Christine & Wayne

Christine & Wayne had a beautiful wedding! I think she got everything she wanted in her "fairy tale" wedding. They were so great to work with during their engagement shoot that I knew their big day would go off without a hitch. Congratulations again on your marriage, Christine & Wayne!

April & Daniel

It's not every day I have to tell both the bride AND groom to fix their hair in the wind! April and Daniel are such friendly people who don't mind laughing at my corny jokes! He proposed to her at Seal Beach, the very place where they chose to have their shoot. They're a beautiful couple and we can't wait for their wedding coming up soon!

Cazi & Omar

Cantina Light Pictures finds it a extreme pleasure to be the wedding photographer for Cazi & Omar not only because they're so down to earth but also because Omar is the DJ for the Kevin & Bean morning show on KROQ 106.7 (for those of you in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas). They chose Hollywood as their engagement setting. It was so fitting for this fantastic couple. We're really looking forward to your wedding! Congratulations!

Jessica & Scott

Jessica & Scott were referred to us by Eli & Ray, a very sweet couple whose wedding we shot last year. They decided to have their engagement shoot in Laguna Beach, the same city their wedding will be in a few months. They were worried about the overcast day but I told her that the even lighting is actually best for pictures! Their photos turned out to be beautiful. Enjoy your slide show!

Your formal pictures on your wedding day

Come wedding day, time will be of the essence. Every second of every minute will be utilized to optimize your special day. Some couples opt for a minimum amount of time for their formal pictures and their "first pictures as husband and wife." As photographers, we feel like these are just as important as every other shot taken throughout the day.

We know that sometimes you won't have as much time as we would like but we always recommend maximizing the amount of time as much as possible.

So when you're figuring out the time line for your wedding day, consider taking an extra amount of time (about 45-60 minutes at the least) after the ceremony for these pictures. It's your wedding pictures, after all!

Julie & Kevin

It was a mixture of a lake, trees, a playground (zip line!), and a beautiful winter day that gave Julie & Kevin the perfect setting for their engagement session. They're not from Orange County but leave it to them to find a place that definitely brings out the best of them both in a romantic and fun way. I probably had just as great of a time as Julie and Kevin did! Can't wait for your beautiful wedding!
