Jessica and Roy : Wedding

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of joining my good friend and fabuphotographer Samuel Lippke to help him shoot a wedding at The Four Seasons Beverly Hills. I've been wanting to second shoot for a while because it's been forever since I had the chance of doing so. Being the second shooter at a wedding is one of my favorite things as I feel it gives me the opportunity to develop my eye without the pressure of lead performance. Samuel contacted me a couple weeks ago and I was stoked to join him as I love his style and personality!

Jessica and Roy had an absolutely gorgeous wedding and pieced together a perfect day…even the temperamental LA weather cooperated with us! The ever fab Kerrie of Platinum Weddings by Kerrie coordinated the day, Elysium provided awesome video coverage, Sunny with White Lilac rocked the floral design, and Peter with Four Seasons Beverly Hills catering department was nothing short of fabulous.

Without further ado, here are a few favorite wedding pictures from Jessica and Roy's fabulous wedding day…
I was excited because Samuel asked me to photograph the groom while he photographed the bride, which is something I don't usually do since JD is better at hanging out with guys! 😉

The guys had their hands painted with henna to symbolize happiness and longevity…

Roy was a quiet, yet confident groom…and when it comes to photographing a guy, that's all I could ever ask for…

Jessica and Roy opted to see each other before the ceremony (trust me…all the cool kids are doing it), so here's a photo I took before Roy approached his bride…

This is the moment that makes a First Look so amazing…the moment when the groom sees his bride and knows forever begins right then…

We went down to the lobby of The Four Seasons for a few photos and Jessica was giddy to see her family arriving as well…

Jessica was a stunning bride and honestly glowed with fabulousness!

Just before the ceremony, they signed the Ketubah…look at how in love they are!!

Quite often, my most favorite photo from the wedding day of the bride and groom walking down the aisle just after the ceremony…love this moment!

While Samuel was photographing the family and post-ceremony pictures, he asked if I'd be able to document the reception decor with thanks to White Lilac…talk about eye candy! 🙂

During toasts…

Jessica and Roy's family don't party…they PARTAY!

A custom wedding cake topper made to look like the bride and groom…so cute!

I'll end this post with my favorite photo from the wedding…

Happy Tuesday…
