Malibu Beach Wedding Photos | Kristen + Mike

It was only fitting for Kristen and Mike to have a Malibu beach wedding seeing as they were engaged on the beach at sunset.  We have to admit we have a special spot in our hearts for wedding photos on the beach!  We are huge fans of sunlit images and romantic silhouettes.

When we first met with Kristen, Mike was still deployed.  Although we didn’t get to meet Mike until the engagement session, we hit it off right away and knew this wedding would be full of fun!

We arrived at the private estate in Malibu, owned by Kristen’s Aunt and Uncle.  The house was gorgeous, and a few steps away was the beachfront wedding ceremony area.  It was clear from the laughter coming from all the rooms, that this was going to be tons of fun!  Kristen and Mike sent each other a round of shots for the guys/girls to take which always makes for fun photos.  While the girls were getting ready, Kristen and two of her bridesmaids (one of which her sister)  recreated a photo they had from their childhood.

The ceremony was gorgeous and Kristen entered through a special garden and took a stroll down the beach to the ceremony, where Mike was anxiously awaiting.  Kristen had a large scroll of paper she opened, to make everyone laugh, thinking it was her vows…  (we love when couples do FUN things and can laugh even during a serious thing like a ceremony)  After the ceremony, during bridal party photos we managed to get a super fun shot of the all the girls jumping on the beach.  After that we went to take Kristen + Mike’s romantic photos and I have to say we captured a shot that is my absolute favorite. They were walking and stopped for an impromptu kiss and Kristen’s dress is still moving, and it’s just the most romantic beach wedding photo I have ever seen. (I might be biased however).

Next up the reception which was ROCKIN!  After the first dance which is always heartwarming, the crowd got down to business with some dancing!!!  There was a balcony overlooking the party so we were able to sneak up there and get some fun shots from above, including a fun group shot as the night came to an end.

Every wedding and every couple is special to us and we truly enjoyed being able to capture Kristen and Mike’s wedding day!  We were treated like family and we certainly consider them friends!
