When our friend Anna asked Alan to photographer her wedding and DJ, Alan immediately said yes.  Anna was having a small intimate affair at the French Estate in Orange, CA.

Alan has done a lot of weddings and has DJ;d some weddings and events but combing the two was going to be a challenge.  Of course he had me :).

Anna and Brian have been together for several years, both with kids and different histories.  You could see at the wedding how happy there were.  Brian was glowing and Anna who is always beautiful looked amazing. Their combined families toasted each other and said how much they were looking forward to being one family. Brian’s son was so moved he had tears in his eyes.

50 guests attended and the party rocked.  Together we were able to capture all of her wedding and also played the music that Anna, Brian and her guest enjoyed.  We lined danced, rock and rolled, and slowed it down as well.

What is important when you photograph a wedding is not only capturing the wedding and the parts but making sure to be ready to capture the emotional moments as well. When we tell the story through our slide show it is those emotional shots that reach out to you.
