We were back last week at the prestigious Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks. I love photographing weddings here because the setting is very sophisticated and has a “back east” feel to it. The tall white columns, brick clubhouse and grounds are all perfectly manicured and gorgeous.
Speaking of gorgeous… we had yet another beautiful bride Megan, who despite a mostly rainy day, kept a positive attitude and married her marine Ryan. I really enjoyed photographing these guys engagement session in Santa Monica. I knew from that day that Megan could and would “work it” for the camera. And they were great. We ran outside for 10 minutes while we had a break in the rain to get some fun shots..jumped in the wet golf carts and made the best of a rainy mess. But as you can see from the pics, they were in great spirits.
I was really touched by Ryan’s toast to Megan. I don’t want to sound judgmental, but it just wasn’t the kind of toast you’d expect to hear from a United States Marine. It was so heartfelt, sensitive and real. Hey, I’m man enough to admit that I still get choked up at most every wedding and Ryan, all I can say is ” I love you man!”
The beautiful flowers were provided by Jackie Combs , wedding coordination by Briana Folkes and Videography by one of my favorite guys in the biz, “the Feev” at imemory films.
