Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Wedding Photography – Rommel & Nina – 04/28/2012

This past Saturday I shot Nina & Rommel’s wedding at the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels also known as the LA Cathedral. I have been wanting to shoot at the LA Cathedral for a couple years, so, when we first met last Fall to talk about their wedding day, I was really excited because I loved them as a couple and their venue choice. I am so glad they choose me to be there for their special day!!!

Going into Nina and Rommel’s wedding day I was really nervous and excited. This is a common occurrence to me and nearly every other wedding photographer, since we understand the importance of what we are about to capture. Even the fact that Nina & Rommel favorited 90% of their engagement photos on their online gallery didn’t help to calm my nerves and give me better night sleep the night before.

There are some many great photos from this wedding, here are just some of my favorites!!

The day started off at the iconic Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles capturing the girls getting ready.

As I was down in front of the cathedral capturing the processional Jonathan (my intern/Nina’s cousin) captured this amazing image of Nina waiting to walk down the aisle.

Here is my view of Nina coming down the aisle. I am so glad I rented the Canon 300mm 2.8L IS for the ceremony.
