San Pedro Doubletree Hotel Wedding | San Pedro Wedding Photographer

Cecile and Bryan thought it would be really cute to bring along some frames for their San Pedro wedding at the Doubletree Hotel. The notion was for friends and family to pose in style. So much so, the couple even had a little frame sitting atop their wedding cake.
So during the reception, we couldn’t resist–we had to ask the couple to pose as well with a frame, right on the dance floor.



The ceremony was held at the Doubletree as well, a big and popular facility–so much so, there were multiple weddings going on
at the same time. Luckily, our couple got one of the prettiest alcoves, full of greenery, without any distraction from the other weddings. Parking was even plentiful–and free. The hotel is by the water, a short one-block walk away–and a great backdrop for photos.

Redondo Beach Wedding Photographer | Chart House by the Sea

A lot of folks dream of the perfect Redondo Beach wedding on the sand, on a private beach, with an amazing backdrop of ocean waves and rocks, and incredible food nearby for the reception. Such a dream became a reality for Vivian and Eric a few weeks ago for their dream Redondo Beach wedding at the Chart House and Crystal Cove,

The Crystal Cove apartments own the private beach, and works with the Chart House to run the private beach wedding ceremonies, which come with an indoor or outdoor reception afterwards, catered, naturally, by the Chart House.





It was the second time around for the bride and groom, so we especially loved capturing the big, happy combined new family by the sea, as pictured above!

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.

Pacific Palisades Portrait Photographer | Bat Mitzvah

We met with Maddie at our all-time favorite Los Angeles portrait setting--Temescal Canyon Gateway Park, for this "sign-in" board session for her upcoming June Pacific Palisades Bat Mitzvah. Who could believe we're in the middle of a city with this amazing backdrop?

Manhattan Beach Family Portraits

We'll never forget Ruth and Shane. They were (are) one of our favorite couples of all time, and we had a ball and lots of laughs photographing their wedding in 2007.
So it was a huge thrill when Ruth called and asked us to shoot some family and pregnancy shots of her and the gang, as they prepare for baby #2.


We started the Manhattan Beach family portrait session at their home in the South Bay, before heading down to the Manhattan Beach Pier on a glorious, sunny Saturday morning.


We kept asking Max to give us a big smile--these aren't funny faces he was making at us, but the poor kid trying to do his best and give us a smile.

Finally--success!

Los Angeles Jewish Wedding Video | Beverly Hills Jewish Wedding

A few weeks ago we shared some of the terrific Jewish wedding photos from Michal and Rafi's Beverly Hills wedding. Now it's our pleasure to show off the 3-minute highlight video from their wedding, produced for Graham & Graham Photography by David Medill and his Medill Films.
The orthodox wedding was in the heart of Beverly Hills, at Nessah Synagogue, complete with a clarinet player blowing away on "Siman Tov." Watch the clip--it's a lot of fun!

Long Beach Bar Mitzvah | Long Beach Photographer | Temple Israel

If it's Saturday, we're in Long Beach--or at least that's the way it's been this fall, photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs at Long Beach's Temple Israel.

This Saturday we spent the morning and afternoon with Blake and his fun family, doing family pictures in the morning before photographing the Bar Mitzvah, and then going back to the family house, where dad hauled in snow for the kids to play in.
How big is a fan of Blake to his dad? Just look at the priceless expression from the bima here!

We look forward to returning next weekend for Isaac's big day!

Los Verdes Golf Course Wedding | Palos Verdes Wedding

Here's a fun slideshow we put together from Krystie and Ernie's fabulous wedding reception at the beautiful Los Verdes Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. The facility is up "on the hill," with an amazing, sweeping panorama view from Catalina to Malibu.

Manhattan Beach Family Photographer | Manhattan Beach Portraits

If it's Thanksgiving, it's time for holiday cards!
And that's how we spent the weekend, helping families with their holiday cards, with classic Manhattan Beach family portraits.
We began on Friday, with our new friend Bill at Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach. His family from Michigan called to get photos to distribute to all the family members, and we were happy to oblige.

Then Saturday it was off to Pacific Palisades, to meet Matt, Nancy and their lovely young daughter at the Santa Monica Mountains hiking facility off Temescal Canyon. What an amazing backdrop! This was our third annual holiday card for the gang, and we look forward to many years more.

Finally, we met with our old friends Rich and Lisa, to photograph their family, again for year no. 3, at their home in Manhattan Beach. This was the best shoot ever, and we can't wait to see the new holiday card!

We closed the weekend on the sands of Manhattan Beach with the Stewart family from Long Beach, for classic Manhattan Beach family portraits under the Pier.


Thanks everyone, for the fun weekend by the sea!

Automobile Driving Museum Bar Mitzvah Party | El Segundo

Here's more pix from Liam's Bar Mitzvah party at the El Segundo Automobile Driving Museum. Liam made his grand entrance in a classic blue Thunderbird, driving right onto the dance floor, where he jumped out of the car and danced the afternoon away with many, many of his friends.
