Amy & James Wedding at St. James By The Sea Episcopaleon Church & Cuvier Club

Yes, it's been a while since my last post.  My only excuse is that I've been busy photographing weddings all summer long.  And what a summer it's been!  Here is a look at a lovely couple named Amy and James on their wedding day September 24th, 2011.  Amy and James and their families booked premium rooms at the Empress Hotel in La Jolla where the couple were photographed before the wedding in their separate rooms.  Amy put the finishing touches on before her ceremony while the groom and his pals played a few hands of cards.  How refreshing in this age of handheld devices!  Anyway, it was the most perfect weather for a wedding in La Jolla at the historical St. James By The Sea Episcopalian Church.  I've always hoped I would get to photograph there.  The photography rules are the strictest I've ever run across; but apparently I passed the test with flying colors and I didn't get banned like many others do.  It was a beautiful ceremony conducted by Reverend Randall.  Check-out the beautiful flowers from Artquest Floral. After the ceremony and some church photos we footed to the La Jolla shore for bride and groom photos.  Oh I love that place!  It is the best place to photograph couples and I just love working there.  Amy certainly had made her own statement in her beautiful gown, a most photogenic bride indeed.  James is a terrific guy and when he's with Amy he beams.  At times, I had to be sure I was photographing James and not his twin brother/best man.  The party got underway at the Cuvier Club where Amy & James, their bridal party, and family and friends had an amazing meal provided by The Abbey Catering.  This was yet another flawless all-inclusive package event put on by the amazing Abbey team of professionals.  Thank you Amy & James for allowing me the honor of being your photographer on one of the biggest, most memorable days of your lives!  XO Julie
