Ailene + Ryan || Married || Long Beach, CA

It was a pleasure for me to capture another one of Ailene and Ryan’s special moments as an addition to all that they’ve been through over many years. As wedding photographers we usually think we have the details of our couples pinned down, but boy did we learn a lot about Ailene and Ryan just from their wedding day itself. If I had been one of their friends watching them grow up over the years, I would have also been another firm believer that their wedding night was inevitable. Their story from the beginning of how they met, to their not-so-average dates, to all of the amazing times and memories they got to build with each other, is simply one of a kind.

Glenn, Dominique, and I had an amazing time the whole day with a lot of credit due to the bridal party and family for being fun and energetic from the get go. We started the day off at the iconic Hotel Maya, where we may or may not have sustained any head injuries and or damaged hotel property. We then finished off the night at The Grand with a nostalgic slideshow and an extremely detailed showcase of kissing methods (I took some notes for future references).

Thanks for having us out Ailene and Ryan, when we have our own Team Kevin Hall of Fame, you’ll be one of the first to be inducted in!
