This is a unique set of pictures in the sense that most of the day I operated as 2nd photographer to my associate Brian Jost. It was a lot of fun for me as the responsibility of lead photographer was not mine. I spent most of the time following the groom/groomsmen around and then following Brian around. Once agian, Newport Beach is a great place for a wedding and a wonderful place for wedding photography.

Starting out in the room where the guys were getting ready I thought about all of the groomsmen gifts that I had seen over the years – cufflinks, zippo lighters, flasks, etc (all personalized of course). Another good gift for the groomsmen on the wedding day is matching ties that they will be wearing in the wedding . . .

A time of encouragement for the groom . . .

Anticipation . . . it’s going to be a great day . . .
