i met her in her hotel room.
she is from the the east coast but her husband and i grew up together.
while in their ceremony, i didn't realize her cell phone was on vibrate and i was holding her purse, so everyone looked at me right when they were agreeing to time and all eternity. i felt like the biggest jerk of wedding history. red cheeks and all.
we did a easy-breezy look for her breakfast before the wedding and then put it in a classical vintage french-under twist under her veil. she was so elegant and gorgeous. she normally doesn't wear any makeup so it was fun to put makeup on her.

her hair we called it, "sexy loose, wavy curls and makeup the same..."
i was at her house early in the morning, there at the ceremony in newport beach, then at her luncheon at the j.w.marriott in laguna and then to her reception.
such a beautiful and fun bride to work with. i don't remember her not smiling.

she wanted something different.
these were her bridal shots so the wedding day, i added a little flair.
such a gorgeous bride to work with - and my sister so that was even better...
