wedding photography at the Calamigos Equestrian Center

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

This is Peter and Rebecca, and they’re smiling ear-to-ear because they are in the midst of getting married. And I can bear witness to the fact that it was a moving and beautiful ceremony for this fun and really wonderful couple.

01 Calamigos Equestrian ceremony

You might recognize this couple from my first “wedding photo of the day” post, which is a great example of their dancing abilities.

The ceremony was at the Little White House at the Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. (I work here often, so please check back for more posts on this location.)  After the ceremony, Peter hopped in their get-away car, and it was off into the sunset… OK, it actually wasn’t sunset yet and where they were off to was the Flamingo Banquet Hall in Tujunga.

They forewent many of the traditional reception events. However they did not dance  just one or two, but three extremely well choreographed dances for their guests. (Their choreographers were Francisco and Stacey Martinez, a.k.a. “The Teachers of Teachers” of The Dance Family Studio in Pasadena, CA.)

The Calamigos Equestrian (also known as the Los Angeles Equestrian Center) is located at 480 Riverside Dr. in Burbank, CA 91506. This is a wonderful venue with three options for ballrooms. It is actually located in Griffith Park and has great views and large sycamore trees.

The Flamingo Banquet Hall is located at 7179 Foothill Blvd. in Tujunga, CA. It is right on the corner of Foothill Blvd. and Commerce Ave. and is easily accessible from the 210, 118, 134 and 2 freeways. The management and staff here are really great.

wedding photograph of the day 2009-08-22No, this isn’t a wedding ceremony gone terrible bad…this is Peter and Rebecca and this image was taken during their second dance at their wedding reception and yes, she is upside down over a marble dance floor without a net. They did three solo dances for their guests and they were all done exceptionally well. This couple definitely had the spirit moving within them, oh yeah…

Their dance instructors were  Francisco and Stacey Martinez of The Dance Family Studio in Pasadena. I have had the pleasure of photographing a number of the couples they have given dance instruction to, and I’ve always been impressed and have heard nothing but the highest of praise for them.

Watch for a post to follow. The ceremony was at the Calamigos Equestrian in Burbank with the reception at the Flamingo Room in Tujunga.

Congratulations again to you both, Rebecca and Peter. I wish you good health and happiness and whatever you do, keep on dancing.
