I cannot express how much fun this shoot was. Kimberly + Richard brought their pooch to the wedding ceremony. When couples want to incorporate a pet into their wedding ceremony the usual protocol that Kim and Richard followed is to designate one of the friends/relative guests to pick up the beloved pet and bring them to the ceremony. I took these photographs immediately after the ceremony because their little doggy had to go home and rest.

What I love best about photographing Kimberly is it really doesn’t take much effort to get her laughing.

I’m sure we’ve all seen those awkward family photos, well I just wanted to have a play around with the idea of all the girls lying in a pile. Sure it’s a little awkward but it was totally fun and makes for a fu shot not everyone is going to have in their family wedding album.Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 011 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 012 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 013

I love this shot of Kim laying on the ground by herself. Look at the beautiful detailing on her wedding dress.Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 014 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 015 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 016 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 017

Kimberly wanted me to try this shot from a Starwars scene that I hadn’t seen.. I hope it’s what you were looking for Kim!

I wanted a shot of the boys with that ‘we’re in a band’ type feeling.

Then they wandered through the vineyard. #weddingwineryphotosSouthern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 034 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 035 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 036

I think this next shot is one of my favourite photographs from the wedding.Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 037 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 038 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 039 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 040 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 041 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 042 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 043 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 044 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 045

So I was kind of like “Let’s get some wedding photos with the Llamas! that will be awesome” and Richard said “I think they might be aggressive, or frightened of us” and I said “well let’s just go slowly and see how close we can get!”Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 046 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 047

And then this crazy bird decided that we were predators and was trying to attack us! It was actually quite scary, but hilarious at the same time. These birds are usually pretty relaxed.Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 048 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 049 Southern California Wedding Photography Beautiful Whimsical Unique Documentary Candid 050
