Alicia + Joey: full of life, character, and color! I already expected their wedding to be just this after the few hours we spent with them while shooting their engagement session. August 21st was an awesome day for a wedding, and it just so happened that it was the only day in the middle of the summer that it rained in San Diego. The old saying of "rain means good luck on your wedding day" must be true because Alicia + Joey are two of a kind!ajblog001.jpgajblog002.jpgajblog003.jpgajblog004.jpgMy favorite shot of the day!

You saw their engagement session, now experience the wedding of Danah + Ahmad. The lovely couple was married on August 15th at The Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. If we had only two words to describe this wedding it would be "simply classic". With white as their only wedding color, Danah's simple white dress, and Ahmad's classic black suit, it was truly a breath of fresh air. Danah's dress will definitely go down as one of the top ten wedding dresses we've ever laid eyes on, and Ahmad's black suit was bold and timeless!

adwed020.jpgadwed021.jpgThe reception, again, was simply classic. There was white flowers and white linen everywhere. Only Danah + Ahmad's closest friends and family were in attendance. 
adwed022.jpgadwed023.jpgMy favorite "detail" of the day (well, I feel bad calling a person a detail, but this person really added to the overall mood of the day), the wedding singer! He was an amazing vocalist that sounded just like Nat King Cole and did a great impersonation of Louis Armstrong.

As with all of our clients, we feel super blessed to have been a part of such an amazing experience and moment in time. Congratulations to Danah + Ahmad! Click here for their online slideshow!

*A quick thank you to Kary H. Events for beautifully organizing Danah + Ahmad's wedding day!

They say you're the best in the industry for a reason.. these images are the reason. I genuinely never stop being amazed and awed by the art that you produce. If I ever get married, I hope you'll be there.
