Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel Wedding : Tami+Amit

His family flew from Israel, descending on a corner of Orange County, California Tami and her family call home. Laughter, music, and the sounds of bare feet padding against the thick carpet floated through the halls of the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel as Tami prepared for her wedding day. Before seeing his future wife, Amit practiced his First Dance with his shadow, while waiting for the moment he dressed in his tux. A bow tie, shiny shoes, and a tux were basic requirements to a flawless first dance and he was excited to show off his new moves.

When Tami and Amit embraced for the first time on their wedding day, their smiles were so bright the challenged the midday sun. Together they hugged family members, signed the Ketubah, received blessings during the Bedeken, and later walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Their day was nothing short of perfection, which was simply a reflection of their love…for each other and those around them.

Tami and Amit, I appreciate the honor of documenting your wedding and it was a blast being adopted for a day by your families…and, yes, I think a part of my heart is Jewish! The festivities, the joy, and the FUN was what made your day a memorable experience and I couldn't think of a better way to start your lives together. Much Love and Appreciation… j*

The skies were stunningly blue along the Pacific ocean, the day provided amazing weather, and the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel was a perfect wedding day backdrop…

While Tami slipped into her wedding dress, her mom's hands were shaking so fiercely she asked Tami's sister to help manage the buttons…it was so sweet…

…moments later Tami's mom enjoyed the final look!

Tami and Amit opted to see each other before the ceremony which provided plenty of time for wedding photos and a relaxed environment for picture taking!

We escaped the heat for a bit and roamed the halls of the Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel

Many thanks to the Sterling Social wedding coordination team, Erin, Angela, and their entire team worked tirelessly to ensure the ceremony went off without a hitch…

Amit was more than excited to be Tami's husband…

In Jewish tradition, the bride walks around her groom seven times…and they never stopped smiling…

After the ceremony, we roamed along the resort to document their love…

As guests enjoyed an exciting cocktail hour, the Sterling Social team transformed the The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel ballroom for the reception. Many thanks to Square Root Designs for such pretty florals!

By the time the First Dance rolled around, Amit was more than ready to show his smooth moves…

…but during the Hora, Amit wasn't the only person wanting to show their dance skills!

The night was filled with endless cheers, toasts, and merriment…
