This windy shot from Jennifer and Chris’ wedding at the Camarillo Ranch House is today’s image for Sneak Peek Mondays!
The Los Angeles Athletic Club (LAAC), a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument*, was founded in 1880. It moved into the current building on Seventh and Olive in 1912, almost 100 years ago. When it opened, it was the only building in Southern California with an above ground swimming pool creating quite an attraction. In the early years it was home to a who’s-who of celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford and George Patton; and over the years, it’s members have won 97 Olympic medals including 47 Gold Medals.
On New Year’s Eve 2011 it was home to the super-festive and classy wedding celebration of Mary and Derek. They both looked so gorgeous and handsome, like movie stars from that beautiful and classy bygone era. Our new best friend Nam Lam of Modern LA Weddings designed the wedding and Shawna Yamamoto created the florals. DJ Nahchey was perfect as usual. The Los Angeles Athletic Club has been renovated and is absolutely beautiful. We cannot wait for more weddings at this historic and eclectic venue.
*Note: There are several other designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments in downtown Los Angeles that are wedding/event venues including Vibiana, Oviatt Penthouse/Cicada and Union Station.

Gorgeous photos!
beautiful fresh wedding photography, lovely traditional colours and a stunning bride too. thank you x
Michal and Solomon’s engagement was shot on the streets of New York in the Meat Packing District in mid-town Manhattan. The first batch of images were taken in The Highline, a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets. This section of the park is referred to the Diller-von Furstenberg Sundeck as it was created by a special donation from Diane von Furstenberg (whose store is just below) and Barry Diller. This may just be the coolest and most photogenic urban park I have ever seen. The three photos which end with Solomon jumping were taken under the Standard Hotel NYC, which actually spans over the park. We ended the day with a quick jaunt crosstown to Grand Central Terminal for a few final images before Allison and I had to hop back in a cab and sadly, catch our plane back to Los Angeles. Stay tuned for their beautiful Brooklyn wedding.

Thanks Fernando!
Great photos. Happy couple. Well done. Congrats.
Michal and Solomon were married this past weekend in a traditional Jewish Orthodox ceremony and reception at El Caribe Country Club in Brooklyn, New York. This beautiful portrait of Michal was taken by Allison just before her first look with Solomon. The first look at an Orthodox wedding is always extra special as they have not seen each other for seven days prior to the wedding.
