The Hamill’s | The Ebell Club of Long Beach

12.12.09

I met Meghan approximately 8  years ago when she first started working at RauxaDirect. We instantly got along and had a great time working together. When I left Rauxa to pursue my love of photography, she also began studying her passion for clothing design. After all this time, we have come full circle to having me photograph her wedding and I couldn’t be happier! Because Meghan always had such amazing style, I knew her wedding was going to be beautiful and she sure didn’t disappoint. What a gorgeous bride and her new hubby was just as handsome. A seriously beautiful couple with perfect style … ahhh … my dream wedding.

The day started out a little crazy with one of the biggest rain storms we have seen in a long time. As I was driving to the Hotel Maya, the rain decided to let up  and I thought we were going to be in the clear, but, mother nature had a different plan. As soon as we were getting ready to take our pictures, another endless cluster of clouds rolled in and decided our photo fate for us. We were destined to shoot our pictures inside of the hotel lobby. Now, lucky for all of us, the Hotel Maya has one of the coolest lobby’s I have ever seen with a great big window paned wall that allowed for plenty of perfect light. After the hotel, we headed over to the beautiful Ebell Club of Long Beach for the ceremony. The Ebell was one of the best run wedding sites I have been too. They get big kudos! Because Meghan and Ryan’s ceremony wasn’t until after sunset and they didn’t want to see each other before the wedding, we decided that we are going to do an extra session to capture some amazing shots of just the two of them in another few weeks. I cannot wait to take more pictures of these two! Meghan and Ryan - Thank you for everything.  You guys were so relaxed, fun and easy to take pictures of. Your wedding was absolutely breathtaking and I feel so honored to have shared in such a beautiful wedding!!!
