So for the last few weeks my contact form on my wedding website hasn't been sending me emails, so for anyone who might have emailed me through there and I never responded, my sincerest apologies! I can't even find the emails on my server to at least know who didn't get through. But on the bright side it led to me revamp my whole website, so a bunch of all new weddings and the front page features my 9 latest weddings, so even if I may not be updating my blog all the time, my site will always be updated with my latest work. Feel free to visit Chaz Cruz Weddings if you haven't been there in a while.
theresa + eric / here comes the love
Alright, heres another fun one from Los Angeles. Last time we saw Theresa and Eric it was for their downtown engagement session, now for their wedding they kept it nice and green. The day was an amazing one, getting ready at the London Hotel in West Hollywood then heading over to Santa Monica for the ceremony at St. Paul the Apostle. We made a little stop at the Gamble House for some portraits and finally ended at Pandora on Green for the reception. A big thanks to the Little Branch for the flowers, Jordan Event Studio and Timeless Celebrations for the coordination and Shannon Sturgis for the assist. Update: This wedding was recently featured on Style Me Pretty California!
april + joseph / hearts in sync
A fun one a few months back with one of my favorite couples, April and Joseph. You might remember them from their music themed engagement, now they're back for the music themed wedding. We started off at the Embassy Suites in Glendale for their first look, then headed over to Brand Park for a few more portraits. St. Bernard's church in Los Angeles housed their ceremony and the LA River Center and Gardens their reception. Thanks to Mary Frances of Floataway Studios for shooting with me.
melody + curtis / love in the arts
Photographing this awesome couple's wedding tomorrow in New York City, so wanted to show off a lil of the work that we did for their engagement session. Melody and Curtis met at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, so we traveled back there to reminisce.
rita + chad / san francisco vibes
It's been a long time since I've blogged and I'm getting back in the habit. A full season flying back and forth from San Diego and NYC has taken its toll on my social media, but this should be a fun way to get the ball rolling. A few months ago I went to San Francisco to photograph a bridal session with a friend of mine Rita and her husband Chad. They got married in Bora Bora so they wanted to get some portraits done in San Francisco where they reside. Rita and I have been friends since high school and we got into the wedding industry at the same time, me with photography and her with makeup. She is an extremely talented makeup artist, so brides if you are in the San Diego or San Francisco area, definitely check out her work.
