Hello! My name is Rustin Michael Cerveny and I am the namesake of the Rustin Michael brand.
I am based out of Los Angeles and specialize in wedding photography. This blog gives you insight to my personal and professional life, and features images from my shoots, my travels, and my friends and family.

This past Saturday evening I met with Justin and Melisa in Palos Verdes to shoot their engagement session. I am so glad the weather finally cooperated with us, several previous attempts to meet for the shoot were rained out.
Justin & Melisa are new parents with 11 weeks old twins. I had fun talking to them about being a parent and shared the news of our new little one coming in November. Justin, along with being a respected DJ, is an amateur photographer so we had fun chatting about cameras and lenses. I had so much fun, we could have kept shooting long after the sun went down. Justin & Melisa are getting married this coming September in Palos Verdes.
There were so many great shots from our evening together, it was hard to choose what to blog. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.
Last Saturday I had a blast capturing Emily & David’s wedding day. The day started off at the Embassy Suites in Downey, with Emily getting ready. By the time we left the hotel and headed over to Moravian Church for the ceremony, the forecasted clouds started to thin, and the sun started to peak through providing some beautiful light. The day ended with a formal reception at Rio Hondo Country Club.
My friend Brian Hamilton of Suite M came to assist me for the day. It was such a blast working with him, I hope we can do it again soon. Not only did Brian assist me but he also connected me with this fun couple. Brian is the owner and main photographer at Suite M Photography. Among being an awesome photographer, he also is an all around great guy. He is the first person I recommend if I am already booked.
Here are just a few of my favorites from Emily & David’s wedding.

I love this next shot of David, especially with the sepia toning.

Once again I am glad the clouds cleared up and the sun came out.
On Easter Sunday I headed over to Downtown Disney in Anaheim to shoot Cesar and Natalie’s engagement session. We managed to get the session in between a big earthquake and a rain storm. Even with these natural speed bumps the crowds were still out in full force making it challenging to find locations without a ton of people around. Easter along with Christmas tend to be some of the busiest days for Disneyland. Here are some of my favorite images from the shoot.
