It just wasn't that Colin was nice, funny, and smart, it's that everyone loved him. He was a standout in the law firm's associate program and though it likely wasn't proper, the lawyers compared the other associates to Colin behind closed doors. He was the guy who made people smile when they talked about him, but he also happened to catch the eye of one of the firm's shining stars, Lesley.

For being pretty, smart, and inordinately organized, Lesley is laid-back and relaxed. She's the type of girl who'll plan a perfect wedding and then let the day take its natural course. Her mother tied a red bracelet on her wrist and pinned a charm into the wedding dress for good luck, but Lesley and Colin made such a great couple, they didn't need luck. Goodness was already on their side.

On a gorgeous day in La Jolla, California, they wed at La Estancia Resort surrounded by their friends and family, many of them who bore witness to the love that grew in the hallways of a law firm a few years ago. Together Colin and Lesley started a new life in the company of those who love them the most.

Lesley and Colin…tapas, sangria, and paella…oh my! I hope you're enjoying every last second of Barcelona, Spain! Thank you for allowing us the honor of sharing a beautiful day. Your friends and family were amazing and we felt welcomed like we were part of the crew…we can't thank you enough for being so darn amazing. Really. Much Love and Appreciation… j*

Lesley wore a beautiful Oscar DeLaRenta wedding dress accompanied with a paid of blue Kate Spade wedding shoes…a perfect pair if I say so myself.

La Estancia Resort is a stunning backdrop for wedding photos…here Colin is making his Paul Smith suit look extra dapper.

I was incredibly excited to hear the couple opted to see each other before the ceremony for a First Look…not only did this provide extra time for wedding photos around La Estancia Resort, they were able to relax and enjoy cocktail hour with their guests…just look at Colin's reaction to seeing his bride…priceless.

Every nook and cranny of La Estancia Resort is picturesque and we had a blast working with the bridal party…all the bridesmaids were lawyers, so they were on-time, ready, and some of the sassiest girls I've worked with. LOVED it.

Lesley, you're stunning. Really.

Colin, hey, you clean up pretty well too! 😉

I have to include a picture of my most favorite flower girl ever, Nala. When I first met with Lesley and Colin, we bonded over our love for dogs and compared walking trails in the neighborhood. When I discovered Nala was the flower girl–aka the Dog Of Honor–I was delighted!

Both Colin and Lesley had the most delightful families…everyone shared a beautiful bond of love and it was easy to photograph their joy.

Colin was more than excited to see his bride walk down the aisle…

…and as they walked up the aisle together as man and wife, they surprised their guests with a bagpiper!

Many thanks to Kerrie Underhill Platinum Weddings by Kerrie for orchestrating a perfect day. I love working together because I know the wedding will be seamless and perfectly perfect…Colin and Lesley's wedding was no exception. Love her.
