Aundrea and Nate had a beautiful day for their sealing in the Los Angeles LDS Temple.

The flowers were in bloom and the light was gorgeous.

I love the turquoise the wedding party was wearing and the bright colors in the bouquets.

Beautiful pink shoes and flowers!

And the best part was that they wanted to go to In-N-Out after their temple wedding, before heading off to the reception.  So we grabbed a burger at In-N-Out just down the street from the temple.

The lovely Rita and Booth (check out their Train Station Engagement Session HERE) chose The Maxwell House in Pasadena for their wedding venue, and I am glad they did.  I love the vintage architectural details and character of the Maxwell House.  It was a beautiful wedding.

In preparation for the ceremony, the guys played…

While the girls got ready.

Dad, looking out at the final wedding preparations.

And finally able to escort his daughter to the man of her dreams.

Booth was just beaming at his first glimpse of the beautiful bride.

I think he was a little excited to walk his daughter down the aisle and giver her away.

Beautiful ladies…

And a beautiful venue.

What more could you ask for?

A marriage!

Immediately after the ceremony, the newly minted bride and groom walked out to the Colorado Street Bridge to have a few minutes as husband and wife.

I just love the architecture of the Colorado Street Bridge. It is a lovely landmark, despite it’s notorious reputation.

When they came back to the reception, they were ready to party!

First dance as husband and wife…

Such a lovely couple. Thanks for allowing me to photograph your special day. I am truly honored.

I am so far far behind on posting photo shoots.  There is no way I could ever post them all at this point, so I am just going to share a few of my favorites and try to get a little more current.  Like maybe stuff that happened in the past year – haha.

So you may remember Greg and Anna’s engagement session at Balboa Pier.  Their wedding was equally spectacular – it’s definitely one of my favorites.  So without further ado, here is the gorgeous Anna getting ready.

I simply adored her dress.  Isn’t is fabulous?

Anna made the prettiest bride.  I love her smile.

Mom and sister seeing the beautiful bride.

It’s so hard to reach your shoes, when you are getting married.  lol

Loved her classy bouquet.

Heading to get married!!!  Eek!

Of course, the guys have fun until the last minute.

Great bow tie!

Anna and Greg were married at Saint Elizabeth’s Catholic Church in Altadena.  It is a beautiful church, inside and out.

Anna heading down the aisle with her father.

I love the giddiness and joy on Anna’s face.  She truly is excited to get married.

First kiss!

Married! I think they had the best exit I’ve ever seen.  They were so happy, they danced down the aisle. :)

Anna and her girls.

We were able to take a few portraits at Caltech before their reception.

Anna and Greg had their reception at Caltech’s Athenaeum.  One of the prettiest reception locations I have ever been to.  It’s so open and spacious, yet classic at the same time.

Their first dance!

I just had to include one from their toasts.  Their reactions were priceless.

I hardly ever include end of the night dancing shots, but I couldn’t resist with Anna and Greg.  They had the best moves and expressions I have ever seen!

This is one of my favorite dancing shots of all time.  The joy on Anna’s face is contagious.

Another past photoshoot I just have to share because it is spectacular.  You may remember Caitlin and Jonny from their amazing engagement session in San Dimas.  I could not wait to shoot their wedding and it did not disappoint.  Caitlin was beautiful and Jonny was as handsome as ever.

I always enjoy taking getting ready pictures.  It is fun to capture their details and see the day unfold while shooting candids.  Here is Caitlin’s gorgeous dress.

I loved this beautiful light coming through their hotel room.

Caitlin’s mom helped her get dressed, and I thought these were some of the most intimate and sweet moments between the two.

Jonny, like all guys, got to relax while the ladies get ready.  Watching the game with his friends…

But he cleaned up well.

Caitlin and Jonny decided to do a first look before their ceremony.  I love it when a couple decides to do this because it is a joy to capture their emotions in such an intimate and private setting.  Then they get plenty of time to talk and take some amazing portraits before they are whisked off to the ceremony and the hustle and bustle of the rest of the day.  Here is Caitlin and Jonny seeing each other for the first time.

Checking each other out…

After their first look, Caitlin and Jonny decided to go to the Pasadena Casting Club for their wedding portraits.  I loved the lighting and wild nature there.  It was the perfect place for their portraits.

After we took their wedding portraits, we met their wedding party at Holy Family Catholic Church in South Pasadena.

It was a beautiful ceremony.

Husband and wife!

After their ceremony, we headed to their reception at Ramsey’s at the Club in Toluca Lake.  Their first dance:

Mom and dad – so proud!

Instead of cake, they decided to have pie at their reception.  I thought this was so cool.

What a great group for dancing!

This little man melted my heart.  Love it!

Their getaway…

I realize that all my posts talk about how far behind I am at posting pictures.  I won’t apologize, I’ll just let you know that this wedding is from December of 2010!  Congratulations to Kyrie and Austen, the not-so-newlyweds.  :)

Kyrie and Austen were married at the Newport Beach LDS Temple, which is such a beautiful temple to be sealed in!  As we wait outside the temple for the couple to exit, the grounds are always such a peaceful and spiritual place.  We captured this image while waiting for Kyrie and Austen.

Such a sweet and loving couple.

I love the HUGE smiles on their faces.

Some wedding portraits in front of the Mormon temple:

After we took some portraits at the temple, we drove to Ventura where their reception was.  We had a few last minutes of light (read: a VERY few minutes – it was already twilight), so we took a few shots at the beach.

Kyrie and Austen’s reception was held at the Four Points by Sheridan in Ventura.  I loved that the addition of the Christmas decor.
