Molly and Adam, both attorneys, “negotiated” an incredible wedding day at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. I have photographed many weddings there, but they made their wedding different than others. First, Molly and her bridesmaids got ready in the Garden Suite, a room that I never knew existed at the La Valencia. It is a beautiful suite next to the Verandah Room reception area. It is always great to have a big room to shoot the getting ready shots.
During the ceremony, they had the Ray Gospel Choir as the music for the ceremony. They are the resident choir at the House of Blues Gospel Brunch. It was an amazing sight to see the look on the guests’ faces when they heard the gospel music echoing through the gardens of the hotel.
Thanks to Emily Smiley- Wedding Consultant, for making sure everything ran smoothly. And the decor and flowers from Botanica were lovely as always.
I have to give huge props to the videographers, modern 8 films, for the engagement video they produced for the reception. They shoot on super 8mm film for a really different look. I have seen many engagement videos, and their work is stands out! The best part was that Adam surprised Molly with the videographers at the wedding. Of course, they were very easy to work with which always makes my job a lot easier.
