Jane + Griffin #2 | The Parker Hotel | wedding photography

david — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:50:10 +0000

Yes! It only took me a week to get to Jane & Griffin part II posted! (gosh I’m slow). This next series are some of my favorite environmental portraits of J & G and the ceremony. The Palm Springs light was fantastic! Jane and her flower girls went for a walk to The Parker lemonade stand for a little pre-ceremony sugar high. Jane’s nephew George is the man! As the featured musical guest, he picked up his violin, and then,the brief moment where you wonder what on earth he’s going to play…then….WHAM….the theme to Star Wars (mind blowing). Jane’s tears roll down her cheeks and I wanted to yell “YA GEORGE!” but, I was able to restrain myself. Jane’s Father, a sweet heart of a man, officiated the ceremony . What a proud daughter Jane is, you can see it in her eyes as she walked with him down the aisle. Enjoy these and up next is the reception, and my morning after shoot with them. Turn in next year, I mean this week to see the final images. p.s. I love the blurry black and white image of them kissing, I took right after the ceremony…can you feel it?

Jane + Griffin #1 | The Parker Hotel Palm Springs

Jane + Griffin + 4 days at The Parker Hotel and life is good. Especially the time I had at the P.S.Y.C. (I love that steam room!) I wanted to blog a few different posts about their wedding because there are so many details and fun moments. So we’ll start here with the getting ready, first look, and a few portraits from our creative shoot. Lots more to come in the following posts, but this will get us started. Jane wore two amazing dresses from The White Dress, Manolo Blahniks, while Griffin rocked a very classy double breasted tux, prada shoes, and he likes to play guitar and sing, which was quite the ending to the wedding “after party” in the lounge. Here’s a few and then check back Monday for some new detail images, the ceremony and reception…

Erin + Justin | Soka Wedding Slideshow

This was my first wedding of 2012 and it was so frickin awesome to work with these two. Erin was relaxed and had so much with her girls and Justin is the king of mellow. I believe we will see them in about 50 years, still loving and enjoying each others’ time here. We also created a fine video highlight for them. Thanks again to Leesa, Soka and Mariners for their fine work to create a beautiful day for these two!

I’m thrilled to post this video today! These two are a fantastic couple on planet earth, genuine and free! Erin is sweet and Justin, well he’s sweet but he likes fine beers, and that makes him even more sweetest. My wedding photos are coming soon, but in the meantime check out this highlights edit for our brilliant videographer, Ariel. He rocked this one, and I love how much personality you see from the two of them. So, if you’re like justin, pour a Pliny the Elder or a Ranger IPA and enjoy this one. Congrats you two!

Avita and Ravinder are truly an amazing couple. They have spent much time living and working in different parts of the country and to see their love for one another in person is fabulous. They were married at the Warner Center Marriot and Cuckie did a fantastic job coordinating the wedding! We had an incredible time working with them and their families. I wish them a full life of love and hope that their love continues to grow through the years. Enjoy this video!

What do you get when you mix Jane + Griffin, their amazing family and friends, & 4 days at Le Parker Hotel. Mind blowing awesome-ness. Yes. I also have to say that they picked two GREAT songs for their video, the 2nd one is one of my all time favorites. Hats off to Nancy who did a fabulous coordinating and it was a joy to work with her. Please enjoy their video as much as we do! (p.s. Griffin is a huge Phish head, and he had a great idea for their exit)

Becky + Brady | wedding slide show | Orange county wedding

david — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:46:50 +0000

I’ve known Becky since I was born, or maybe just before that. It’s a bit of a blur, but I’m pretty sure we did several junior high and high school camps together. We hadn’t talked and then out of no where, “hi It’s Becky and I’m getting married.” The wedding day was like stepping into an awesome time warp where every time I turn around with my camera I’m realizing it’s someone I knew in another lifetime.

Becky found this really good guy named Brady. He’s…well, a really nice guy. It’s always amazing to reconnect with someone, get to photograph their wedding AND see them married someone super cool. Congrats you two!

p.s. Their wedding was at Vanguard University and Reception at El Adobe, so we got some good shooting time by the train station and Los Rios St.

Thank you Jessica and Ryan. You both were incredible to work with and I absolutely love how you two are together. Ryan your vows were so strong, all respect to a man who can speak his true heart. I hope in the future, your kids can see the real, true love you have for each other now and be reminded of it when they watch this highlight. Thank you again for allowing me to photograph your day and for allowing us to create this video for you. Your family and friends were amazing, hysterical and I enjoyed getting to know them. Please thank them for making me laugh.

Cheers to you!

David

p.s. I’m still blown away. Thank you for the custom oakley’s with the “tosti studios” logo in the corner. WOW. I guess I’m sponsored now?

p.s.s. thanks to Leesa at FDL who did a fabulous job coordinating and well, she’s just sweet.

Jessica + Dan | Destination wedding – Ravello Italy | video

david — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 22:58:59 +0000

Jessica and Dan choose one of the most beautiful places on earth for their wedding and it was…epic. Jessica and the girls got ready at Villa Cimbrone (home to many celebrity weddings), the ceremony was held at Villa Eva, and the reception over the water Torre Normanna The weather was absolutely perfect and the food was incredible. I can go on for days about this experience but you’ll probably get a better idea by watching their video. Thank you again to you both, I am so grateful that we were able to document your wedding!
