I was so blessed to be a part of Kristen and Scott beautiful wedding.  We had an instant connection and a mutual respect from the get-go since Kristen (an incredibly talented artist and art teacher) and Scott (an accomplished art director) are very creative individuals...not to mention super good lookin'.  Kristen and Scott had a beautiful wedding ceremony at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Laguna Beach among their loving family and friends.  Their reception took place at El Niguel Country Club, Laguna Niguel.  They even had a special guest Nick Urata from an acclaimed indie band called Devotchka to sing their first-dance song.  You see Scott took Kristen to see this band played a few months into dating five years ago and they both said we would dance to that song at their wedding one day.  Needless to say, it finally happened.  There were so many great images that it was so hard to me to narrow them down to a few.  So grab a seat and get ready for a long teaser.  Thank you to the wonderful and talented Sarah K Chen for coming out to second shoot with me.  I would also like to take this opportunity to thanks Kristen's and Scott's family for being so gracious and accommodating.
