We have photographed many weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in Long Beach, at the Queen Mary, La Palapa restaurant, Betty Reckas Cultural Center, St. Cornelius and St. Barnabas Church, Long Beach Museum of Art  and Temple Israel Jewish synagogue. 

Long Beach is considered a sleepy suburb of Los Angeles, home to nearly 475,000 people--which makes it the 7th largest city in California and the second largest in L.A. County. 

The Port of Long Beach is the United States' second busiest container port and one of the world's largest shipping ports. Long Beach borders Orange County on its southeast edge.
