Torrance, Southern California

Carin and Robert were married at the gorgeous Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach, a dream coastal wedding venue in Torrance, Southern California. We were blessed with the most beautiful light on that day. Especially during the bridal party photos, the light was so soft and flattering. It's one of those times when you wish you had another hour, but Mother Nature waits for no one and soon it was time to head to the reception for dining, dancing and fun. It was a fantastic celebration of love, and we loved documenting every moment of it as much as Carin and Robert loved living it!

With a large bridal party of 12, there was a high-vibe atmosphere in the rooms where the bride and groom were getting ready. Especially the girls were having the time of their life, having their hair and make-up done, chatting and laughing and getting excited about the celebrations to come. The bride was effortlessly gorgeous in an exquisite lace gown by Panache with a long train.

She was full of happy anticipation, living in the moment and one of the most joyful brides we've ever photographed. Seeing the bride and her father scurrying into position for the First Look uplifted everyone's spirits.

As we moved to the portrait session, the couple's energy was spirited, with the bride expressing giddiness and elation as the groom leads her to the meadows. Shout out to the groom's style, especially his Uber-cool sneakers. He looks stylish and cool, with a mood to match to match her high spirits, sparking effortless photo chemistry.

The bridal party wore dusky pink outfits to match the theme reflected throughout the day in the florals and decorations. These tones faithfully embody my style of photography, namely warm, peachy, vibrant, yet organic!

The bride was walked down the aisle by her proud father. He gave her away at the altar, which was a lovely scene with a bamboo archway adorned with pink fabric and florals and pretty lanterns. The officiant delivered a moving ceremony and a few tears were shed as the couple exchanged their vows and rings. They were announced as married, kissed and danced down the aisle as the happiest couple in the world at that moment.

At the reception, our bride and groom shared the joyous moment with their parents during the father-and-daughter dance, the mother-and-son dance, toasts with the best man and maid of honor, and close friends at the dance floor. The bride changed into her red vibrant traditional Chinese dress or "Qipao" and effortlessly carried over the lively spirits through the rest of the night.
