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.

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!
(07.11.09 07:06 PM)
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?

Amazing work. I've followed your blog since forever, and this one really blew my mind. Mind if I ask where they got those ADORABLE cake toppers from?

Um. Holy cow. For real. Seriously. I can't get over how stunning every single one of these images is! You guys have been amazing me for a while, but this is BY FAR my favorite wedding from you. I need to look at it a few more times. Wow wow wow, I am sooo excited to meet you in a couple weeks for the workshop. I need to learn some of those secrets!

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!!!
