Josh & Lisa’s Intimate La Venta Inn Wedding

La Venta Inn Wedding Photography | Miguel Pola Photographers

Some of you may remember Josh and lisa from their Engagement shoot at the Santa Monica Pier. Lisa And Josh Came to me from a previous client Sommer Co Owner of So Cal Shutter Booth. I was fortunate enough to photograph Sommer and Scotts wedding a few years back. Thats where Josh Comes in. See, Josh is Sommer’s Brother and was the officiant for her wedding. Fast forward to last fall, When Josh and Lisa had their intimate wedding at La Venta Inn in Beautiful Palos Verdes. Lisa wore a beautiful Amsale wedding gown. While the bridesmaids wore gorgeous Jenny Yoo Dresses. Lsia Wanted to have her and her girls take advantage of the Palos Verdes Estates Coast line. So she decided on the Terranea Resort for the her bridal prep location. The view was stunning with beautiful blue skies to accent the gorgeous Palos Verdes coastal Landscape.

I love how Lisa’s beautiful blue eyes just jump out at you in this image.

Josh & Lisa Decided to have a “first look” prior to the ceremony. Our attempt at having them spend so “alone time” prior to the ceremony was a success. It was a little tricky at this venue due to the size and the logistics to where the actual ceremony was to take place.

Thank you Josh And Lisa for you and your families’ hospitality. Cant wait for you to see your finished album design.

Sleepless In Seattle

Seattle Engagement Photos | Miguel Pola Photographers

Well lets just say these two were sleepless in Seattle! At least the night they met.  :)  See Scott is a huge Galaxy fan. (Soccer) He’s a season ticket holder.  He decided to look at their away schedule and realized that Seattle would be a great place to travel for a quick weekend trip.  So he and a friend went for it.

Michelle with a large group of friends decided to shoot up to Seattle for a fun filled weekend of friends, fun and soccer.  After the game, Michelle and her friends decided to go to the local stadium tavern next to Seattle stadium.  Being that they were all from LA, they were the only Galaxy fans in the building.  So Scott and his friend, while at the bar not knowing anyone else there, found a great way to cruise on over to the table where Michelle and all of her Galaxy friends were.

Michelle playing a little hard to get, finally started to chat Scott up and they talked all evening long. The rest is history. When Scott and Michelle hired our studio they thought it would be a great idea to go back to Seattle. The city in which they met, to photograph their Engagement Session.

Never having been there myself I decided to get there as early as possible  to scout the area for their shoot. Luckily people in Seattle are really nice and helpful!  :) Here are some of the images from our fun Seattle Washington engagement shoot. I hope that you enjoy them as much as the time i had Photographing them.

Peter & Yolanda’s El Adobe Spanish Love affair

Some of you may remember a recent post from Peter and Yolanda’s beautiful engagement session.  Well their wedding did not disappoint either, they had their ceremony at the lovely St John of God Church in Norwalk.

With a church full of family watching eagerly, Peter and Yolanda shared their first kiss. With what used to be two families, now a single entity, cheering behind them, they entered a vintage 1930′s Packard that whisked them away to Mission San Juan Capistrano for their first photos as husband and wife.

Mission San Juan Capistrano’s beaten stone walls, aged doors, and long history became the perfect setting for a romantic session between the newlyweds.

Their reception took place at another historical gem, The Adobe Restaurant. My favorite event of the night was when Peter took the live band’s guitar and played a song he wrote while he was away in the Navy. Thinking of her, Peter wrote the song to keep him sane during the lonely nights away from home.

I hope you enjoyed looking at Peter and Yolanda’s photos, I had a blast being part of their first day as husband and wife.

Josh and Lisa’s long awaited engagement

Josh and Lisa met in college, with a long relationship, this engagement was overdue. Thanks to Lisa for having the patience for waiting for her Prince Charming.

Josh and Lisa came to me from a previous wedding that I photographed. I shot Sommer and Scott’s wedding in Fall of ’07. Josh was ordained just for Sommer and Scott’s wedding.

We met in the afternoon at the Santa Monica Pier just before a special time photographers like to call “Magic Hour,” but something was happening that was even more special than the way the sun was setting. I was able to see the love between Josh and Lisa. Sharing this evening with them made shooting their wedding even more special, I got to know them for who they are. People don’t realize how engagement shoots are, it’s a time set for the me and the couple to bond. It’s where I learn little secrets about the bride and the groom, we get to talking about the wedding day’s details, and it’s a time for brides and grooms to get to know me as a person.

Josh and Lisa had their wedding at the beautiful La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes, California. Be sure to check back to view their amazing wedding.
