Michelle + Cameron Wedding: The Reef – Long Beach

Michelle and Cameron are photographed at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach, CA on 9/4/11.

After Michelle and Cameron’s engagement shoot, I knew I was in for a treat on their wedding day. Cameron is a trumpet playing jazz musician, composer and educator. Michelle is a dancer, choreographer and ballet instructor. Their musical passions really came out in the elegant style of their jazz-chic rooftop wedding at The Reef in Long Beach.

There was never a shortage of interesting and stylish details to shoot. Jade was the color of the day, accented with a black and white floral pattern. The Hotel Maya provided beautiful backdrops for photos before the ceremony. During the ceremony, the view of the harbor was amazing, and the setting sun peaked through the clouds right in time to catch the kiss.

I lot of creative detail went into this wedding that Michelle planned herself. Lots of great people made it all come together, including Wedding Flowers 4 Less, Dance Party Industries, Rossmoor Pastries, and an awesome jazz trio thanks to Michelle Maestas to name a few.
