Mike & Jessica – Wearing the Past

Last month I headed out with my friends Mike & Jessica for a little photoshoot. We drove just down the road from me to a cool little spot in Marina Del Rey. Jessica brought along her Grandmother’s vintage dresses, that she wore when she was Jessica’s age. We had a blast grabbing some images together for a gift for Jessica’s Grandmother.

It is such a blessing to have Mike & Jessica as friends. Victoria and I are always happy when we get to spend time with them. Here are some of my favorites from our little shoot.

The Reef Wedding Photography – Long Beach – James & Jessica 11/14/09

This past Saturday I enjoyed shooting James & Jessica’s twilight wedding ceremony at The Reef in Long Beach. The Reef has a beautiful view of Long Beach, I just wish the outdoor ceremony would have been scheduled before sunset so I could have brought some of that into the background of many of my images. I was still able to get some incredible images from their wedding day.

The day started off with me capturing Jessica and her girls getting ready at her parent’s house in Montebello, CA. Keep reading below for some of my favorites from their wedding day.

Jessica making sure her girls are ready before getting her dress on.
