Mikaela and Christian's Wedding

Here are some highlights from Mikaela and Christian's beautiful wedding. Mikaela's family traveled all the way from Zimbabwe to be here. It was so great to meet them and to work with Christian's family. Everyone was so much fun as you will see in the portraits... They were a blast! Enjoy!

Mikaela was such a beautiful bride, she was a natural in front of the camera...







Christian's mom organized the fabulous reception at their home...
They had amazing food representing both the bride and groom, Zimbabwean, French, Mexican, and Japanese...
And the biggest sweet dreams table I have seen...
Mikaela's mom brought this Zimbabwean Fruit Cake all the way from Zimbabwe... Amazing!

I loved this dance performance by the groom and his friends... Hilarious!
The Zimbabwean Farewell...

Congratulations Mikaela and Christian and their families on an amazing day!

Brittany and Nate's Wedding..

Another Beautiful wedding coordinated by Kathy Jo Peterson. The colors of the wedding were so fun and Brittany and Nate were such a great couple to shoot. We got gorgeous portraits at the Newport Beach Temple, and then headed over to the Fun Zone for some more. Brittany and Nate's families were so great to work with, it was truly an amazing day!





Something blue...







I love this image. Brittany and Nate got alot of attention in Balboa. People were so excited for them. There were alot more pics of people cheering them on as they rode their bikes past, but this was one of my favs...


One of the coolest things of the reception was The Fry Girl, frying up donuts for all the guests. She was a hit!


This cake was pretty amazing too! One of my favorite cakes so far. Love the cake stand!
And these little guys really stole the show on the dance floor... They were so good!
Check out his facial expressions... So funny!
They also had a sweet photo booth they used so guests could post pictures and write messages in their guestbook.


The cameras were going all night...

Thanks for letting me be apart of such an amazing day! Congratulations Brittany and Nate!
