San Pedro Wedding | Mary, Star of the Sea | Old Ranch County Club

Fireworks were in the air–literally, after Annie and David tied the knot last Saturday–7/4/09.
Annie–she of the most expressive face we’ve ever had the good fortune of photographing–and David, wed at the historic Mary, Star of the Sea church in San Pedro–where we shot our very first paid wedding back in 2003!
The reception afterwards was at the lovely Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach.
Let’s talk about the pictures:
We can’t get enough of the opening shot of Annie, lit like a movie star, holding her flowers in the church.
Next up: Annie and David enjoying the fireworks display at Old Ranch with a heartfelt embrace and kiss, and the couple, earlier in the day, on the same spot, out on the golf course.
For “wedding prep” days, we absolutely love photographing the bride in her home. There’s just something so much more personal and loving there than in a hotel room.
Love this moment with Mary and her mom in the living room of their Rancho Palos Verdes abode.
More shots at the country club, golf course and church, followed by another all-time favorite.
Annie’s dad is taking one last week at his daughter, before giving her away to David. The expressions are priceless.
Look for more here in the coming weeks–one highlight is a video clip of the couple cutting the cake–and the guests all serenading them with “Volare.”

Torrance Wedding Photography | Video Montage by Los Angeles Wedding Photo.com

A video montage from Cathy and Earl’s Torrance wedding, by Graham & Graham Photography of Manhattan Beach. Cathy and Earl live in Northern California, but wanted to wed in the South Bay, where the parents live. They also requested romantic post-wedding couple shots in the “most beautiful” spot in Southern California. So naturally, we took them to our favorite, to the stunning  beautiful Malaga Cove section of Palos Verdes.

Palos Verdes Wedding Photography | Trump National Golf Course | Amy & Peter

There’s a reason couples choose Palos Verdes for their Los Angeles wedding spot–it’s the most beautiful spot in Southern California, hands down. Amy & Peter had their Palos Verdes wedding last weekend at the Trump National Golf Course, an incredible facility that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, from Santa Catalina Island to Malibu.
The beautiful Amy promised to wear three different dresses (two white and one red) at the wedding, and did not disappoint!
