Wedding Dresses and Brides

A good friend of mine, upon seeing a social media post about our current promotion, asked me if I had a gallery dedicated to wedding dresses. The answer is "no, I don't", but I love the idea so much, I decided to make this week's Friday Photography Blog on wedding dresses. All wedding dresses are beautiful by definition as they become an extension of the bride. She definitely spends a lot of time and energy on choosing a wedding dress, some of which can be quite challenging to carry on all day long. The following are some of my favorite shots (whether it is the photo of the dress or the bride wearing it) in alphabetical order. Not a lot of words this time, just the photos. I hope you'll enjoy these as much as I enjoyed digging them up from my archives for this blog entry!

Here is Alyse in Lake Arrowhead. You can read more about Alyse and Jeff's story and see their engagement photos here and more wedding photos here.

Here's Atanasia in Long Beach, CA. Atanasia and Grey tied the knot back in 2013. You can read their story and see more pictures here.

Brier got married to Vishnu and they had two ceremonies. An intimate one in Los Angeles and the real deal in New Zealand. I had the pleasure to document their Los Angeles wedding.

Burçin in Malibu, CA... This wedding was the first wedding my wife shot with me. And it was also the start of a great friendship with this lovely couple. Burçin & Shai (with their growing family) became indispensable family friends. Followers of KHP's Friday Photography Blog have met them on several occasions, including their engagement session blog entries (Part I and Part II), as well as their wedding story.
