Wedding photography at The Grand, Long Beach

Soraya and Scott are truly soul mates. Their engagement session left me in anticipation for their wedding day. They are easy going so I knew their wedding would exude their relaxed style and personality. Soraya's dress fit like a white glove, it was the perfect gown to compliment her curves. Feathers seemed to be the bridal trend this year and it was Soraya's signature touch. Signal Hill park was where they exchanged their first look. There are two schools of thought over seeing each other before the ceremony. I'm all about the first look not only from a photographer's standpoint - my husband & I did a first look on our wedding day too. It's an intimate time that a couple would not get otherwise on their wedding day. Another big trend this year is a photo booth at the reception, Soraya and Scott were the last one's to swag out and hit the booth. I just had to peek in at them so of course I included that photo as one of my favorites from the day. Your wedding was just as beautiful as you both and I thank you for allowing me to capture it. A big thank you to Maribel Farina, your coverage was perfect and your pictures are stunning.
