Manhattan Beach American Martyrs Wedding | Yvonne and Kevin

We live on Laurel Avenue, just four blocks from the big American Martyrs church, which dominates the skyline of Manhattan Beach, so it was our extreme pleasure to be hired by Yvonne and Kavin to do the video for their Manhattan Beach wedding at American Martyrs over the weekend.
It was a huge weekend in town, with the Manhattan Beach Open volleyball tournament, so after the wedding, we brought the happy couple to the El Porto beach area of town, just two blocks away from Verandas, the site of their reception.
No problem with thousands of spectators here--the beach belonged to the happy couple.

Hermosa Beach Wedding on the beach | Karen & Joel

Karen and Joel live in Colorado, but thought it would be a lot of fun to get married on the sandy Hermosa Beach, so they towed their collective three kids, rented a house right on the world-famous Hermosa Beach Strand, and got hitched Friday night. We were there.


June Gloom is here, so we missed out on a great sunset. But we reached into our grabbag of Photoshop tricks to help out and bring in some memorable colors.
