Here's a fun little music video montage we put together from Jenna and John's Redondo Beach wedding. We began the day at Jenna's grandma's house in Palos Verdes, moved to Malaga Cove, by the historic library, for some fun portraits, then it was onto St. James Catholic Church in Redondo Beach for the wedding ceremony. Afterwards, we did couples shots by the Redondo Beach Pier, and then went back to Malaga Cove for a second round of pix. Finally, we ended the day at Ports O'Call in San Pedro for the reception.

Manhattan Beach Engagement Photos | Toni-Lynne & Robin
Twas a windy day in Manhattan Beach on Sunday, May 11, 2008, but love was in the air and all was okay. We met with Toni-Lynne and Robin, our June 28th Long Beach bride and groom to be, under the Manhattan Beach Pier, and then took a few minutes to set up an umbrella on our light stand--only to watch it want to fly away. So much for that! After a few shows, we decided to put the light stand and umbrella away and went for a great walk on the sand, stopping by a cool lifeguard station for a little shelter from the wind. Toni-Lynne and Robin were real troupers, and ready for anything--including laying in the sand, jumping in the water up to their knees (Poor Robin's jeans got soaked!) and Toni-Lynne hopping on Robin's back.
Looking forward to the Queen Mary next month--and a little less wind!
UCLA Engagement Photos by Graham & Graham
We usually photograph our happy couples at the beach, but Gaby and Dave both attended UCLA, loved it, and have chosen the Bruins as the theme for their July Los Angeles wedding. So it was off to Westwood for us, and we were thrilled to be there.
We're huge fans of Royce Hall and Powell Library as terrific backdrops, and have spent many hours at UCLA ourselves--including four years of an evening novel writing class with the great Claire Carmichael.
We met Gaby and Dave last year when she was a bridesmaid for her UCLA alum Marlen's wedding. Like Marlen and hubby Williams, Gaby and Dave will also have their wedding sweets provided by Westwood's own legendary institution, Diddy Riese, home of the 35 cent cookie.
Can't wait!
Manhattan Beach Engagement Photos | Olivia & Wesley
We met with Olivia and Wesley Sunday morning for a fun session by the sea. The week before it was so hot we could hardly stand outside. This weekend, when we started it was so cold poor Olivia was shivering. But the clouds started to part, and we were all able to warm up. We spent a good deal of time under the world famous Manhattan Beach Pier, in and around the sand and in the great overlook by the parking lot. The Pier is one of our all-time favorite engagement session locations. Olivia and Wesley are planning to wed at the historic Mary, Star of the Sea church in San Pedro, with a reception right afterwards at the stately Queen Mary in Long Beach.
See you there guys!
Jenna & John | Redondo Beach Wedding | Palos Verdes Portraits
Jenna and John met at Redondo Union in their sophomore year at high school, and nine years later finally tied the knot. They married on Saturday at St. James Parish in Redondo Beach, never forgetting their Redondo roots. Afterwards, we went to the bluffs by the old historic Redondo Beach library, by the Pier.
The amazing green grass field is in Palos Verdes, an open piece of property visible from Jenna's grandma's backyard!
Palos Verdes Wedding | Los Angeles Wedding Photography in Malaga Cove
Rain? What rain? If you look really closely at this wedding day shot of Jenna and John, you can see some raindrops on Jenna's eyelids. But love was in the air on 2/23/08, and Jenna and John were determined to pose for pictures by the historic Malaga Cove Library in Palos Verdes, California, no matter what. The wedding party came armed with umbrellas, and held them over their heads to survive the dropping pellets, until we yelled out, "Drop `em," for a quick shot. And guess what? We all survived! Malaga Cove is one of our all-time favorite picture spots, and we look forward to returning again and again.
Salt Lake City Jewish Wedding
A Jewish wedding in Salt Lake City? On Christmas Day no less? Don't laugh. Stranger things have happened. It was a glorious day (lots of blue sky and sun, no snowfall) for a simcha, complete with kosher food and klezmer music. And did we mention the absence of snow? A hearty mazel tov to the couple.
