they instantly had my heart.

somehow, since then, we’ve photographed deeply personal moments in beverly hills, venice beach, south carolina, cardiff, and recently, back to los angeles for what may have been my favorite shoot so far.

and baby east. you are just too perfect.

you are so loved by two incredible, warm & gracious humans.

you, east… i can’t wait to see who you are and who you become. i know you are amazing, and anticipate you will just somehow become more and more so.

his:

I fell in love with you from our very first date…

I never thought that such a beautiful special woman like you existed in this world…

I promise to love and care for you, and I will try in every way to be worthy of your love.

I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family’s love and happiness my priority…

I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my best friend, my partner in crime—my love and my life, today and always.  I love you, my angel.

hers:

Throughout my life, I’ve thought a lot about my wedding day. As most people do, I wondered about all the twists and turns that life would take to lead me to this day. But I thought less about the little things like what kind of a dress I would be wearing or would the wedding be big or small, and more about who the man would be standing in front of me at the altar.  Today, I finally have the opportunity to answer all of those questions.

I’m marrying a man that leaves me a cup of coffee by my bedside in the mornings because although he is a very enthusiastic morning person, he knows I am not…  I’m marrying a man that brings me flowers every week or so… because he knows I love flowers and he wanted to see me smile…  I’m marrying a man that has the heart of man’s man and a poet’s soul.  When this is all said and done, to all the questions I have ever had about today, you are the perfect answer… I vow to celebrate our successes and be supportive in our failures.  I vow to be gentle yet strong and to be adventurous and funny.

And I vow that as long as we’re together, we’ll always have a home.

After all, I’d go anywhere with you.

and that is far from the whole story.

i love what my co-photographer corey villicana posted on her blog – another look at the day.

there is so much more.

there was so much more underneath the beauty, love, and joy. the stories in each photograph are theirs… the emotions, love, & authenticity is ours with which to engage through these images & to admire.  i, personally, can’t wait to see how their life unfolds.  as lisa (the sweet sister of the bride) mentioned, he is the combination of the sweet safe love, support, and patience she needs & the adventurous spirit she lives out.  and it is so clear, that she brings so much to his soul.  this combination of sweet love, joy & adventurous spirits is destined to give them a lifetime of happiness.

in the months to come, i will put together moving photography – clips of video from the day. so we will revisit the day again in this space in the future – and think none of us will mind.

with the kind of beautiful bride who’s laughter is so full of life, and where the groom is quietly but boldly in awe & love with his girl… is genf20 hgh safe

where the father of the bride carries a picture in his pocket of his daughter on a horse & they tear up in exactly the same sweet way…

and where the brother-in-law officiating the wedding has the photographer nearly in tears.

love, love, love.

i hope, and have a good feeling, they’ll always keep glowing.
