This past Sunday Robert & I had the pleasure of
photographing Ashleigh & Luke’s wedding at the fabulous Shade Hotel in
Manhattan Beach. Ashleigh &
Luke were the first couple to officially hire us to shoot their wedding. When I told Rob the good news, he
said “are they on crack?” But in
all seriousness we were so honored that I think we may have even been more
nervous about the wedding day than they were. We wanted their photos to be amazing after all the faith
they had put in us, so we teamed up with some local photographers and actually
shot 7 weddings before Ashleigh and Luke’s. Check out the results:
Ashleigh’s Winnie Couture gown hanging from above the Shade Hotel’s second floor balcony…
The “First Look”…
Luke’s Reaction…
The “Magical Jump”
and the “Heisman Trophy”
and this one- PMP!!!:
If you think getting 8-10 people in a group photo is difficult, try 90!!!!
Here’s some fun details of their day- Ashleigh’s hot shoes:
I know this is a crazy long blog post, but I would like to also acknowledge all of the great work from the vendors who were a part of Ashleigh & Luke’s day: JoLise and her team at the Shade Hotel Kerry at de Luxe Weddings & Events Anne at Pocket Full of Petals
