What’s a beach wedding in Southern California without a little wind? Well, as Anne and Tommy might tell you, it’s definitely no breeze. Oh yeah, that’s my awesome pun for the day. When Kaysha asked me to second shoot this fabulous wedding with her at the Portofino Hotel and Yacht Club in Redondo Beach, I had no idea we would be dealing with monsoon-like winds on such a gorgeous sunny day in May. But, you never can predict these things when planning your wedding, and Anne and Tommy were total champs. A little wind was not even about to ruin their perfect wedding day.
When Kaysha and I walked in to the amazing lobby at the Portofino, we both smiled at each other without saying a word. We knew exactly what the other was thinking, “SCORE.”

It’s such an awesome deal being the second shooter. You get to hang with the boys who are always extremely entertaining.


Such a handsome groom…


And the groomsmen ain’t so bad either.![]()

The first look…my fav.



Anne and Tommy had everything perfectly arranged. We even got to jump in a limo and escape the hotel for a little bit for some beach photos.



What a couple of hotties. And I don’t use that word for just anyone.![]()





Anne, you are simply stunning.






These two were all smiles.




My camera always seems to find the little ones.




Mmmm, cake time!


A big THANK YOU to Kaysha for letting me tag along with her to Anne and Tommy’s wedding. I wish this beautiful couple nothing but joy and smiles for years to come.![]()
