It was either green socks, or no socks. I say he chose wisely.

Who cares. When you're this good looking and awesome, you can do whatever you want. Why do I think this is so awesome? I would have have done the same thing :)

Thanks for letting me tag along today and basking in your awesomeness Bracey.

brandon + mandy. the wedding

07.23.09

I had a great time photographing Brandon and Mandy's wedding. They are a rad couple and their wedding was super fun.

They were married at the San Diego Temple in La Jolla, CA. The reception followed later that evening in Mission Viejo at La Casa de Rogers. Here's how the day went...

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Judd. And a pretty rad wedding party. Heeeeey Yoooooo

Reception time. Yum.

Hi Mike, found you via Clarice's post.
Probably some of the best wedding photography I've seen. I like how the boys look like they're out of the rat pack, but cooler. Everything from the couple to the choice of desserts is sweet, fun and unpretentious. Well done.

brian and melissa - wedding extravaganza

07.15.09

Brian and Melissa may look familiar to you from the super rad eSession we did a few months back. As luck would have it, I found myself partying with the Bride and Groom again on their wedding day with camera in hand.

B&M are sooooo rad. Here's how it went down:

Ceremony: Newport Beach Temple

Reception at Franciscan Gardens, San Juan Capistrano

All flowers done by the Bride's talented sister, Brittany.

After we finished at the Temple, we took a quick jaunt down to Victoria Beach in Laguna for some portraits on the beach. I'm soooo stoked on how the colors turned out. Not bad for 2pm in the afternoon. Boom.

The next stop was in San Juan Capistrano. They picked a venue that was a stones throw from the train station and some rad spots for pictures.

That last image with the train blows my mind. If I were Brian and Melissa, that would be a MASSIVE portrait in my house. I'd be that vain :)

Every great wedding has amazing details. Check out these.

There may or may not have been a few wedding crashers on site. I was able to snag a few pictures to document their existence.

And.....the reception was a blast.

Congrats B&M! You are going to rock the world with your awesomeness.

Kathleen Rowladn:

The train photo should be published in a magazine. It is one of my favorites because it is so original and captures so much joy and happiness. Good job Mike!

Nacolynn B.:

2 weddings in 2 days...

06.29.09

What a trip....what a blast. After finishing up the party with Brian and Melissa on Friday, I rushed home to download all my images and back them up to prepare for Saturday's fiesta. I finished just after midnight and rushed into the much needed REM cycle (I think that's what it's called).

Saturday mornings festivities began at the San Diego Temple in La Jolla at 9am. Mandy and Brandon planned out the perfect day for photos and we exploited it like no other. They were an absolute dream to work with. Here's a few teasers...and consistent with yesterday's wedding....they are pretty much straight out of the camera with a little contrast boost. Boom.

Judd_0894 copy.jpg

Mandy - definitely knew how to work it.

Judd_0376 copy.jpg

Brandon - a camera guru himself and an artisit in radness.

Judd_0679 copy.jpg

The wedding party - 10 individual morsels of sweetsauce wrapped in a thin candy shell. I'm dying over how much I like this image.
