LOS ANGELES & LA HABRA, CALIFORNIA - Something occurred to me as I was preparing this blog from Adriana and Steve's wedding in April of 2019. We really hit the objective in our wedding photography. Looking back at these moments, I remember the emotions of this day and how beautiful this wedding was. I am glad that I decided to go back and remaster some of these old weddings to enhance the experience of our photography. Let’s dig in...
I remember waking up early for the drive to Los Angeles to meet with Adriana and give her a pep talk for her wedding day. The drive never feels long when you do weddings. You become anxious to get started and hope that nothing goes wrong. Yeah, it's true. At least for us photographers, we get anxious for every wedding day we photograph. But these feelings disappear when my foot hits the ground upon arriving at the bride's place where she will be getting ready.
We arrived at Adriana's home and were greeted with a mixture of smiles and chaos as the family and Adriana were getting ready for the big day. The same could be said when I arrived at Steve's home, where Adriana and Steve would nest as newlyweds. Maria and I got to work capturing the moments and details that would be on display during this life-altering day.
Once ready, we arrived at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, where the coolness of the air conditioner relieved us from the warm day, while the smiles and love filled us with warmth for the occasion. We captured so many beautiful moments before, during, and after the ceremony.
In the L.A. area, it’s often hard to find natural places, so we have to resort to parks. We usually don't choose parks because of their cold and unnatural aesthetics, but we were happy with this little park we found in the middle of a community. It was close to a natural reserve that bordered part of the park. It was perfect! It was the perfect backdrop for these two lovecats to enjoy their first moments as Mr. and Mrs.
When we arrived at the reception, it was an incredible scene and vibe! The reception was full of moments, from tear-jerking emotions to stomach-busting laughs. It was such a great reception with great music, great food, and amazing moments. It was the perfect scene to celebrate the young love between Adriana and Steve. It was amazing!
