Laura and Ezequiel were married on a gorgeous Southern California Saturday at Verandas in Manhattan Beach. The day was beautiful, the flowers were beautiful, the couple was beautiful… it was pretty much beautiful all around This post is a little bit later than I usually blog my weddings so to make up for it I’m going to post a ridiculously huge number of images… hope you enjoy!

Let’s start it off with some shots of Laura’s amazing and unique dress… I’ve never seen one like it and I LOVED it!

Don’t mind me some Christian Louboutin shoes either

I have to preface this one… I catch a lot of priceless expressions and funny moments while I’m out shooting a wedding. Most of the time I don’t put them on the blog because I know you want to see the pretty details and the fab portraits… but this one was just too good to pass up. This particular face was directed at the flower girl…

This girl right here

The amazingly beautiful flowers

The bride is a twin sister (twice the gorgeousness) and it was so fun for me to see how close they are. Having twins myself makes me so excited to see “grown up” twins!

The handsome groom

And his men

How fabulous do these ladies look?

Once again… love the flowers!

The ceremony was gorgeous in the garden at Verandas

After the ceremony we walked around for a few minutes to get some couples portraits in Manhattan Beach

The reception details… doesn’t that cake look amazingly tasty?

Laura’s sister gave such a sweet and heartfelt toast

They played a slideshow during the reception of photos of Laura and Ezequiel growing up. Not sure what this one was of but Laura sure thought it was funny

Yum!!

And one last set… this had to have been one of the most amazingly talented group of dancing wedding guests I’ve ever seen. Seriously. They had a band and the whole crowd was on the floor all night… sweet!

Laura and Ezequiel I had an amazing time at your wedding. Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your special day! I hope you have a fabulous time on your Hawaiian honeymoon! Thanks to David too for coming along and helping me out

Laura and Ezequiel had a gorgeous wedding on a fabulous Saturday afternoon at Verandas in Manhattan Beach. Lots of beautiful images to come but for now one little sneak peek….

Rocio and Rob are such a sweet couple and so much fun to hang out with!! They wanted to do a beach engagement session and I wanted to try out a new location so we decided to meet in Manhattan Beach. I love that it’s smaller, cozier and less crowded than Santa Monica, plus we had a gorgeous day for hitting the beach! Rocio and Rob warmed up right away to the camera and we had so much fun wandering around the beach and the pier. Here are just a few of my favorites from their session

I just love the underside of piers… call me crazy but there’s something so fabulous about a gorgeous couple in the midst of all of the columns with the light streaming in… I just can’t get enough

The beach around the pier has so many fun patterned and colorful walls to shoot in front of… I definitely want to go back again!

After wandering the beach we headed back up to the cute little “downtown” area and had a quick outfit change for the rest of the session. I love this series… Rocio’s shirt was so cute and I love them against this pink wall!

This is a definite favorite

You know I love a couple in converse sneakers!

Rocio and Rob thank you so much for making the trip down to Manhattan Beach for your engagement session! You two were such a blast to hang out with and I had so much fun going through all of your photos… I can’t wait to show you the rest Take care and have a wonderful time at your wedding… you two are the best!
