Sunset Wedding At The Beach

The most beautiful sky one could have imagined and photographed graced the beach for the wedding of Ryan & Sara at sunset. As the sun dropped into the ocean at Huntington Beach, California, the clouds and the sky turned every shade of red, orange and yellow. And the sand and the surf reflected every color like a mirror. I was so very happy to have photographed this intimate family wedding for these wonderful people. You can view more of these photos at Ryan & Sara.
