Wedding - Jennifer and David in Yosemite

I've just arrived from a wonderful weekend shooting Jennifer & David's Wedding in Yosemite National Park at The Ahwahnee Hotel.

As you are about to see, this couple is HOT !!!
I always have fun playing with the rings... after getting the 'safe shots' of course ;-)... we never end up using the 'safe shots' and I love it.




Jen in the final stages of the getting ready part


And here is the guys' version of the 'getting ready' shots. My wingman Marlon shot this one and a whole bunch more.
Don't worry, it's just a useless Victorinox and they were removing the suit tags.



I saw Jen behind this mesh and I instantly remembered this 5 second scene from the movie 'War of the Worlds' in which Dakota Fanning is waiting for his dad at the door after he'd seen the aliens for the first time... I've always loved that scene/shot and finally got to do it with a beautiful bride... I don't envy Spielberg anymore, well, maybe his little fortune...






The only problem I had shooting them is that they were so serious all the time...


... not really! This is who they really are








Husband and Wife


The guys didn't trust the photographer ;-(




Father and daughter


Finally I have to thank Meghan and Ray for the referral. It was great seeing you guys again!
You can see Meghan on the top banner of this blog, enjoying their reception slideshow on the photo below and you can click here for some images from their wedding...

I have no idea who the other couple on the right of the picture is... there's always someone walking into the frame ;-)




Thanks to both families and friends, what a great group of people.
COME BACK SOON FOR YOUR SLIDESHOW!

One of the boys who walked down the aisle right before Jennifer and her dad, asked a question out loud before doing so... what was it? Has to be verbatim! Hint: 4 words.

The first person to post a COMMENT with the correct answer will win a $10 iTunes Gift Card delivered via email.

Bylaw: No Marlon, you cannot participate ;-)

Good luck and check back to win more iTunes Gift Cards.

the question was: Is this the aisle? by Little West from The O.C.

Rodolfo Arpia said...

Yes Patricia... you got that right! It was so funny.

Please contact me at rarpia at yahoo dot com so I can send you the certificate.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dang! That kid is hilarious! (Okay, he's mine...) If you thought that was funny, you missed when he yelled in the lobby of the hotel, "MY PANTS ARE FALLING OFF!" If only he said that while walking down the aisle!

You guys were fantastic! You let them be themselves...goofy, fun, loving! Can't wait to see all the pics!
