About 2 weeks ago I received the following email from bride, Irla:
"I am a fan of your website and I have a special request that maybe you can help me with. My future husband and I are fans of micro-breweries and would like to have a wedding there. Yet, I can't find any examples of real weddings done at a brewery. Can you maybe do a post one of these days of a real wedding done at a brewery, if you can find one. Thanks so much for your awesome website. It has helped me and many others that I have referred your website to."

And now . . . here is today's Real Wedding (and a few details) . . .

Photographer: Gregory of Belle Images and the Sweet Smile blog
Venue: Faultline Brewery in Sunnyvale, California

From Gregory: "Each step of the day from the toasts to the kiss was followed by the time honored tradition of raising a pint."

Thank You Gregory for sharing this brewery wedding with my readers and Irla.

Photographed by the up and coming wedding photographer Max Wagner. Marissa and David's wedding ceremony and reception took place in Del Mar, CA.

Click here to see a portfolio wedding from Max that was posted earlier today

The following portfolio wedding of Shoko and Julian was photographed by the talented Max Wagner. This couple didn't actually get married {yet!}, but Max choose them for an editorial type shoot to reflect his style as he begins to transition into photographing more weddings. (He's done mostly editorial work in the past)

From the photographs shown below, I think you will agree that Max has a wonderfully artistic eye. For me, each photograph is a work of art. The shoot took place in Studio City, CA.

Please check back later in the early afternoon for another wedding (with a real bride and groom) by Max Wagner.
