An Armenian Church Wedding: Tamara and Kevin
Tamara and Kevin's wedding moved from Deukmejian Wilderness Park to St. Gregory Armenian Catholic Church and a coastal reception beside the Redondo Beach pier.
Tamara Matevosyan and Kevin Malarick created a wedding day with three distinct settings: mountain portraits at Deukmejian Wilderness Park, a traditional ceremony at St. Gregory Armenian Catholic Church, and an evening reception at Veterans Park Community Center near the Redondo Beach pier.
The changing landscape gave their gallery a broad visual range while their simple black-and-white attire remained timeless throughout.
Mountain Wedding Portraits
Before the ceremony, Tamara and Kevin photographed in the foothills at Deukmejian Wilderness Park. Stone steps, native brush, and mountain ridges created clean natural frames for their first look and couple portraits.
The quiet setting gave them time together before the formal part of the day began.
A Traditional Armenian Catholic Ceremony
At St. Gregory Armenian Catholic Church, the arched sanctuary and warm stone created a formal setting for the ceremony. The crowning tradition, prayers, and processional were photographed with a balance of wide architectural views and close details.
Family portraits outside the church completed the ceremony story before everyone traveled to the coast.
A Coastal Reception in Redondo Beach
Veterans Park Community Center gave the reception an oceanfront location just steps from the pier. White and lavender flowers, warm candlelight, and tall windows kept the room elegant while the coastline remained close at hand.
At sunset, Tamara and Kevin stepped outside for portraits with the pier and Pacific horizon behind them.
