A couple weeks ago Brian and I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Kristen and Phillip. I am truly at a loss for words to describe the emotion and love that was obvious to everyone who had the pleasure and honor of attending this wedding. Kristen and Phillip (and their amazing friends and family) were an absolute joy to work with. In addition to being incredibly photogenic (it was so hard to narrow down a few photos for this entry) they hardly needed any suggestions at all; they way they naturally interacted with each other was beautiful to capture and they were unbelievably receptive to anything we did suggest (and had a few great ideas of their own.)

The wedding was held at the Repertory Play House in Santa Clarita. Kristen, Phillip, and their friends absolutely transformed the theatre. No matter how many years I've been doing this I discover new things all the time, and this was my first opportunity to shoot a wedding with professional theatre lighting... and the combination of that lighting and the two of them was stunning. (And their pre-ceremony "reveal" was one of the highlights of my day).

The food was remarkable; tasted amazing and was beautifully displayed by the team at RSVP catering (the potatoes and rice were absolutely worth the calories) and a stunning cake was created by Jills Cake Creations.

And a personal note to Kristen and Phillip: It really meant a lot to us that you were constantly asking how we were doing, if we needed anything, and really made a point of making us feel as comfortable as possible. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed working with the two of you.
