So… our day started off at The Hilton Hotel in Long Beach where the bride was getting ready.  The reception and ceremony was at The Reef restaurant in Long Beach, CA. This wedding was a little bit unique because the bride and groom did not want to do “romantics” session. (this is where the bride and groom do their cutesy, lovey dovey thing and i take pictures as it happens) They insisted that we get alot of pictures of the children and the guests. All in all, it was a fun and entertaining wedding to shoot.
