There was standing room only as the two exchanged vows at St. Paul's in Pismo Beach and yet, Adriana and Steve seemed completely immune to it - locked into the gaze of the other - as though they were the only ones in the sanctuary.
After the ceremony we followed Cameron and Cameron (Cameron's assistant... I know, it got confusing) down to a small beach in Pismo where Adriana fearlessly braved the rocks and led us into a photo session of epic proportions. From the wind gently blowing Adriana's veil across the lenses of our cameras to the electric blue sky and foamy ocean, I couldn't stop recording. Scorsese would have been jealous. Okay, maybe not, but it was "movie magic." Let's just leave it at that. ;-)
From there, Elegant Image's Denali took the couple back to the Madonna Expo Center for their massive reception where a Mariachi band, self-serve candy bar, photo booth, and over 600 friends and family members eagerly awaited their arrival. From there, not one... not two... but three DJ's spun the music into the night.
Elegant Details blew my mind yet again... Ricardo and Susana are today's van Gogh... but with flowers instead of paint brushes... Every time I get to see their work, I'm totally floored. Kramer Entertainment accented their floral arrangements with an arsenal of pink lighting.
All in all, this day was off the hook! I hope you enjoy catching a glimpse into the crazy-awesome magnitude of this wedding!
Cameron Ingalls is one of my favorite photographers. His gift and passion for what he does rocks my face off. Below are some of my favorites.
Ever wondered what a reception for over 600 people looks like? Look no further.
Adriana already looked stunning, but she took it to a whole new level when she rocked the Dior sunglasses Steve gave her.
Looks can be deceiving. Behind those sunglasses and tough stares are some of the coolest guys you'll ever meet.
Like I said. He has a gift. In the blip of a second, Cameron captures the love and personalities of his subject. Of course, Adriana and Steve make that task a little easier...
So cool. After several flights of stairs and a trek over some rocks, the wind started playing with Adriana's veil, making for some unbelievable footage.
Adriana and Steve, thank you so much for the joy of sharing in your wedding day. It was a pleasure getting to capture it all through the lens of a camera. Best wishes!
