Karen and Demetrios, or ‘Jimmy’ as he is called, were just awesome people to work with. I hadn’t met them until the day of the wedding. But, through my phone conversations with Karen, I knew everything would be really great. They own Geroge’s Greek Cafe in Long Beach. Awesome food. Be sure to go there sometime if you’re in the area.
Here are some of my absolute favorite images from their day.
The shoes were killer.
Karen and her dad just before she walked down the isle.
‘Jimmy’ anticipating his bride.
A few portraits from the day.
The first dance.
Another portriat. After the first dance, we went up to the top of the Yacht Club. The sun was just perfect and we got some really great portraits.
I just loved the entire series of Jimmy taking off the garter. But, this one is my absolute favorite.
Karen told me several times during our phone conversations that there was a surprise, but I guess Jimmy was always there when we were talking so she couldn’t tell me. But, her and the girls put on leather jackets and sang Iron Maiden’s song, “Flight of Icarus”. It was awesome!
After that, there was dancing, mayhem, and line dancing…
Congratulations to both Karen and ‘Jimmy’!
