Palos Verdes Estates Wedding Photography: Wendolyn + Dustin

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Wendolyn and Dustin's wedding.  It was a wonderful, intimate wedding where they were surrounded by close friends and family.  Wendolyn got ready at the incredibly chic Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica.  The ceremony was at St Timothy Catholic Church, the most gorgeous church I have ever shot at.  The gold alter was absolutely stunning.  According to the church's website, the alter was shipped from Spain to Mexico in the early 1900's, bought by an art dealer, held in storage, and eventually acquired by the church.  The majesty of the alter made a timeless backdrop to Wendolyn and Dustin's vows.

The amazing thing about Wendolyn and Dustin's wedding what the mix of high end and DIY choices.   The day started with Wendolyn's Christin Louboutins, and ended with a delicious wedding cake and maccaroons that Wendolyn and several friends (all graduates of Le Courdon Bleu) baked themselves.  Everything was personal, real, and woven together to celebrate the joining of their lives.

Wendy and Dustin - Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day.  I had an amazing time documenting the beginning of the rest of your lives together.  After tasting your delicious wedding cake, I can't wait to see "Bake With Your Cake Out" succeed, and will definitely refer my brides to you! ;)

I also want to send a big "thank you" to my second shooter, Jennifer Owens!  You did a great job, and I appreciate you being there with me!  :)

Christian Louboutins? Yes please!
