Neville + Esther were married on September 6th, 2008. The wedding was held at the Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach, I fell in love with this venue, so clean and modern! You may recall this amazing couple from their engagement session at The Camp in Costa Mesa a few months back.
We absolutely enjoyed this day, especially because the personalities of Neville + Esther completely shined through in every aspect of their wedding! From the decor, to the venue, to the radical band music during their ceremony, and back to the love of their friends and family....it was awesome, to say the least! This wedding definitely made it to our top ten list for weddings of 2008!
I started doing this new thing with portraits of brides before they get into their wedding dress, here's Esther's moment!
My favorite shot of the day!
My second favorite shot of the day....good job Justin!
Congrats to Neville + Esther, what an awesome day!!! Want to see more photos from their day?! Click here for their slideshow.

You never cease to inspire me with your creative talent! Love the men's shoe shot.

Yeah, the arrow ceremony shot is so top notch! There's no notches above it...and as far as I'm concerned, there might never be any superior notches. You're so notchy!!Every wedding you guys do is a reminder that you were voted Photogs of the year. Ok, so after saying the word notch so many times...it's starting to sound wierd. Notch. Notch...notchay.
