Sherry and Jed put together such a wonderful group of vendors, and were so excited to be getting married, that the day sort of breezed by in a swirl of pretty flowers and happy faces.
The super sweet vendors from this wedding:

This was a first for us – The bridal party played volleyball before the ceremony!  Such a fun group!

We were THRILLED that Sherry and Jed decided to take a few minutes away from their reception to get some beach pictures as the sun set.  April and I are both completely smitten with these images.

Sherry and Jed, thank you for having us as part of your gorgeous wedding day!

The best of both worlds for photography! The L'Auberge Hotel is the epitome of beach elegance and every detail was perfect from the weather to that amazing dress (we love ruffles!) to the sweet florals to the rockin' band. Obviously, each wedding is a unique love story of the couple getting married, but this wedding was also a love story between a mother and daughter. Alli and her mom, Jackie, worked together, each from her respective coast, to create this stunning day. We love it when you can literally feel the joy between a bride & a groom, a mother & daughter, family and friends. It was a truly radiant day, as you can tell by the huge smiles plastered on everyone's faces. Congratulations, Alli & Gregg!

But it was Rachel & David's obvious joy & sweetness with each other that really knocked this one out of the park. That and Rachel's rockin' legs!]]>

Thanks for such a fun session, Rachel & David! We can’t wait for July!

Did I mention that the day was amazing? We were thrilled to hear that Martha Stewart Weddings wanted to feature this wedding on their website even if it meant keeping this post in our back pocket for awhile. You can check out the MSW feature here (be sure to click on the photo gallery for all the goodies) and since we've made Mindy & Brian wait for ages for this post, we'll get right to the photos! Enjoy!

Brian is a real live rocket scientist, so it was only appropriate that their officiant (Brian’s uncle) had all their guests count down from 10 for the big kiss!

3…2…1…

Mindy surprised Brian with a performance by the USC Marching Band – They totally rocked!

Mindy & Brian, Thanks so much for starting our season off on such a high! We hope this post was worth the wait!
