I can't say enough about this amazing wedding and fantastic couple! Ashley and JT are so much fun, it was actually difficult to make them "not smile" at any point during the night. These two were pros by the time of their wedding night though ... we had one of the best beach engagement sessions with the just a few months earlier (which can be viewed here).
The day started off at the Ayres Hotel with the two of them getting ready with their bridal party, procession into the evening ceremony - led by their dog and ring bearer Jackson, amazingly brilliant introductions to the reception by their officiant and AVP volleyball broadcaster Chris "Geeter" McGee. It was truly priceless, he had the whole crowd busting up laughing. It should be apparent that Ashley and JT are not only loyal volleyball enthusiasts, but quite passionate about the Lakers too ... Ashley sported a custom pair of purple converse throughout the night and the bridal party ran into the reception ballroom with full Staples Center spirit ... wearing custom Lakers jerseys!
For the photographers out there: we photographed all their portraits indoors during the evening, so as much as we love available light, we had to get creative because the hotel was stunning but dim. Our cameras were set to iso 800 at f/1.4 and we employed the help of a few Arri 150's and our LitePanels MicroPro for fill and accent light.
