This job is personality based. You have to be a pro at logistics, negotiation, project management – but you also have to meld your personality with your clients, their families, and vendors. I love that about this job, actually; I love meeting new people, gaining new insights into the world from the relationships I make, so it’s a perfect fit.
What a fun group! The bridal party, family, and friends had fun at the Santa Monica Pier photoshoot two days before the wedding.
Nick and Steph called me over a year ago about my services. They are Dallas-based and wanted a beach side, LA wedding, not just for the view, but to accommodate relatives flying from Asian and European locations (LAX is the perfect hub for such travels). From there, the adventure began: Searching for venues, landing the perfect spot, and constructing a day that wove in a Chinese tea ceremony, an ocean-view ceremony, and a killer after party.
A lovely Chinese tea ceremony prefaced the western Ceremony.
Jamaica's Cakes took the bride and groom's ideas and implemented them perfectly.
The architecture of a space is so important when considering event photography.
My favorite view of Villa Mara...
The party kept going into the night thanks to Chris Broulette, from California Sounds, and Michael C Events served up some delicious short ribs and a signature cocktail created by the bride and groom.
This crowd could dance!!
We keep finding excuses to keep in touch: Cleaning Steph’s dress, following up on the marriage certificate – you know, the usual! It was a pleasure planning their big day, and thanks to Jeromy Roberts Photography, we have glorious pictures to remember it by. Even more snaps in Galleries!
