Jason & Mary – Cathedral of Our Lady of The Angels in Los Angeles – Wedding Photography

Adam Kazmierski — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:35:31 +0000

Just a quick post to show a preview of Jason & Mary’s wedding photos from last weekend at the beautiful Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles! It’s a very busy time with weddings to edit, and having just come back from a trip to India, but I wanted to make sure to get this up! Special thanks to Justin Barr, my second photographer for the day! He was a huge help with lighting and capturing images from another angle, and being a second set of eyes.

Shannon & Jon | Wedding Photography at Aliso Creek Inn, Laguna Beach, Orange County

Photographing Shannon and Jon’s beautiful wedding was a wonderful way to spend part of my labor day weekend. It was such a relaxed environment, at an absolutely stunning venue, the Aliso Creek Inn and Golf Course in Laguna Beach. As a photographer, this is the type of venue you dream to shoot a wedding at! Take a few minutes to enjoy a sneak peek at their wedding photography.

These would turn out to be not enough chairs…

Shannon in the bridal suite

A few good men… Jon and his guys.

He couldn’t take the waiting… moments before first seeing his bride..

It was worth it…

Hi Shannon!

Just before guests began sitting

Shannon and Dad

After they added additional seating… right at the start of the ceremony. What a venue.

The kiss… finally (8 years later, right?)

Murphberger…

Shannon’s idea… normally don’t do shots like this but it worked quite well!

Details..

Plenty more to come for Shannon and Jon, now in Hawaii!

Kelli Headshots | Los Angeles, Orange County Headshot Photographer

Just had a great headshot photography shoot with Kelli, she heard about us through her sister and brother in law Kristy and Joe, whom my wife and I go to church with at Whittier Hills. Little Micah joined, and with the puppies around, it was a party. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot! You can find Kelli playing Peter Pan in Fantasmic at Disneyland… sweet!

Jessica and Darren | Laguna Beach Wedding at Hotel Laguna

When I met with Darren, Jessica, and her family to talk about this wedding a few months ago, I was visibly excited about the day. Beach wedding with a beautiful couple! Well, the day did not disappoint one bit, and I was honored to be a part of their wonderful wedding day. My wife Emily came along and got some great images as well! Such a good day. On with the preview images!

Jessica, getting ready, thinking about the wedding day. (Or just posing for sweet wedding photos )

Here’s Darren and his men…

A couple portraits of Jessica

All the ladies, smiling. Jessica had pretty good aim with this shot, I must say!

Shoes and another portrait where we make our groom the background, to draw focus to the bride, but add a little story.

A kiss on the beach as birds flew over.

Loved her veil!

Fun angle of the two looking off in the distance.

Thanks for taking a peak!

Julianna and Al | Claremont Wedding, Baseline Community Church

Julianna and Al are a great couple who were fun to work with, and both have huge hearts. Some of the more moving toasts I have heard were given, and in my interactions with them, I got to see why both the groomsmen and bridesmaids had such nice things to say. The wedding and reception were at Baseline Community Church in Claremont. Hope you enjoy this peek into their wedding images!

Al and Julianna

The beautiful rings

A nice portrait of each

A kiss on the cheek

Resting on the bench, love how this one turned out!

A Tropical Celebration – Sean and Sara at Ole Hanson Beach Club, San Clemente, CA

Sunday the 27th of June was Sean and Sara’s wedding day at the Ole Hanson Beach Club in San Clemente, CA. It started out with some June gloom, but as the day went on the sun came out to provide us with some beautiful light for such an exquisite wedding. I absolutely love all of the color throughout the day, hence most of these images being in color.

Here’s the lovely bride, Sara

Sean and Sara, at the beach.

The ceremony took place right outside the beach club on a nice little grass lawn overlooking the ocean.

Sean, all smiles now.

Loved the colors!

Their first kiss as husband and wife.

They changed into really neat custom made Hawaiian clothes for the reception.

Holding each other tightly in matching outfits… awesome.

Kinda off-topic but not… did I mention I loved the color!! When you see the rest of the images you’ll notice everyone was wearing vibrant, Hawaiian clothes!

Portrait of the two

That’s all, for now.

Sean and Sara, you guys were awesome to work with, it was such a fun wedding to be a part of!

Jackson Family Photos! – Yucaipa Family Photography

Adam Kazmierski — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 01:50:59 +0000

A few weeks back, Sally Jackson got in touch with me about doing family photos (for a beautiful spot over their dining table) and updating some headshots for Tyler and Justine. And of course I was stoked to see the whole family. We shot at the Yucaipa Regional Park. They also agreed to let me license the images through iStock, which usually leads to a few minutes of random fame here and there.

When we got there, we were told they were actually closing early – leaving us approximately 10 minutes to do the shoot! Not enough time. Well, we got in and started shooting, and definitely lost track of time. By the time we got out, there were still people leaving so it was all good. My lovely wife helped on the shoot as well, be sure to check out her photos when you have a chance.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Justine and brother Tyler.

The whole time… Sid was cracking jokes, I was laughing the whole time.

Cool dude…

I heard what he said…

Parenting…

If I remember correctly, I think they will be making Hawaiian Chicken when we come over to deliver the photos… can’t wait!

Alex & Jessica Wedding Photography – Talega Golf Club and St. Edwards Church, Dana Point

Adam Kazmierski — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:55:30 +0000

Back to back weddings the last two weekends and both were an absolute blast! Alex and Jessica got married at St. Edwards Church in Dana Point, and had their reception at the scenic Talega Golf Club just down the 5. I loved spending the day with them, a fun-loving couple. Here is a preview of the images… enjoy!

Beautiful scenery + great couple + fisheye lens = this…

Always want to get a great shot of the rings!

Our ring bearers for the wedding… surprisingly very well behaved and easy to photograph! Not to mention cute…

A preview from the ceremony

Windblown hair… looking off into the distance. I tried to give Alex and Jessica some privacy. This is where the long lens comes in handy, capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Sharing a kiss at the golf club.

Rest!

Came away with some truly beautiful images to capture their amazing wedding day, I had so much fun. Looking forward to showing Alex and Jessica the rest!

I’m here with some images from Rebecca and Andrew’s wedding! Having been together for so many years, you could tell that both Rebecca and Andrew were elated to be finally be getting married! I truly enjoyed working with them and am so happy for them.

Beautiful rings and flowers.

These girls were all about having fun and celebrating!

Andrew and Rebecca, they had waited so long!

Just relaxed.

Can’t wait to show you guys the rest, Rebecca and Andrew!

Looking back at 2009, looking forward to 2010 weddings

Adam Kazmierski — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:32:15 +0000

I’m starting to get really pumped for the 2010 weddings that await! It all begins next month (unless some crazy last minute bride needs a photographer in the next 9 days…) While I am very excited about the weddings lined up for this year, I don’t want to forget about what a great year 2009 was. Here are links to some of the work I did last year.
