Riviera Resort Wedding Palm Springs (Kelly & Brian)

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 07:27:35 +0000

This wedding couldn’t get her fast enough. The day I heard that Kelly was engaged I was so happy for her. I’ve know Kelly for a little while now. Kelly works at The St. Regis. So I’ve worked on many weddings with her over the last couple years. I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of it. So I was so excited to be asked to be a part of this wedding. Also knowing that Kelly would have such a great team of vendors who are also friends of mine made it even that much better.

I have to list the amazing team she had. First of all I was so excited to be shooting it. But also that I got to shoot it with Lauren Hillary one of the JKP team. Lauren and I love shooting together. So getting to shoot with Lauren who is not only one of my team but a great friend made it that much more fun. We loved every minute of it.

Ceremony and Reception Music done by Tim Espinozsa and his amazing Electric Violin. You can book him through Invisible Touch. Tim and his violin should be at every wedding. Tim also does a great job as the reception Dj.

Getting Kelly beautiful for her big day was the great team from Design Visage.

Video was done by one of my favorites Zach & Rob with Elman Adam Films. These guys do such amazing work.

Also her officiant Rich Anderson really made it a special ceremony.

Plus working with the staff at The Riviera was such a pleasure. Everyone was so great to work with. The Riviera Resort in Palm Springs should for sure be on your list of locations to check out for your wedding.

She had such a great team working for her on her day I really wanted to mention them all.

It was amazing how great the weather also turned out for their day. A week ago everybody was worried that it might be to cold for an outdoor reception. That sure proved to be wrong. It was so beautiful outside. It wasn’t cold at all.

Kelly and Brian are just the perfect couple. Their family and friends were the best. Lauren and I had a blast photographing them all day. Especially at The Riviera. So many super cool backdrops for photos.

Saarloos & Sons Tasting Room Wedding (Summer & Michael)

I was super excited when Summer told me she was planning a small destination wedding. I’ve known Summer for a few years now. She is one of the catering sales managers at The Marriott Fashion Island. It always means so much to me when somebody in the wedding business asks me to be a part of their wedding. I had such a great time hanging out with her family and friends in Los Olivos. Such a great place for a weekend getaway. This town has such a great Main St with a bunch of tasting rooms. She choose Saarloos and Sons for the location of her wedding.

Dominican Republic Wedding @ Melia Tropical Punta Cana(Jesenia & Chris)

admin — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 12:54:46 +0000

I’ve been looking forward to blogging this wedding. It’s always exciting when you get to go shoot a wedding at a beautiful destination. When Jesenia & Chris first met with me I knew I wanted to be a part of their wedding. Plus the fact that it was going to take place on a beautiful island wasn’t a bad thing. It was a great couple days. We saw flying boats go by during the ceremony. We had a blast the day after the wedding. We did a day after shoot. We had some topless on lookers during that shot. As you will see. Good Times in the Dominican.
