{ Megan + Jordan | Los Angeles Wedding Photography }
“I can’t wait to see what she looks like,” Jordan smiled as he stood against the hotel room window. The guys’ getting-ready room was indeed full of manliness – drinking beers, cracking jokes, helping one another tie their manly ties – but in that confessional moment there was a glimpse of softness and love. Glimpses that continued throughout the rest of the day – in the long looks Jordan gave Megan during the ceremony, the secret smiles they shared in the crowded reception hall, their laughs on the dance floor. As was stated over and over again in the toast speeches, you could really see that they were perfect for each other!
A big thank you to Dave Richardsfor inviting me to tag along and for sharing his awesome expertise with me. And to Megan & Jordan for letting me be a part of their amazingly fun day!
I usually like to obsessively-compulsively blog the day in order, but I just can’t resist starting off with these first couple shots since they show off their spectacular wedding colors! Can’t get enough of the red:
**And now back to our regularly scheduled chronological post**
Jordan relaxes in the hotel room:
Megan & Jordan were married at St. Brendan’s Catholic Church in Los Angeles. It was breathtaking – and had special meaning since Megan’s parents were also married here!
After the ceremony it was a short drive to the Wilshire Country Club for the reception. Cue the detail shots! I love the choice of gerber daisies – they’re my fave:
A few portraits…
Megan was radiant :)
Their first dance was choreographed and absolutely adorable:
I love this shot because there were so many moments like this throughout the day – little intimate we-are-so-in-hopelessly-in-love moments!
A beautiful father daughter dance…
And of course the mother-son dance as well:
And while we’re on the topic of dancing, can I just say that Megan & Jordan’s entire set of family and friends know how to break it down like no other?? All ages, big and small – I was having so much fun just running around the dance floor capturing everyone’s moves:
One last shot of the night!

@minteefoto – thanks for the comment! i used an external flash for almost all of the reception shots, except for the detail/table setting shots. those i shot without a flash with my 50 mm 1.4 lens. i also didn’t use flash for any of the ceremony shots. hope that helps!

[…] people and their warmth filled the entire lodge. I assisted Dave at Allie’s sister Megan’s wedding last year so it was great to see much of the same family and friends there celebrating […]
