Laguna Beach Wedding: Kathy and Steve

It's always flattering when people who work in the creative industry hire me as their photographer. Steve is a senior art director for a prominent website (hint: initials are A I) and I'm so glad that he and Kathy invited me to capture their beautiful wedding in Laguna Beach. We had so much fun during their engagement session that we were totally looking forward to this. Their family and friends were all so warm and friendly and just a joy to photograph. There are just too many great moments to post them all here, so these are just a few preview shots that I picked out.



The bride's brother getting ready.



The wedding party on both sides were so great to work with. This is a total guy shot and it was mostly unposed as they were walking down the hill.




We photographed Kathy and the girls in a home high up in the hills of Laguna Beach with an amazing view.









The wind was blowing a little so Kathy decided to have a little fun with it. This is just how silly and fun she is. I should mention here that Kathy skydives, a lot, and this is what she would probably look like if she were to have a wedding while skydiving.



While shooting the guys and girls at separate locations, the dogs in the neighborhood wanted to say hi. The adorable one below brought a tennis ball up to me to play fetch while I was shooting.




The cute flower girl smiled like this all the way down the aisle.








The interior of St. Mary's Episcopal Church is amazing with gorgeous hardwood and just as important, good air-conditioning.


Not pictured: The hundreds of people watching them being photographed, honking in their cars and congratulating them.




After a wedding, a bride just wants to relax and receive a foot massage.












During their engagement session, I told them to run on the beach and being the athletic types, they ran by so fast I could barely catch up. I learned my lesson so this time, I told them to jog by slowly.








One of my favorites of the day, Kathy and her beautiful expressions.












This cake topper has been passed down a couple of generations.




The lighting was perfect for their first dance.




The speech from Steve was emotional. It was quite endearing when he delivered his speech, and I'm so glad I was able to grab the gorgeous blue glow from the sky as it was disappearing.
