Annie & Jason's Wedding at St. Regis Monarch Beach in California

Annie and Jason got married at the beautiful St Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point California. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful. I had the opportunity to work with my good friend Rodolfo Arpia and second shot for him. I have to confess that I enjoy being second shooter just as much as I enjoy being the primary. Three reasons: I get to observe other stories that are happening as the wedding develops. The main focus is Always the groom and the bride, of course, but the reason why they have family and friends with them, is because THEY are part of their celebration too. So they are a very important part of their wedding day. The joy of having the people that we love with us sharing our special moments, is what makes our life even more extraordinary. Happiness has to be shared to fully enjoy every bit of it. The second reason why I enjoy second shooting is that the groom and the bride don't feel the presure of having to listen to what I have to say, therefore they tend to be more relaxed and are not waiting for my instructions on what to do, as second shooter we capture 100% natural feelings, spontaneous expressions and trully beautifull candind moments. The third and last but not least is that toghether, with the main photographer, I contribute to tell the full story from diferent angles, different perspectives, different moments, different aspects, and we are able to present each couple whit the ability to live those unforgettable moments many years after, not only by showing them what they saw, but also what they didn't see on that special day. Rodolfo, it was a true pleasure working with you.
