I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Kim and Stuart at L’Auberge, Del Mar on September 25. I’m always thinking about how lucky I am to have such cool clients, and it’s people like Kim and Stuart the really remind me of how lucky I am to be doing what I’m doing. It was a joy to spend the day with so many warm and friendly from both sides of the bridal party. I truly wish the best for Kim and Stuart as they begin this new phase of their lives together.

I always enjoy the father daughter dance (maybe because I have a little girl) but this was special for me because I had met Brian, the father of the Bride, nearly 20 years ago when we worked in a common industry. I hadn’t seen him since then, and booking this wedding was purely ‘coincedental’ in that regard, so it was a real treat to be part of this moment for both Kim, and my old acquaintance Brian.

Much of the rest of the night was in Kim’s words “DanceFest 2008!”

We took advantage of the new waterfall at L’Auberge to create a nice series of closing images for the night.
