A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of photographing Caroline and Gerard’s wedding here in Laguna Beach. They stayed at the wonderful Hotel 741, one of Laguna’s most unique, modern, boutique hotels.  A few close friends gathered for champagne and then headed down to the beach for the relazed ceremony.  Gerard and Caroline live in Switzerland, and decided  they wanted a california wedding. They are one of those couples that you just feel at home and connected with, immediately. I had a wonderful time and I love the images that we created, enjoy the slide show!

Last Weekend, Tosti Studios had the opportunity to hang out at the Festival of Brides at the The Four Seasons West Lake Village and meet some awesome couples. I always get excited meeting couples who are on their wedding planning journey and who are having so much fun coordinating their big day.  I’m especially impressed when the groom comes along! Extra points for that gentlemen.   To all you future brides and grooms out there, wedding planning might seem like a long and arduous process at times but trust me it’s all worth it in the end! We had a drawing for an engagement photoshoot giveaway, and the winner is…. ASAL SEDGHI!  Congratulations again Asal! I look forward to working with you! Please connect with us to schedule your shoot and talk about what we’re going to do to tell your story best.

I’ve known Jen for years and it was such an honor to photograph her wedding. Both Jen & Brad are really sweet and full of joy. The wedding was held at the church I grew up in, Mission Hills Community Church. That alone made it special. Dr. Mike Beals, the pastor, led an incredibly warm and inspiring ceremony, something that I think is often overlooked in the world of weddings.  The reception was held at the www.belltowerfoundation.org.  I had the pleasure of working with Gabriel Ryan, who shot with me as 2nd photographer. We had a great time working together!  Great coordinating by In The Now Weddings. The bridal party was awesome, lots of great friendships made for some great images.  Here is a little gallery of some of my favorites (look out for the shot of Gabriel and I). Thanks again, blessings to you Jen and Brad!

Married on September 26th at Seven Degrees, Michelle and Tim had a wedding that would compare to most star weddings. Michelle was quite the star too! You may remember seeing their engagement slide show, which was such a fun shoot! Check out their wedding slide show. Oh and a special request song by the couple for the slide show.

Madia and Brendan are some of the sweetest people I have ever had the priviledge of working for. This was a spectacular day on the coast.  Madia looked amazing didn’t she!?   She kept asking me in her wonderful Portuguese accent, “Are you hungry? You must have something to eat.”   Thank you both for your generoisty! There wedding was held at Laguna Cliffs Marriott in Dana Point, Ca. It was small, intimate, and there was an evident deep connection between the two of them and with their family. Here are a few shots from the wedding, the slide show will be up soon as well.  There were a few insane moments, my favorite was the “sparkler shower.”
