February 18th Wedding at Rancho Las Lomas


Wow! Back to back wedding so early in the season! I am hurting a bit this Monday morning, but it was a great weekend. I am glad I bought that hot tub last summer!

Yesterday, I shot at one of my favorite Southern California wedding locations... Rancho Las Lomas. It was another beautiful day, a little cooler than Saturday's wedding... around 70, but a glorious day none the less.

I take pride in my "relaxed portraits" and they are a hallmark of my style, but this shot takes the cake. As soon as I arrived, I ran into the bride and groom just hanging out. I think I may have to start a t-shirt and robe series for those couples who see each other before the ceremony! ;)




Rancho Las Lomas is a gorgeous location for a wedding:




Nice kicks:




Flowers by Fantasy Floral:




A few more relaxed portraits:








The bride was very expressive:






My friend Masen came along and caught the flowergirl pelting me with rose petals (more photos will be on his blog soon):




The resulting image:




A couple more of the couple:






I think we have an early frontrunner in the cake of the year contest:




The cake topper was from her parents wedding in the 60's:




Cute flower girls (technical note to photographers: Canon 50mm/1.2 wide open. ISO 200, 580 Speedlight TTL, foofing off back and left wall/ceiling):




And if you read the fine print of my wedding contract it reads: "the photographer(s) shall be entitled to AT LEAST one slice of wedding cake":
