Walking into the Cicada Restaurant in the James Oviatt building feels like you are walking to the early 1930′s. Originally the first art deco building in Los Angeles and a men’s haberdashery; Orchid and Tony transformed the place into a fun filled kick off to their married life.

I love traditional Cathedral weddings where you can see deep into a different cultures. The weddings at St Stevens Orthodox Cathedral have been amazing to say the least and last week did not disappoint. From the speeches to hugs and tears it is obvious Laura and Vido have such a strong surrounding cast of family and friends, they are truly a lucky couple!

The Summit House Restaurant in Fullerton CA was a great setting for Kristin & Trevor’s wedding. I love this time of year when the leaves are starting to change and the sun becomes so golden and soft. I think these guys would have partied till dawn if the Summit House staff would have allowed it. All the best to you two, thanks for letting me be a part of your day, it was a blast!

Wedding at the Villa San Juan Capistrano – Natalie & David

Eric Cotter — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 20:33:29 +0000

This Villa in San Juan Capistrano is one of the best hidden gems in all of so cal. John Q. (owner of the Ramos House, also in San Juan Capistrano) has outdone himself with the details in this venue.. From rafters that imported from old barns in the midwest, to authentic mission style decor throughout the entire property. If you are planning a wedding with around 100 guests this is a must see location.

Summer Estate Wedding in Fresno Ca – Kristy and DeWayne

Eric Cotter — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:43:34 +0000

Kristy and DeWayne are one of those couples that feel more like family than clients. We were lucky that it was only 100 degrees in Fresno this day, and even more lucky that Kristy is so easy to photograph!! These two started their day with an intimate private ceremony at Saint Therese Roman Catholic Church, then headed to DeWayne’s brother’s residence for a great reception.

While I have had clients from Fresno in the past, this is my first time actually shooting a wedding there. It was funny… as I apologized to the family about shooting in the heat for so long, they replied “it is not hot at all”.. go figure.

All the best you two, my wedding wish is that you will have a kid before you have an anniversary. I know you will make beautiful kids
