Palos Verdes Wedding Photography - Cara and Craig

they stop at nothing short of the best. so when i rolled up this past weekend to photograph cara & craig's wedding in palos verdes, california, i was thrilled. i knew all the details would be in order.

and they were.

carlie & i made our introductions with the bridesmaid's and immediately began collecting cara's accessories for some detail shots, which included a rocking pair of jimmy choo's. i told you this bride has style!

after some of the finishing touches were made, we raced over to the malaga cove plaza, to meet craig and the boys, for cara & craig's first look. from their, the day seemed to flow effortlessly, much thanks to lindsey & her stellar team with circle the date.

cara & craig, your ceremony was gorgeous, your party was rockin, and we can't imagine this year without having crossed paths with the two of you. as always, we are blessed by your invitation, but even more so by the value you have placed in what carlie & i have offered you. i don't think i have ever received so much praise, at a wedding reception, as i did from you, your family, and your guests. i was humbled & blessed.

enjoy.your.story.

i love the editorial feel of this pairing.

to our fellow photographer friends, fortunately cara had allotted more than enough time to shoot portraits before the wedding. but, i still find it helpful to grab a couple different angles on each shot, simply to offer a bit of variety... not to mention, it's incredibly time efficient. one pose - two photographs.
