Maria + Sam Slideshow

One of the greatest rewards of wedding photography is being able to build relationships with your clients. Maria and Sam's wedding was no exception. Being there for practically the entire event, we actually became friends with them and their families and some guests by the time the reception ended. This for me makes wedding photography such a fun experience.

It deserves to be mentioned again how beautiful and radiant Maria was in her white wedding dress and long veil. She looked simple yet elegant and classic. It was no surprise to see the joy in Sam's face when she walked down the aisle. Of course, Sam looked real fine himself in his stylish tux. The ceremony was one of the most solemn ones I have ever seen. Though St. John Neumann is known to have one of the stricter photography and videography guidelines, we managed to capture some nice photos of not the couple's backs =).

We had a grand time shooting the reception as well at The Hacienda in Santa Ana. The place had limitless details - a joy to any photographer. Seriously, the facade looks like the well-known Santuario de Chimayo in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

A special thanks to Clare and Shekkhar for being such gracious hosts!
