Cherish & John | Castaway Burbank Wedding Photography

Cherish and John are definitely my kind of couple. Fun loving, smart, great looking, wonderful senses of humor, just to name a few of their marvelous characteristics. And to top it off, they are wonderfully nice people too! Cherish purchased her incredible Valena Valentina gown at our bridal boutique The Ivory Suite. To say she looked stunning would be a huge understatement, as you can see for yourself in these photos. The theme for their wedding was movie based, and lots of their details reflected their admiration for motion pictures. From the miniature movie poster place cards to the Kill Bill samurai sword, this couple had to have their night all about the films and it was fantastic. It’s couples like Cherish and John that really make me love my job. Cheers Cherish and John, and thanks for a wonderful night at the movies!
