Q. Tell us about some of your favorite locations.
A. We’re Manhattan Beach based, so naturally we have to mention the beach. We do a lot of engagement sessions in and around the Manhattan Beach Pier, which is a terrific, magical place. We’ve loved weddings in Palos Verdes at La Venta Inn and the Wayfarers Chapel, for their woodsy, so non-urban settings. Palos Verdes, to us, is the Hawaii of Southern California. The most breathtaking scenery in the state.
The three most interesting churches were the gothic St. Vincent de Paul on Figeroa in downtown Los Angeles, the St. Nicholas Greek church in Northridge and Saint Garabed Armenian in Hollywood. Big, historic, beautiful structures that had we not had this job, never would have seen.
And we get to take pictures there! How lucky is that?
Q. And your all-time favorite location?
A. For romance, however, nothing beats couple shots at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. There’s not a bad angle in the place.
Q. Favorite wedding?
A. Every wedding is different. We've done classic church unions, Jewish, Latino, Persian, Greek, Indian and Asian weddings, ones held in a city park, hotel courtyards and ballrooms, on the beach and in grandma''s backyard, and all were quite memorable, and exhilerating photographically. So there's the political answer. When pushed, we can say that as spectators, we loved the home wedding of our pals Richard and Lisa. It was a small affair in the Manhattan Beach home of another friend, Issy, and perhaps it was because everyone was standing in a circle around the couple, but the love in the room was infectious.
