Wow,  I had a blast at Kathryn and Tom’s wedding.  Everyone came to the wedding and reception ready to have fun and of course to witness the union between Kathryn and Tom :)

The story of how I met Kathryn is quite interesting. My cat, Misty, of 11 years fell seriously ill and I brought her to the local pet hospital.  I didn’t want to bring my beloved kitty to just any vet so I searched and read the reviews of all the vets within a 10 mile radius and decided on Dr. Scherer from the Warner Avenue Animal HospitalAddress:‎ in Fountain Valley.  Dr. Scherer was fantastic and is highly recommended by this pet parent. Well, the lady at the front office was Kathryn (she’s really a marine biologist and volunteers at the hospital) and she happened to be wearing a big rock on ring finger. We briefly spoke and I gave her my business card and went on my way to take care of Misty’s issues.  Kathryn calls me up about a month later and the rest is history, as they say…

Kathryn, wanted to make sure that we captured Tom’s expression when he first sees’ her book of boudoir images.  I think we all know what’s going through Tom’s head by the classic expression on his face.

Kathryn is quite the gifted bride. She made these cuff-links and many of the details captured throughout this wedding.

Wow, check out that rock by Tracy Allen Fine Jewelry, located at The Grove.  It’s a custom designed piece.

I absolutely adore this photograph of Kathryn at the bottom of the spiral staircase. I couldn’t have hoped for a better composition. The soft radiant light glowing off her gown and shoulders is perfect. We had just finished the getting-ready sessions and was heading to the lobby for some formals. I asked the wedding party to hold back a bit and had Kathryn walk down first and perform a little spin at the bottom. If I had to nit-pick, I would like to have liked to see that desk and notepad disappear.

According to Kathryn, she and her brother often fought as kids.  There are a few more consecutive action shots of their rock-paper-scissors game, and in every one that I captured, Kathryn had won! Better luck next time, Jeff.

The owner of this vacuum cleaner mysteriously disappeared while we were shooting. We had a bit of fun with the vacuum while the owner was away.
