Just before vacation, I shot the super-sweet John and Laura at Veranda’s in Manhattan Beach. It’s always such a pleasure to shoot at this intimate, lovely venue. And John and Laura were so kind and wonderful to work with. Here’s some favorites from the day….
Laura getting ready -

A little shot of her folks giving her away -

We had some killer light for the ceremony -

I love Veranda’s because you can get close enough to get shots like this -

Laura was so pumped to be getting married! -

After the ceremony, we wandered around Manhattan Beach to shoot some portraits -





I loved their cake -

I love the expression on Laura’s face in this image -

The first dance -

Laura bragged on several occasions that she introduced John to sushi, so I thought this would be a fitting ring shot for this extra-special couple -

To John and Laura:Â Thanks for sharing your infectious love and enthusiasm with me!
Delightfully Yours,
