It has been a while since I stepped foot into Ebell in Long Beach! Oh, how I miss it here so much. Danny and I started our day with Martha and the gals dolling themselves up at their favorite salon, while Michael and the boys shaved and jumped into their tuxedos. Of all the wonderful events that happened at Martha and Michael’s wedding, the most memorable event that stuck with me was their invitation. Martha and Michael purposely printed their wedding invitation for the ceremony at Eball to happen an hour before the actual ceremony because they knew that their family and friends always show up late. In this case, everyone showed up right on time before the wedding commenced! Enjoy the show.

Since the wedding ceremony took place after sunset, we lit the entire hall with studio strobes from the second story! Aside from having everything lit, I am a total sucker for dramatic lighting in photos.

Dollar dance to fund their honeymoon!

Congratulations again, Martha and Michael!

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

Our next adventure takes us to Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach where Jenn and Kevin tied the knot. Jenn and Kevin both prepared themselves at Hyatt Hotel, which is conveniently across the street from Aquarium of the Pacific. We started our day hovering around Jenn while her and the ladies dolled themselves up. I do not know the specific shade of blue Jenn chose for her dress, but it really matched the ocean theme. Grab your swimming trunks…this wedding is going to get a bit wet!

Father of the bride started his afternoon off with some champagne =)

Now that’s teamwork – Mother helps her daughter, daughter helps her sister!

Aquarium of the Pacific is an amazing venue to get married! I love how the fish tank in the back makes up the entire background for their wedding ceremony!

Now that is a furious wedding cake picture =)

After the ceremony, I took Jenn and Kevin around the Aquarium for their portrait session. Since Aquarium of the Pacific is home for sea animals, our portrait session felt more like a tour than anything else. Of course we managed to pull out some really cool shots!

The fish tanks on each side of the wall is home for many sea lions. Unfortunately, they were all sleeping by the time we got there.

First dance as husband and wife!

Father and daughter dance =)

For anyone who wants an ocean themed wedding, Aquarium of the Pacific might match your taste! Thank you Jenn and Kevin for the wonderful memories. Special thanks to Steve Hoffmann for inviting me to photograph with him.

Peace,
