Wedding photography at Queen Mary, Long Beach

With a graphic design background, Kellie's do it yourself nature added such a personal touch to their nautical theme aboard the Queen Mary. Once you step aboard the ship, you are whisked away to the 30's era. I took it a step further with the post-processing and added a vintage touch to the photos. The photography coverage was five hours so we focused on the preparation, portraits and ceremony. Beautiful weather & flowing champagne kicked off their day at Spa Syndney for hair and makeup. Preparation is an exclusive time with those dear to your heart so I was very excited that Kellie wanted it documented. What stood out the most was how Kellie's smile radiated in every picture, other than her tears over Noah's vows, she was grinning with excitement. Kudos to Noah who memorized his vows, & not only brought tears to his bride but those who witnessed their service...ok, including me. He also suprised all with his ceremonial kiss as he dipped his bride in sytle and elegance. They are truely a special couple who enjoy the outdoors and are the best of friends. Now, that's a fairy tale ending. Thank you Michele Menier for your creative talent as my second shooter.
