Bride and grooms should have the same attitude Erin and Owen had for their wedding day! The rain could not stop their excitement from seeing each other for their first look. The first thing they said to me in regards to lighting + first look location was “WE TRUST YOU” and boy was that the best decision a couple can make! (Especially on rainy days) Trusting your wedding photographer when it comes to lighting scenarios is the best decision in the world!

Since Erin had the most beautiful light at Allegria Hotel, we figured why not share the first look in the best lighting! They had an intimate first look over looking the Long Beach boardwalk. It can’t get any better then that! Erin and Owen were so over the moon after their first look that they chose to get some portraits done outside after the first look! 😍 (Rain couldn’t stop the romance!)

Owens parents backyard was the perfect space to share with family and friends! Every detail for their reception/cocktail area was colorful, vibrant and made out of a dream! On top of ALL of this, they had this wonderful portrait spot by the dock with the whole view of the tents and seeing all their guests! What a night to remember!
