{ Beth + Matt | Santa Monica Beach Club Wedding }
I must admit I was a just a teensy bit excited when Dave invited me to come along to help shoot the wedding of a real-life “Real World” celebrity. I didn’t immediately recognize her name, but when Beth breezed through the doors of the Hotel Oceana in Santa Monica, I remembered her from some of the Real World/Road Rules challenges. Both her and Matt were honestly such awesome people and so full of joy on their special day, and it was such an honor to witness their stunning wedding at the Beach Club in Santa Monica!
When I arrived at the Oceana I was immediately struck by how fresh, summery, and colorful it was! The bright decor of the room gave the shots a kick of fun:
I hung out with the guys a bit around the hotel and then across the street, where the ocean was oh-so-conveniently located:
Rendezvoused with the girls for some more portraits by the sea:
Then off to the Beach Club for the ceremony:
Beth with the adorable ring bearer:
Could not get enough of the beachy details – it was such a perfect summer wedding!
They had a basket full of colorful flip-flops for the guests to wear – so ingenious!
Before the reception we walked along the beach to take advantage of that stunning Santa Monica sunshine:
A big thank you to Dave for having me along!
Up next, a weekend visit to my new favorite city…

the photos are beautiful. The photo where the couple is walking on the beach is money. The color is good and the skin tones are just right.

I hadn’t watched The Real World in a while but I get easily star struck for anyone in celebrity status so this is pretty exciting!! lol
Not to mention the gorgeous photos you took, but that’s not surprising since you’re pretty much a rock star yourself :D
