Wedding at St. Brendan Catholic Church and the Castaway Restaurant – Andre and Laica

By Austin | Published February 22, 2011

What a beautiful day this was! Everything about it was vibrant and full of life. Excellent colors, venues, and of course my favorite part: fantastic people! The day started with some getting ready photos at the Residence Inn in Burbank. Laica had an amazing hair and makeup team provided by Monet Salon and they were all fantastic to work with and did an amazing job. Laica’s gorgeous dress was made by Alberto Sanchez and awesome shoes by Nina Shoes. We even got a few fun portraits in the lobby before we headed off to the gorgeous St. Brendan Catholic Church for a wonderful ceremony. The Church is truly an architectural gem. From the stone work on the outer walls to the decorative ceiling rafters, everything about this Church is visually appealing. We ended the day at the fantastic Castaway Restaurant in Burbank where we were able to grab some fun portraits at the gazebo before heading into the reception where Andre and Laica were greeted by cheers of excitement and love as they made their grand entrance. There were so many smiles and echoes of laughter throughout the entire evening that you couldn’t help but join in. Thank you to everyone who was part of this day and thank you especially to Andre and Laica for being such an amazing couple and allowing me to be a part of your day!

Laguna Beach, Pearl Street Beach – Andre and Laica Engagement Session

By Austin | Published May 27, 2010

Andre and Laica are such a fun couple! We had a blast walking around Laguna Beach and we even found a fun new spot for photos in Pearl Street Beach. I have shot a lot at Moss Point Beach, which is only a couple of blocks away, but tides can be a problem at Moss Point. So it was fun to find an equally beautiful beach with more room to maneuver when the tide is high. The weather was absolutely perfect and there was just the right amount of clouds to grab some of the color from the sunset and make for a beautiful evening shoot. But it was Andre and Laica’s energy and personalities that really made this shoot fun. They are a true delight to be around and their smiles are contagious. I can’t wait for their wedding!
