You saw their engagement session, now experience the wedding of Danah + Ahmad. The lovely couple was married on August 15th at The Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. If we had only two words to describe this wedding it would be "simply classic". With white as their only wedding color, Danah's simple white dress, and Ahmad's classic black suit, it was truly a breath of fresh air. Danah's dress will definitely go down as one of the top ten wedding dresses we've ever laid eyes on, and Ahmad's black suit was bold and timeless!

adwed020.jpgadwed021.jpgThe reception, again, was simply classic. There was white flowers and white linen everywhere. Only Danah + Ahmad's closest friends and family were in attendance. 
adwed022.jpgadwed023.jpgMy favorite "detail" of the day (well, I feel bad calling a person a detail, but this person really added to the overall mood of the day), the wedding singer! He was an amazing vocalist that sounded just like Nat King Cole and did a great impersonation of Louis Armstrong.

As with all of our clients, we feel super blessed to have been a part of such an amazing experience and moment in time. Congratulations to Danah + Ahmad! Click here for their online slideshow!

They say you're the best in the industry for a reason.. these images are the reason. I genuinely never stop being amazed and awed by the art that you produce. If I ever get married, I hope you'll be there.

Maria + Alvin were married on August 1st. We had such a fun weekend at their wedding in San Francisco. Not only was it an awesome wedding, but Justin and I were celebrating our 7 year anniversary the very next day! Maria + Alvin's wedding was a perfect excuse to get away to one of our favorite cities, be a part of a wedding, and remember how important marriage is!

First of all, before I go forward with this next post, I just wanted to take a moment again to say THANK YOU to everyone for the outpouring of love and all of the heartfelt comments on our last blog post about my father's passing. We have felt an overwhelming amount of caring and warmth from so many people, it is hard to be down when we feel so much support surrounding us. Each comment has been a ray of sunshine and it is much appreciated! Now onto to good stuff:

Virginia + John were married on June 27th at the Summit House in Fullerton. This day has been a long time coming. Virginia + John had originally booked us two years ago for June of 2008, but only a few days after our original meeting did I receive a message from these two sweet people that they wanted to postpone the wedding for another year because they wanted to finish school first. Of course I was more than happy to hold a date that far in advance for such a sweet couple, they were super personable and affable from the very beginning!

Recognize Virginia + John?! Check out the engagement session we shot with them back in February.

Wowzers, we LOVED this wedding from the moment it started until the moment it ended! Ever since their engagement session, we've grown to adore Nancy + Edward. They have been nothing but sweet and kind to us through every interaction that we've had!

Nancy + Edward were married on June 13th. We started the day off at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica for prep shots and the first glance, then headed over to the ceremony at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church , and last we enjoyed a gorgeously dressed reception at the Skirball Cultural Center Museum.

en_wed_04.jpgWhile I was busy with prep shots with Nancy, Justin was having fun photographing the groomsmen.

Amelia, Your work is amazing. I love it! I wanted to ask you what lens do you use to get such wide shots. For example the ones in front of that awesome bookcase? I mostly shoot with a 24-70. I need to invest in a wide lens :) Thx.

um...what? that did just happen. holy moly. stunning images as always. sorry...but that dress is blowing my mind!

Matthew Wengerd said:
OK, Amelia - The first shot must have been a comp, right? I'm practically brand new to photography, but I'm almost positive physics don't permit two separate focal fields from one lens. Was it a comps of two shots on a tripod? Did you manual these?

nancy said:
allo! the bride here again... just wanted to say THANK YOU for all your kind and uber-generous compliments! but my husband says y'all need to stop now or my head may explode (if my heart doesn't first!). ;) To answer a few questions: the gown was custom-made for me to rent, by Vivian at Tomato Weddings in LA and the cake toppers are from goosegrease.etsy.com. The wedding was made beautiful by Amelia Lyon Photography ;) If you would like more info - feel free to contact me. It is the least I can do!!!
