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!

Maegan + Kevin || Married || Turnip Rose, Travel Theme Wedding

I love getting to know my couples. Making their day personal, finding out how they met and what makes them, them. Maegan and Kevin are the best example of our photos being personal and meaningful. Maegan and Kevin’s story and relationship are truly one of a kind, and as I got to know them, and watch them through their wedding day, I really got to see exactly why. Their vows, their relationship, their love is beyond what any words can describe and I’m honored to have witnessed it and been able to capture each moment.

Thanks to Delta, Maegan and Kevin had tons of props and memorabilia to display at their wedding as well as the photos from our SNA airport photoshoot. Maegan and Kevin had so much to shoot that we actually set a record on the most photos we’ve ever taken at a wedding with just two photographers and this one will really test your bandwidth. You’re going to love these details as much as I did as well as their family and friends. Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day, I’m glad to be able to capture every moment! Please enjoy!
