The lucky couple is on the far left.  We see a lot of these in Laguna. It’s not uncommon to see this small of a wedding group. I’ve seen smaller.

Less is more I guess.

Youth springs eternal but not for the photographer.

If your an avid photographer and your friends know it then watch out because you just may be their wedding photographer.

From the short bits of conversation I overheard while taking this photo that’s what happened here. She may have been a relative. That’s worse because you really can’t mess up. You’ll never hear the end of it.

As an aside I thought this couple had the right idea. The wedding was held in the Gazebo in Laguna Beach’s Heisler Park. Then they just turned around and had the reception with the cake and champagne. I think the wedding cake was cupcakes. It’s kinda’ the rage these days.

Tanya Ocegueda and Brian Niemela Wedding, August 13, 2011 at the St. John of the Cross Church. These photos are my personal work from the wedding. I had to leave early and didn’t get the couple at the reception. You may download any or all the photos.

Note: Like everyone else at the wedding I was a guest. The official wedding photographer was Erin Hughes. Her work will not be up on the web until October 1, 2011. At that date you can go to www.ehphoto.zenfolio.com/brianandtanya to view her work. Thanks, John Krill.

Just before brother walks his sister down the isle along with their mother they give each other one final family hug. Then the bride heads into her new life as wife but mother can’t let go. And brother is very proud of his little sister.

I was at the wedding as a quest, a chauffeur really, and it’s not often that I truely enjoy these events. But today I did. Can’t explain it or will not. You decide.

This photo was the best of the lot. Didn’t take that many. The important thing is to be ready when a good photo presents itself. Forget thinking. Forget adjusting the camera. Whatever ISO, Aperture, Speed, White Balance you currently have is it. Not enough time to change any of it. Only thing I did do was quickly walk into the scene and getting as close as I can. I took four photos of just the three of them waiting to enter the church. This was the fourth. That alone is interesting because I usually get it on the first exposure and the rest become backup at best.

Lesson: Always be ready and don’t stop shooting until the scene is gone.
