Darlene + Jerrold Married!

First off, Darlene + Jerrold were such a sweet couple to work with for their engagement session, and after getting to know them, it made their wedding day feel like a breeze! They were married on May 23rd in Laguna Niguel and had a BEAUTIFUL reception that followed at The Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach.

While Justin made his way to the Hyatt Regency I met up with Darlene at her parents' house for some prep shots. The first two things I got to capture were her AMAZING designer Christian Louboutin shoes with the signature red sole and an even more AMAZING designer Monique Lhuillier wedding dress!

I was happy that Darlene had Nicole DeAnne out to work her artistry on Darlene's hair!

I love your style. You have a great level of consistency across all of your photographs. My favorite is the bride with the Bulldog as it really shows a side of her personality as an animal lover.

Any chance you know where she bought the Christian Louboutin's? I cannot find them on the website nor anywhere else.

Darlene said:
Hi Connie! I bought my shoes from the Christian Louboutin boutique in Beverly Hills. I haven't seen them in the stores since but you could try to go and see if you could special order them. Good luck!
