Alexandra & Chris

I met Alexandra and Chris last summer and I first got the pleasure of shooting their engagement session at The Mother's Beach in Marina Del Rey.

Alexandra & Chris had the afternoon to themselves and I was there to document it

They got ready at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.

We make sure the client has a variety of detail shots

The ceremony took place in a wonderfully unique rotunda of Los Angeles Public Library's Central Branch.

The couple's choice of reception venue was as unique and as beautiful as the ceremony location.  The Edison is a wonderful venue built and designed in the old power plant in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles.

A fun and fantastic swing quartet took stage at times and mesmerized the guests with their Parisian approach following in the footsteps of Django Reinhardt.

When I was done for the night, the couple and their guests were just warming up
to continue the celebration until the wee hours of the morning!
