I can't say enough about these two! I met Cory and Randy when they booked their wedding with me late in 2013. I knew when we met, and they described what they had planned for the wedding, that I was going to love their wedding day and really wanted to be their photographer! These two are absolutely incredible! They have so much love for each other I really wanted it to translate into the photos and video. If you have been to the Los Angeles Athletic Club (LAAC) then you know how incredibly beautiful it is and how much history is there. The architecture and design there is so incredible, I really wanted to take advantage of the space for their group photos and I think they turned out fantastic! And it doesn't get better than The Oviatt Penthouse for a ceremony. On the top of the roof - surrounded by all the other buildings in downtown Los Angeles, it was pretty great! And these two spots were a perfect fit for Cory and Randy - it matched their style and personalities perfectly. I am honored to have been there to photograph this incredible day. The best part?! I made new friends! Big thanks to the people at the Oviatt Penthouse and the LAAC. Also to Dan with Flowers by Dan who did an incredible job with the flowers. Nicole from Truly Yours Catering who managed the venue and catering was absolutely perfect! JJ from EV Sound was an amazing DJ, everyone had a blast on the dance floor! Allie from Pop the Champagne was so cute and fun, she handle all the coordination perfectly and was a lot of fun to work with. Nancy, my incredibly talented second-photographer did an excellent job too! I'm always impressed with her contribution on wedding day. Jared, thank you for helping out with all the gear and for the help getting some great video coverage. And Kirby from Friandise Bakery, those cupcakes were so good! Also, HUGE thank you to Ryan Jirovec who directly gave Derek Chad Photography permission to use his music in this video! I heard this version of the song at a beautiful wedding I photographed recently and fell in love with it immediately! But of course, thank you Cory and Randy for choosing Derek Chad Photography for your wedding day. And another big thank you to all of Cory and Randy's friends and family who helped make the day so special and so much fun! I really had a blast and it was really great meeting you all!
