Electra Cruises | Wedding Photography| Newport Beach, CA| Mark & Carrie

Carrie & Mark were married aboard the "Eternity" in Newport Beach.  Although the forecast had called for a chance of rain earlier in the week, the weather was beautiful and the sky amazing!  

Here is a sneak peek from their wedding day:

Carrie's Gorgeous Wedding Gown

Carrie is the 14th grandchild, so she was given this beautiful handkerchief by her grandparents embroidered with a special message and the #14.  The ring pillow below the handkerchief was sewn by Carrie's mother and made from both of her grandmother's wedding dresses. So sweet and touching.

Vibiana | Wedding Photography | Los Angeles, CA

Just a few days before Christmas, Robert and I had the pleasure of photographing Liah & Cristian's wedding.The wedding was held at the gorgeous Vibiana in Los Angeles, CA. Although it was pouring rain outside, the wedding day was fabulous!  

There are so many wonderful details to share that were beautifully designed and executed by de Luxe Weddings & Events.  We probably could have posted about 50 photos, but we like to keep a sense of mystery and suspense. So maybe there will be an upcoming sequel to this post.  This wedding is also being submitted for publication so we don't want to give away too much. 

Here is our sneak peek:

Wow!  How did it get to be Friday already!?!  Did all of you have a fabulous week?

Well, Spring is definitely here in Southern California.  It's 71 degrees and beautiful.  So, I thought I'd post some photos of springtime florals that will surely get you in the mood for Easter.
Leslie of Pixie's Petals recently invited me to photograph her floral designs at the El Dorado Park  Restaurant and Event Center in Long Beach.  Thanks Leslie :)
