Wayfarers Chapel Wedding Photography | Stacy & Lee

Stacy and Lee got married at the beautiful Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes, which is nestled in a grove of towering redwood trees.  The natural sanctuary of Palos Verdes stone and glass designed by Lloyd Wright gives unique expression to the sacred space that welcomes all wayfarers along life’s path.  The beauty of Wayfarers Chapel was a perfect reflection of Stacy & Lee’s releationship.

I love it when couples choose to have a first look before the ceremony. It’s such an emotional moment for them and gives them time to soak in the moment.

I love the way she looks at him.  I can see how much she adores him here.

And he adores her just as much.

We also had the opportunity to take these cool “Thank You” photos before the ceremony.

And then time for the ceremony! I love how Stacy’s mom & dad both walked her down the aisle.

It was evident how close Stacy & her dad are.

Wayfarers is such a gorgeous chapel! What a beautiful backdrop!

It was so great to work with Joe from Today’s the Day.  I actually had tried to hire him for our own wedding, but he was already booked.  Even though he was booked, he gave us great tips on how to make our own montage and we are very thankful for his diy tips.  It was great to finally meet him in person.

After the ceremony, we just had to take a photo to capture the beautiful trees.  I love the beauty that surrounds them.

And I totally LOVE the photos we were able to get before reception!  I love it when couples plan lots of time in between for photos.  It gives them time to unwind and relax before the party begins.

Wasn’t it such a perfect day?

When Stacy first contacted me, she was unsure of her location.  She sent me an email to say that she has decided on Wayfarers Chapel, but needed a reception location.  This happened to be right after I shot for Bistro 767, so I was going to email her the suggestion when she wrote another email telling me that she just visited my blog and saw that I had JUST blogged about Bistro 767!  It was totally meant to be!

They had a super cute, creamed color cake with sugar plumerias all over.  The delicious cake was made by none other than Kings Hawaiian Bakery.

Really touching maid of honor speech by her sister.

And Stacy’s father shedding tears of joy during the speeches.  I love weddings!

Congrats Stacy & Lee!
