I have known Michael since I began my business in photography 7 years ago. He was a huge mentor to me and helped me to better understand the business. At the time, he had a photography studio in Arcadia and he always had an open door policy for me to drop in and shoot there or just to hang out and chat with his team. Over the years we formed a very solid friendship and I was beyond honored when he asked me to photograph his wedding! It's always a big compliment when another photographer asks you to photograph them/their wedding!

Linda is a classic beauty...and absolutely perfect for Michael. Their love for each other is so strong and was evident throughout the day.
As they joined each other in marriage on Sunday, Michael's son Pierce and Linda's two children, Drake & Lily also joined them united as a new (and adorable) family!
Here are some of my favorite images...

Here is Linda's daughter, Lily. She is such a sweet girl...

These necklaces were given to each of the three childern during the ceremony to welcome them in to the family as one. It was such an amazing moment in the ceremony. Both Michael and Linda took a moment to speak to each child and recited vows especially for the children...I don't think there was a dry eye anywhere.

Mr. & Mrs. Michael Nakamura....

Thank you both for allowing me to capture your day for you. I wish you nothing but love and good fortune as you begin your venture with each other and your beautiful family.
