos. And why not? The Getty Center is one of the most glorious backdrops in the world. Fine art? Sure, but what's really spectacular for a photographer is the magnificent gardens behind the museum that just scream WEDDING! From the Getty, we look forward to joining Amy & Peter on August 9th for their Palos Verdes wedding at the Trump National Golf Course. Another incredible setting, this time with a dramatic overlook of the Pacific Ocean.
We've posted three of our favorite shots from the Getty Center engagement session, along with a little video montage as well. Enjoy!

Wedding Photography in Long Beach | Long Beach Queen Mary Reception

We love this Long Beach wedding video so much, we had to run it twice. Actually, we wanted to see the difference in embedding videos from our two favorite online video sites, Vimeo and Blip.TV. Vimeo is hands down our first place to post videos, with Blip.TV our second. Then we go to YouTube, which is the Web's most popular video site. However, the quality at YouTube pales to the other two.
Which do you think looks better, Vimeo or Blip.TV? Let us know!

The music video montage is from Olivia and Wesley's wedding in San Pedro and Long Beach. The couple wed at the Mary, Star of the Sea church, and then we moved to the classy Queen Mary in Long Beach for the reception. Longtime readers of this blog will remember Olivia and Wesley from their Manhattan Beach engagement photos session from April. Congratulation guys!

Torrance Wedding Video | Julie & David

Julie and David met online and fell in love. We met Julie and her mom Bonnie online as well and became friends--though not at a dating site! (It was the Digital Wedding Forum.) Bonnie and Julie run http://www.sunsetbride.com, a Torrance based wedding photography + wedding chapel business, and both have helped us out on wedding and bar mitzvah photo jobs in the past. So when Julie needed a photographer for her 5/31 wedding, she asked us, and we were more than happy to be part of the special day.
We set up two hi-definition video cameras at the city of Torrance's Japanese garden to capture everything, and here's our first online hi-def video clip. We think it looks fabulous. Agree?
P.S. That's Julie walking down the aisle with dad, also David, or make that Rev. David. Sunset Bride's know him well as the lead minister for most of their weddings.
