Adamson House Malibu | Kiyoko and Chris Wedding

The Adamson House in Malibu will fulfill all of your beach wedding dreams and offer privacy for you and your guests as well. The house was actually a private residence at one time but is now property of the California Parks & Recreation and is operated as a historical site. You can see from the first two pictures how unique, classy and well-preserved the property is . . .

By the way, these shots were taken using a photography technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging. Click on the following link to view an article I wrote about HDR photography for weddings.

The wedding is going to be in the shade of this MASSIVE sycamore tree on the right (which doesn’t look that massive using my 10.5 lens) . . .

The following images are from the wedding of Kiyoko and Chris. I felt very honored to photograph their BIG day as they have become special friends. Due to limited space I can only post a few pictures, but if you would like to see about 100 pictures from their day in a slideshow format click here. The room for the girls to get ready in is perfect for photography – lots of natural light coming in the windows, dark wood and mirrors (and it’s also right next to the swimming pool!). . .

Kiyoko is wearing a stunning designer gown by Pronovias . . .

Here’s our groom, Chris! Flowers on this day were created by Fleur-de-lis Floral Couture in Pasadena . . .

Here’s the guys in a pre-game prayer huddle. . .

Very proud Dad walking Kiyoko to the ceremony site . . .

Once again, the following ceremony picture (under the MASSIVE sycamore tree) was produced using a technique called HDR



I have to give props to my supercool Infrared Wedding Photography. Click on the link to view another one of my articles. There are not too many wedding photographers pulling this off . . .

As mentioned earlier, the Adamson House in Malibu is directly on the beach. It is literally walking steps to the sand . . .


I have to give a shout out to the VERY entertaining DJs of the evening – DJ EFFEX and DJ DAVE of Cool Sounds. They are based in Long Beach and regularly work throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties. I see new DJs almost every weekend and thes guys are definitely some of the best. Dave did a really fantastic job keeping the guests entertained through various games and Effex was GREAT at mixing the beats.

This wedding at the Adamson House in Malibu was photographed in September and the sun was shining until the early evening. I was able to shoot natural light for almost the entire reception using my favorite f1.4 lenses from Nikon! The pictures came out AWESOME. Best wishes to Kiyoko and Chris! Talk to you soon.
