Going to the Chapel…

One last touch…

Tony and Claudia love to surprise each other. This card is one of many thoughtful gifts the couple exchanged.

Claudia’s mom buttons up the bride’s gown.

These shoes are equally at home on the catwalk as down the aisle.

Ready…

Tying the Knot

Los Angeles, California
Michael shot these photos of Tony getting ready at his parent’s house. I love Tony’s serious gaze as his dad proudly helps adjust his collar.

Who says style is only reserved for the bride?
Tony shows off his cool cufflinks and watch.
Tony’s mom gives her blessing.
It’s said that love comes from the heart, but you can really see it in the eyes.

Congratulations Claudia & Tony!

San Pedro, California

I feel so lucky to have met Claudia and Tony. They are both so warm and kind. We saw each other a few times before the wedding so when their big day came it was more like shooting a friend’s wedding.
Photos are very important to this couple. I shot their newlywed portraits in the time between the ceremony and reception. We were running a little bit behind and I mentioned to Tony that I had a few more quick ideas but I didn’t want them to be late. Tony gave me the answer that photographers dream of… He said that the photos are really important to Claudia and that he wants to make his wife happy. And with that he gave me the go ahead to keep shooting.
Here’s one of those photos.

The photos session turned into a real cliffhanger… Stay tuned for more photos!

Fun With Villains

Los Angeles, California

Remember my post about Cirque Berzerk? I forgot to mention the awesome band Vaud & the Villains that performed after every show. I went back on Friday to see them again.
If you haven’t seen Vaud or his Villains, they are more than a band. They are storytellers regaling with tales of fast women and the men who try to catch them…

Vaud & the Villains
and musicians…
and singers…
and dancers…
and Peaches Mahoney…
and lots of fun!!!
