Vegetarian, Vegan Wedding Menu
I photographed a truly unique wedding today. Today’s bride and groom were vegans. Vegans are kind of like vegetarians, but vegans are more strict. They were earth loving, up-scaled, quiet people.
Reception Decoration, Food, Desert
The wedding reception was calm and loving. Most of all, it was not loud. I didn’t have to wear my ear plugs which I always wear at wedding receptions. They made a strong point about taking care of earth, recycling, and healthy life-style. What they demonstrated was very educational to me.
Their dinner tables were all covered with brown papers. Their dinner plates were made out of bamboo. All of their silver-wears were bamboo as well. The tables were not sparkling, but they were warm and classy.

Vegan (vegetarian) Wedding Menu
I was very surprised by the fancy, quality meal they had for the wedding guest. I never had any vegan wedding menu before. The food was very colorful (vivid) and they tasted good. I mean it was a super fantastic meal.
For desert, they had vegan ice cream. The bride and groom kept insisted that I get a taste of their vegan ice cream. But I just didn’t get the chance. After all, I was there to work. :).
This has to be one of the most memorable wedding receptions. The reception seemed more spiritual. Vegetarians tend to care more about life. I could feel that special energy from the bride and groom. I felt small and humble. It was a very educational experience to me.

Country Western Wedding at Moorpark
Story coming (I hope). Sorry, I am way too busy.. ![]()
I plan to come back to this post and complete my story about this lovely Country Western wedding at Moorpark. But, chances are, I will never find the time. I am sorry. But I have to get ready for 4 weddings coming up in June.
It was a real shotgun wedding. The groom was a real cowboy. They got married in the ranch at Moorpark. Wedding guests came all dressed up in Country Western attires. With this wedding, I had to pay extra attention to capture their “Country Western” feeling.

I try very hard to go above and beyond with every single customer. When I work, my customers receive 110%. My number one goal is to get my customers to write good comment on my website. Believe what you read on my customers comment page. They are written voluntarily.
