Laura and Mark are such a fabulous couple! They are so sweet and so in love, their smiles are absolutely infectious! They were married at the beautiful Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens in Claremont, which was a perfect backdrop to their special day. I was helped out by my friend Rowena who came along as my second shooter the day since I am getting quite big by this point in my pregnancy 
If you haven’t had enough of Laura and Mark after this post please go check out her blog to see some of her great shots!
I started out the day with Laura and her ladies getting ready… she had such a gorgeous dress and shoes I couldn’t just post one photo… and I should warn you as well that this is going to be a long post! Thank you Laura and Mark for your patience with me getting these all online!
Laura looked absolutely stunning all ready to get married… gorgeous!
All of the ladies were looking quite lovely as well… I adored the color of the bridesmaids dresses!

The ceremony was so beautiful and emotional…. Laura’s big walk down the aisle with her father was so special.
I love a happy couple!
After the ceremony we headed out to do some couple portraits…. I love when a couple is so happy and so radiant, it makes my job so easy!
After the portraits it was time for the reception, and what a great reception it was! The night kicked off with a great first dance by Laura and Mark
The toasts were pretty fantastic as well… this is certainly a loving family who knows how to give a speech!
Once dinner was over the music picked up and this crowd really hit the dance floor! You know I love a good dancing crowd… so much fun!!
Laura and Mark I had an absolutely fabulous time at your wedding!
Thank you for inviting me along to your very special day! Another big thanks as well to Rowena for helping me out!
