I fell in love with so many images, I had to break this post up into two parts. Adriana is my ideal bride. She values photography and made sure to set aside plenty of time for portraits. I strongly believe in making sure to schedule at least an hour to an hour and a half for bride and groom portraits. One reason is because it gives us time to be creative and maybe travel to a different location. Another reason is because it’s probably the only time you will have some alone time together for the rest of the wedding. I like to step back and allow the bride and groom to really enjoy their day and bask in the happiness of marriage.
We started with a few portraits around the grounds of the chapel…
Then Adriana and Wayne being the fun couple they are, wanted to stop at Starbucks for a quick coffee and some pictures. I love how laidback they were and made sure to enjoy their wedding day and just have FUN!
Then we made our way down to the beach for a few more portraits.
Adriana you are so GORGEOUS!
Wayne you’re quite a handsome man.
These next two are my absolute favorites. I mean look at that sky and then look at their passion.
The reception took place at the Blue Water Grill in Redondo Beach. Again, Adriana and her girls did all of the decorations.
Adriana’s sister’s toast was my favorite. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house.
Right before dinner we snuck out for a few minutes to take a few more pictures around the marina in the gorgeous sunset.
Then Adriana and her father shared a dance.
Adriana surprised Wayne with singing “At Last” acapella just before they cut the cake. This girl can sing! I had goosebumps the entire time.
Adriana and Wayne, I wish you both the best. It was truly a pleasure capturing your love!
