Beautiful Day Photography’s Weblog

Anna and Steve’s wedding at Wattles Mansion in Hollywood on Saturday was an absolute BLAST! Due to the impending rain clouds, last minute decisions were made to get a huge tent for the dining area. Although people were bummed that it was blocking the view of the city,I think it created some amazing photos and not to mention shelter. I think the party turned out to be even better than imagined underneath the cozy, yet very expensive covering. ironically, it didn’t actually end up raining…. better safe than sorry though. Here are a few photos that I thought were cute, but if you are interested in viewing ALL of them, click on this link to view our favorites uploaded on pictage.com.

I personally LOVED Anna’s choice in Yellow flowers and black bridesmaids dresses…I thought they were SO vibrant it was almost TOO bright for my camera, but it was such a sunny, perfect choice.

The fabulous coordinator, Ryan Larson, with Savoir Flair Wedding Coordinating was their coordinator and I am priviledged to not only call her a great friend, but an amazingly talented coordinator. Almost EVERY wedding I have shot of hers has been submitted in a magazine or published. She has a way of being tasteful and trendy, yet NOT ostentatious. ALL of the couples that gravitate to her are usually cool, fun, hip people that think outside of the box which makes for a fun wedding:) I always have a blast at her weddings!

Also, my FAVORITE DJ was there, Danny Farrell, with NYC Dj’s. We ALWAYS seem to start the dance floor. This time we salsa danced together while the guests were finishing their dinner…He’s SUCH a blast, not to mention an amazing dancer!

I also wanted to thank my two FABULOUS assistant photographers, Meg Perotti and Mai Hunyh (soon to be www.maifoto.com). This was Mai’s 4th wedding EVER to shoot and she did SUCH an amazing job. Meg, has been my backbone for YEARS now and is an amazingly talented photographer. I shoot most of my weddings with her and she makes any wedding more fun and entertaining…for instance we are CERTAIN the Wattles mansion is haunted after our search for an upstairs room with a vantage point to be able to take a photo off the balcony of the tent…Instead we found a hidden staircase and a room that looked like someone was living in it….I ran into a glass window and Meg tripped on the staircase…SO much for our catburglaring skills:)
