Los Angeles Arboretum Wedding Arcadia, CA

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet couple’s wedding at the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia, Ca. I met the bride in her hotel room to photograph her as she was getting ready. Unfortunately the bride’s make up/hair artist showed up 1.5 late due to traffic. Things got off to a late start because of this and since the wedding was in the late afternoon in October, we lost light very quickly! We weren’t able to take as many post ceremony ‘formals’ or bride & groom shots because of time restraints. However, luckily the bride and groom were not leaving right away on their honeymoon and we were able to go back the following week to catch some beautiful light and get those gorgeous couple photos they deserved! They were truly amazing to work with and so grateful above anything! The bride maintained such calmness and poise with the situation of the makeup artist getting there late. I felt bad, but she maintained a composure unlike any that I’ve ever seen, especially being her wedding day! They were the sweetest couple and in the end it all worked out, and I am so happy that we were able to go back and take their photos after the wedding when there was plenty of time to relax and get the best lighting possible. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites:
