Beach weddings are so much fun, I loved the simplicity and non-tradional form of this wedding. It was just about celebrating their love with 15 of their closest family and friends with no glitz and glamour, again, I loved that! As I mentioned here previously, my photographer friend Lori allowed me to second shoot this wedding with her, thanks Lori.
Alanna met Brett through a patient of hers, she is a chiropractor and has the best posture… she really forced me to have good posture at least on that day.
They are both runners and had just completed the Boston Marathon right before their wedding, they live for laughter and adventure. Alanna is one of the most chill brides I have every met, she was so calm and had a go with the flow attitude that it shines through in their photos. She gave Lori and I the upmost liberty to capture their day how we saw fit, while her and Brett just enjoyed the process and the day.
Both Lori and I had so much fun with Alanna walking down the strand in Hermosa Beach capturing images and bonding. The best part was watching how the family interacted once we arrived at the ceremony spot, everyone was so loving toward each other. Shooting barefoot in the soft sand at sunset was just icing on the cake. Enjoy!
The first look.
Dad getting a picture of her daughter, it was so sweet… almost made me cry.
I loved the way her dress would bend with the wind.
Because the ceremony was at 7:00, 30 minutes before sunset with no clouds we had the most gorgeous golden light.
Thank you Alanna and Brett for showing us that a wedding can “really” be this simple and for sharing all your laughter and joy with me that day.
