Gorgeous Ranch Wedding in Oak Glen - Kim + Amanda

I was REALLY excited when Kim and Amanda told me that both of them would wear a wedding dress; it was my dream come true. :D I've photographed multiple gay weddings but I had this "fantasy" to photograph two brides in their wedding dresses. Two wedding dresses meant two bouquet tosses too. <3 Kim and Amanda met while playing/teaching soccer in 2009; since then, they've become nurses and graduated from Marine Corps (Amanda) and they bought a house shortly after their wedding, where I was invited for a quick lunch - we looked back their fun and emotional wedding day and talked about life, family, jobs, friends, and having babies in the future. One of the most fun things my job offers is that I get to grow with my couples and witness our lives unfold. Their wedding was held last fall at Homestead in Oak Glen, California, and Michael Bezman was with me to capture this beautiful autumn day.

 

 

Intimate Malibu Wedding - David + Zar

David and Zar live in Vancouver, Canada but their summer wedding held at Gull's Way in Malibu with close friends and family. Gull's Way is the late TV personality Dick Clark's house, and in fact, Beyonce was apparently staying next door to this estate for a quick vacation during their wedding ceremony. This international couple met in 2009 online and decided to settle in Vancouver, but Zar was born in Malaysia and grew up in Tel Aviv, Israel while David was born in San Diego but grew up in Westlake Village (between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara). I always wonder what my wedding would be and honestly, I get ideas from my own clients every weekend. And this intimate wedding with about 30 people would probably be mine if there's a wedding. I'm not sure if my family can make it (like Zar's family couldn't), but I know the wedding will be filled with emotions like theirs - nervousness, excitement, happiness, and a little bit of sadness for those who couldn't physically be there. 

Intimate Backyard Wedding in La Canada - Matt + Keagan

Someone once asked me which one was my absolute favorite wedding I've photographed. I mumbled a little and didn't have an answer for it, and I don't think I will ever. I can't choose one. It's such a difficult question, equivalent to asking a little kid if they like their mom or dad. Anyway... long story short; I really enjoyed photographing Matt and Keagan's heartfelt wedding at Keagan's parents' house in La Canada last summer. Matt and Keagan live in Washington, DC but married here in Southern California surrounded by their close friends and family.

Keagan's dad, such a loving person, had decorated the entire place; no he's not a florist but yes, he's THAT talented. It was a beautiful day packed with joyful emotions and I hope you enjoy a little glimpse of their wedding day!!
