Tricia And Scott | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | Chelsea Elizabeth Photography

Tricia & Scott started off the wedding season for me! What a great wedding to start off 2009 with. I met Tricia years ago through my brother Christian, but Tricia’s Dad and my Dad go way back. My Dad used to take Mark surfing back in the day. I just love shooting weddings of friends & friends of friends. It makes me feel part of the day. The day started off great. I have to say that Tricia was the calmest bride I have EVER seen! I wish I could have had it that together for my wedding but I was all nerves. Tricia was the best. She was just so excited to marry Scott and there was nothing else to stress over. We got some fun portraits, they had a great ceremony and then headed over to the cocktail hour. There was so much time to just enjoy their friends and family. It was a fun time! Congratulations Tricia & Scott!!!

This wedding was especially fun for me since my Dad was a guest. It was great watching him have such a fun time hanging out with his friends. Some of the guys were his buddies from High School and they had some pretty fun stories to tell! On the right is a picture of my second shooter, Kip. I often use him to scope out locations and test the light. He’s such a good sport! And one hell of a photographer!

Here come the fun stuff! I loved the beading on Tricia’s dress. Her dress went to perfectly with the theme of their wedding!

I just love first glance moments! I think Scott was soooo happy to see Tricia before the wedding.

The Ventura Beach Mariott has some great places for portraits inside the lobby. I love the bold bright colors they have decorated the hotel with. I’m sooo in love with that red wall!
