Kimmie and Brian’s wedding was one of a kind! I can honestly say “I’ve never photographed anything like it!” Most weddings that I have the privilege to photograph are usually at a church, synagogue or temple, followed by a beautifully decorated reception at a popular hotel venue. I have photographed beach weddings, an island wedding, a helicopter wedding, weddings in front of mountain-scapes, and back yard weddings, destination weddings, but never a wedding in a professional sports stadium! Kimmie and Brian chose to be married at Angel’s Stadium, where the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles play baseball! It was awesome! It was different! It was surreal! Kimmie and the girls got ready inside one of the suites that overlooked the baseball diamond and Brian and the guys got ready in the Press Box! We did portraits of the families on the entrance ramps into the stadium and portraits of the bridal party in the Angels’ dugout! All I can say is “how cool is that!?!” The ceremony took place at home plate with the groomsmen standing up the first base line and the bridesmaids standing up the third base line. Kimmie and Brian’s family and friends were seated comfortably on the perimeter of the infield by the backstop. Carpet and seats were placed on top of the dirt track that is normally there. A white runner for the wedding party processional ran from the umpire entrance opening in the backstop netting to home plate. Everyone had to duck their heads under the opening to step on the field. I loved every minute of it and will remember this wedding for the rest of my life! The very festive reception followed upstairs in the Home Plate Club restaurant.
