Brett and Chelsea | Wedding | Newport Beach LDS Temple | Mint and Gold Wedding

Brett is a good ol' boy. Growing up with Blake's youngest brother and always cracking jokes, making people smile. When we found out he was engaged to be married (in the Temple Blake and I were sealed in, no less!) we were so happy for him. His lovely wife, Chelsea, is such a stunning example of a lady and her whole style was rocking this wedding. Enjoy the DIY eye candy and the minty gold goodness.

Tanya and Justin | Wedding | Harpo Marx Estate | Black and White | First Look

When they exchanged gifts, I was left in tears.

The first look left me in tears.

Their friends who spoke during the ceremony had me in tears.

And their first dance left me smiling... but in tears. 

This was SUCH a beautiful wedding and so completely focused on Tanya and Justin's enduring relationship and love for one another. 

Beauty-full.

Sara and Victor | Ceremony | St. Bruno's Catholic Church | Whittier

Sarah and Victor were married in St. Bruno Catholic Church.
(that also happens to the church I went to when I was young. It felt like shooting at a childhood home)

I LOVE Sarah's face. She cannot wait to make Victor her husband.

Pretty sure Victor fills the same

LOVE!

He was stealing glances like this all day.

They took a moment to remember Victor's cousin.

Family and Friends make the celebration that much sweeter.

Sarah and Victor | Father and Brother First Look | Groom Tease | Brea

We have shot first looks between bride and groom many many times. Its always a very special moment between the couple, but also very untraditional.

Sarah and Victor did not want to see eachother before the ceremony on the their wedding day.

We still got to shoot a first look though.

One of the sweetest, most adorable first looks in my career. 

Father/Brother first look.

Sarah's Dad doesn't even know what hes in for.

Here she comes.

He thought she looked beautiful

... so did her brothers.

It was a truly beautiful moment

Not to lose focus of her darling dear, Sarah did interact with Victor that morning.

She helped him, as he was blindfolded, tie his bow tie.

they shared words of love, encouragement and one last "engaged" embrace.

Now, I told you Sarah had "Bridesdudes" right? Well she, of course had to help them with their ties too!

This is probably my favorite shot of Dad. Just chillin with a bouquet and muffin in his tux.
Yeah, hes pretty cool.

We had some time to do a few portraits before we had to leave for the ceremony...

Sorry ladies, hes taken.

one last primp...

and its off to the chapel!
