Evan & Nicole's Wedding

Evan & Nicole had a beautiful wedding this past Sunday evening at The Hacienda in Santa Ana. This super fun couple had their closest friends and family join them as they wed, after six years together. Wow!

I had so much fun photographing their wedding. Recently I heard the concept that a photographer's work is largely based on his/her emotion. It's apparent in that two different people, feeling different emotions, can photograph the same scene and come out with two diversely different photographs.

While at Evan & Nicole's wedding my concept/feeling/mood/emotion at their wedding can be described as passionately immersed. I think the photographs from their wedding, as you'll see, convey this well (and beautifully if I say so myself).

Evan & Nicole's eclectic taste in music showed during their reception, at which Showcase DJ did a fabulous job providing the amazing tunes for the evening. Their first dance was to John Legend's "Slow Dance" and the Mother-Son dance was to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.

The night ended with lots of laughing and dancing by just about everyone there. Nicole and Evan even required me to have the last dance with my assistant, who happened to be my hubby Matt. (Thanks! It was a fabulous dance.)

Wedding Photo Essay:

Let me take a moment to comment on these two images. These were photographed towards the end of the evening one of the bridesmaid's significant other showed up. Something powerful, emotional, and lovely was taking place between them - in a very subtle way. I stood back and had the opportunity to take these photographs. These photographs make me want to listen to Coldplay's "Rush..." album. They are two of my favorite from this night because the mood and emotion in them speaks so loudly, yet, just like the couple they are very subtly portrayed.
