Destination Wedding Photographer Greg Bumatay plus Orange County and Los Angeles

Amanda + Ryan @ UCLA

Posted in Wedding

It’s always easy when I photograph a couple that’s madly in love with each other. Every moment captured looks amazing. That’s just one of the bonuses I got when I met up with Amanda and Ryan on the UCLA campus for their bridal and post wedding photo session. Amanda looked stunning in her wedding dress and she has this natural elegance in her poise. Ryan looked sharp with a calm and confident demeanor. Good looks, love in the air, and the beautiful campus as our backdrop made this photo shoot fabulous!

Sarah & Anthony | Love in the OC

Posted in Engagement

Sometimes it just doesn’t feel like I’m working when I get to shoot a couple like Sarah and Anthony. It’s more like having fun and hanging out with friends. The first thing I noticed was how Anthony adored Sarah. They have a certain chemistry that’s visible in all their engagement pictures – they seem to always get lost in each other’s eyes. There was one moment when I asked Anthony to tell Sarah a little story, but when she got close to him and lightly brushed up against his face, he totally forgot what he was saying. It didn’t matter, they were enjoying each other even without words.

Janice & Gerard | Turnip Rose

Posted in Wedding

Congratulations to Janice and Gerard! The word for this truly beautiful wedding was “finally”.

Their close friends and family were talking about this wedding like it was the most highly anticipated event in their lives. There’s good reason for that because Gerard and Janice have known each other since early childhood. Even their families have known each other just as long and they’ve all been looking forward to this day. What else can possibly be a better example of true love than what they’ve had for over twenty years? Their “finally” wedding was emotionally charged, and the highlight of their reception was a video clip of how Gerard proposed to Janice on their church’s playground (where they first met).

I love it when the entire bridal party is charged up for pictures!

There were a lot more images I wanted to show from their wedding, but instead of posting all of them here, I thought it would be a much better presentation on a slideshow. Please hit ‘play’ and enjoy!

Christel + Kyle = Sexy | Del Mar | Torrey Pines

Posted in Wedding

Christel and Kyle: naturally sexy

Del Mar & Torrey Pines Engagement Pictures

We hiked up the hill to the spot where Kyle proposed to Christel in Del Mar. It was a picturesque setting with rare Torrey Pines surrounding the hillside, clear blue skies above, and the pearly ocean just beneath us. I hadn’t even started taking pictures yet when Kyle wrapped his arms around Christel – they embraced. Kissed. Naturally. It was the beginning of an amazing photo about two young people in love.

One of my all time favorite engagement pictures at the beach, and I knew as soon as I took the shot
