Jody and Stephanie's Wedding - Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes


Jody, Stephanie and I go all the way back to high school!  Their wedding was a little bit like a reunion for me.  They are such a fun couple.  This was one of the funnest weddings I've ever been to.  You'll see why...



I told her to pose with her hand on her hip for this shot and she did it the rest of the day.  Think someone has some modeling in her future...
























Welcome to the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, Ca.  They have more rules than they do seats but it's a pretty awesome venue overlooking the Pacific Ocean!



The moment they've all been waiting for...





I've never seen a bride break into the robot after their first kiss...there's a first time for everything!

Talk about enjoying the present moment!






After the Wayfarers Chapel we took a ride down to Shoreline Village in Long Beach and ran into Famous Daves...pig.  We had a little fun with him!



And we round out a fun day at the Reef in Long Beach.




And of course they danced their way into the reception!



Jody had to get prepared for the garter...then he had to get Stephanie prepared with a little lap dance!

And top it all of off with a little Folklorico dancing!


Congratulations to Jody and Stephanie!

Joe and April's wedding

Joe and April are the epitome of the magic that happens with my couples.  We've become great friends in the process.  They are such a fun couple to be around.  Their wedding was at St. Margaret Mary Church in Lomita and the Double Tree in San Pedro.

Donald McKinnon helped me with the photography for this wedding.  He is awesome - check him out here!

Here's some high lights of their wedding day...




A team effort...




I love a wedding full of extroverts!


Meanwhile Joe was getting a lesson on how to make a baby...


Ah, the curiosity...

  



Two of my favorites...







And what's a San Pedro wedding without a trip to the Korean Friendship Bell...on a windy day.





Got a little captain in you?





The first dance started off this way...

...and ended this way...it rocked!  Here's a video of it.






 And wouldn't you know it...A Sumo Wrestling match broke out in the middle of the reception.
