As I was looking through the images I couldn’t help but throw the bride and Groom into the mix for the best crazybooth style images. What a fun couple to shoot. It was such an amazing reception too…. I can’t even explain but you’ll the images soon! Thanks to everyone for participating and don’t forget to download your images before the end of the month!
So as promised we have three winners - First let me introduce the MVG (Most Valuable Guest) from the wedding last weekend.
- Crazy Booth MVG
- CrazyBooth Craziest
- CrazyBooth Most Embarrassing
Green fields call, you have to answer. And boy was I lucky to have these two.
Riely and Alex are that adorable couple that fell in love after only a handful of dates. It’s not very often people fall in love so easily! The shoot was ideal. A perfect sunset and they had an awesome prop, which I broke after trying to get it in the ground!!! Don’t worry, I’ll use my incredible manliness to fix it in my woodshop (yes, my wife is laughing in the background). Sorry guys!
Take a look at Alex’s version of their love story below. Then check out how amazing they look together in this e-sesh sneak peek.
“I remember seeing Riely walk into church that day and feeling as if the wind was knocked out of me. I immediately thought to myself, “Wow… I have to get her number!!”. We caught each others eye a few times during church and so I thought the interest was definitely mutual. Once church was over, I convinced my sister to get Riely’s number from Riely’s sister when suddenly Riely came walking past me. I coolly tried to say “hi”, but only managed to clumsily thank her for, “coming to church today!”. Riely kept composure and shot me a look and walked away. Once I got Riely’s number, I was told that Riely wasn’t interested in dating anyone, so I calmly acted like I just wanted to be friends. I waited a few hours to contact her to build the suspense while Riely secretly waited for me to call. I finally did and after a few late late nights of talking, a couple great dates and the most amazing first kiss, we were in love.”
Insta-friends! What a cool couple… showed up on skateboards and a truck bed full of their clothes!
They originally wanted to jump off the Capistrano pier for the shoot until they read about the $5000 penalty for getting caught. Maybe after Law School…
We wanted some fun colors, and with the wedding colors are pink and teal we really lucked out with the airstream trailer!
Tycen shared the story of how they met so read on to get the full scoop.
“I was at a party with my best friend and his girlfriend when I saw this amazing girl walking around like she was all bad, sagging her styling jeans and looking tuff and when she looked at me and smiled my knees buckled and I managed to say something intelligible, I never thought 100 lbs could hit so hard! After a 10 minute conversation I was stoked and needed this girls number but when she walked out of the house with her bike in hand I panicked and just sat there watching “The One” get away. For the rest of the night I kicked myself and badgered my friends girlfriend for the scoop on this smoking hottie and finally convinced someone to give me her number.”
“Our first date was all about redemption for not getting her # so I made a sweet playlist, hopped in my old 69′ Bronco and picked her up from work on a nice summer night and took her to the most romantic indoor shooting range Redwood Road has to offer. We shot guns, went to the gas station for some life waters and dropped her back off at work. Little did I know it would take about 3 months of this short and sweet non-committal dating to finally realize how cool I am. Not to mention the occasional slams where she told me she didn’t want anything to do with me aside from being friends, luckily I knew for a fact that she was way off and indeed madly in love with me, she just didn’t know it yet.”
“After lots of bike riding adventures and a river trip she started to warm up to me but then ran off to California for law school. This is when I put a ring on her finger and she agreed to be my girlfriend. So then I found a job in California too but they wanted to send me to Haiti for a year first. That was a tough year for us but I made it out alive and we still liked each other even after a year of skype-dating with horrible internet connection. So when I got for home, we took a trip to New York for New Year’s Eve and the Spiderman Play (she thinks spiderman is cool). And 2 dozen roses and 6,000 rose petals later…she said yes.” –Tycen

Turns out Marissa’s family had moved to Huntington Beach, just a few miles from EJ’s family, so it was obvious it was meant to be. They were down with any location so I took them somewhere off the beaten path I had come across mt biking a few days earlier. Although we didn’t get started until 15 minutes before the sunset, we managed to get some great light anyways. The boots, balloons and concrete all came together for a nice edgy, yet romantic mix. As you can see we tried a ton of things with these two after the sunset until it just got too cold to take anymore pictures. Can’t wait for their wedding this summer in my old stompin grounds, Huntington Beach! Hope you like them.
Gorgeous photos! Started thinking about that future job yet? May I make a suggestion? Check out JD Match in between the papers and exams. I work with JD Match and it’s a great step for any law student looking for an AmLaw firm job and a little weight off their shoulders. http://bit.ly/HxPRyK
