Exploring Beau Rivage

I'll be shooting a wedding at Beau Rivage, Malibu, in early October, and I recently did a site visit with the bride. It was an opportunity to explore the restaurant's Old World vibe and play photographically.

I really do love mandalas, and I can hardly resist an opportunity to photograph a naturally occurring one. This is an underbelly shot of the chandelier and dome in the reception hall.

I adore this shot. I love how the bride-to-be is flanked by paintings and how she's glowing! Lovely... I'm looking forward to the big day!
