Long Beach Wedding Photographer | Long Beach Wedding | The Madison

Rose and Adam had their big day in Long Beach over the weekend, in a "rose" themed wedding from the flowers to the wedding cake. We are fighting the urge to say that it was a "rosy" day or any cliche like that, but the couple sure seemed happy, and the flowers added a wonderful glow to Rose--who probably would have been glowing anyway.
The wedding was held at St. Cornelius church, followed by a reception at the Madison on trendy Pine Avenue. The Madison is a former bank--brides and grooms get to pose by the vault, as seen here.
Here's 11 highlights from Saturday's fabulous Long Beach wedding.
