LeeAnn & Geoff:: Ayres Hotel, Manhattan Beach

LeeAnn & Geoff got married on August 2nd at the Ayres Hotel in Manhattan Beach. What a day it turned out to be. Where do I begin? This one definitely went down in my book as one of the most memorable. First of, LeeAnn and Geoff were so accommodating and sweet. Since they were planning their wedding from out of town, on the wedding was the first time we actually met. However, we just didn’t waste anytime getting to know each other. Secondly, I also had the oppportunity to meet and work with two incredibly talented and sweet photographers that go by the name of Jonilyn Brown and Natalie Williams. And of course Paola from Just Chic Events …another person that I’ve been wanting to meet for a while now. These ladies are the classiest as they come.

Other vendors include:

Florist – Kristin Brancoleone of The Treasured Petal
Hair by Huyen Tran
Custom hair piece by Myra Callan of Twigs and Honey

Lighting design – Atmosphere Events
DJ – Tom Chandler of Cal Sounds

LeeAnn’s gorgeous gown by Monique Lhuillier – (it’s the same design worn by Kevin Costner’s wife). A nice touch on the personalized dress hanger.

Geoff’s grandma passed away a few months before the wedding. They used a lace
handkerchief of hers to wrap around the bouquet.

The little curious girl on the right is Brooke, LeeAnn’s niece and also flower girl.

A love note from Geoff’s soon-to-be wife.

A moment of anticipation before their “first look”.

LeeAnn wears three rings that represent past, present, and future.

LeeAnn and Geoff had a ribbon ceremony.

Then sealed with a kiss.

Love this one so much!

This is Mike Manley, Geoff’s dad . He is actually an Olympian who ran the Steeple Chase event at the ‘72 Munich Olympics. Glad to see he can still get down :)

This one just cracks me up.

Lettin’ loose at the photo booth.

Thank you LeeAnn & Geoff for inviting me to be a part of this incredible celebration. Take care!

    What a gorgeous bride and wedding. I especially like the beer shot, the full length shot of LeeAnn standing by the window with the light shining through, and the very last one. Love the long blog and how you documented it. Lots of eye candy to look at in this one. Your work makes me so excited for our wedding =)

    Hello Jason,

    Just wanted to thank you LOTS for including me in your blog. I’m working on my new website livecutdye.com and will be including a few of your photos of LeeAnn & Geoff’s wedd. I’d love to help promote a fellow artist with amazing talent. I see that you took engagement photos for Mary and her fiance (we were in a wedding party together last year). Great work Jason!
