A couple of weeks ago we ventured out to Hollywood Park, with famed wedding photographer, Robert Evans, for a few pics of us frolicking among the ponies at one of our favorite spots.

Love at Hollywood Park

Robert was great to work with. He made us feel so comfortable. I’ve heard so many horror stories about wedding photographers that picking the right one seemed a daunting task. We sure lucked out with Robert. His credentials speak for themselves (he shot Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s wedding as well as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ wedding). Frankly, I was hesitant to call him. I thought it was such a long shot and would be way out of our budget, but Robert proved me wrong. He is so friendly and put together a package that worked for us.

It was important for us to have great wedding photos as they will be the one reminder of our day that will last forever. We can’t wait for the wedding. And, after the beautiful photos Robert took at our engagement shoot, we are so excited to see the masterpieces he’ll produce on our big day. Take a look and I think you’ll agree that Robert Evans is more than a wedding photographer; he’s an artist.

I was expecting a sea of pink meringue and got just about that.  DJ’s pumping music, girls trying on dresses, roses dyed blue (yes, blue!), hair pieces, liposuction offers, honeymoon travel vendors, and there was even a cosmetic surgery center giving out stress balls shaped like a breast (I grabbed one of those for my groom).

The piece de resistance for the afternoon was the cake dive–three girls diving into a cake in search of a diamond necklace.  Those girls took down not only the cake, but also the table it was on.  It was on the verge of getting really ugly when one lucky, soon-to-be bride yelped her victory cry and the crowd erupted in a loud squeal.

In the end, I’m glad we went.  I did accomplish a few things–got registered, found info on tux rentals, and got to see some of the NFL playoffs in the Direct TV area set up for the grooms-to-be (why do the guys always get the good stuff?). Stay tuned for more to come!
