it’s the way he looks at her, like he is seeing her for the first time each time their eyes meet. it’s the way she smiles when he holds her close, like she is the safest in his arms. it’s the way everyone who knows them wants to be around them because they are so magnetizingly serene and sincere.

together they are delightfully refreshing like crisp, chilled watermelon and thirst-quenching, ambrosial tangerines.

i had been looking forward to david and laura’s wedding for a long time, mostly because I just wanted to spend some time with them. they are geniunly good people who are lucky to have found each other and true love in this life. i am so happy for them, and was elated for the opportunity to be a part of their day. 

everyone knows i love a good surprise. my original plan was to have this post ready for them last night as a “SURPRISE! welcome home from your honeymoon mr. and mrs….”, i feel a little bummed that i missed the deadline, but this is what i think…pictures of your wedding day will be a welcomed surprise whenever they come. am i right? or am i right?

my second shooters whitney and becca (thanks so much for being there ladies. you were kind of like my bride’s maids…kind of. in a way. metaphorically.) and i met up with laura and her girls for some pre-show photographs. her mom, sisters, and best-gals were as welcoming and as loving as laura. we felt as if we were a part of the bridal party too, laughing and enjoying the anticipation of  the days delicious slices.

a few details:

laura and david were married in a private ceremony in the lds newport beach temple. we met up with them right after to celebrate together.

their wedding party was to die for!!  they were seriously so much fun, full of laughs, and jokes, and love for laura and david. they were, for lack of a better word, rad. (that’s right, i’m trying to bring rad back.)

i think they should rent themselves out to other weddings.

i loved the crisp colors.

david and laura had a ring ceremony as well, so those who weren’t able to be to their sealing could still have a part in their wedding.
