I say it again and again…but it's still true, no matter how many times I say it. My clients are truly amazing people. Every time I leave a wedding, I feel like one of the luckiest photographers. I am blessed to witness love, devotion, and forever throughout the year and the people who I document make me fall more in love. With life, with everything.
Victoria and Brian are such people. I blogged last week about their wedding getting published in Bride and Bloom Magazine, but I decided to dedicate a personal blog post because I wasn't able to do so after their wedding, due to publicity considerations. I've pulled a few of my favorites for this post, and included a slideshow at the end. The wedding was held at Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verde over Independence weekend last year and it was nothing short of amazing.
Vee and Brian, thank you for inviting me into your lives, and into your love story. I was honored to be a part of your day and it has been exciting to watch your lives grow stronger together. Congrats on your new son and I know wherever the present leads, the future is extraordinarily beautiful for you both. Much love and appreciation… j*
The day started with a little love for Vee's Priscilla of Boston wedding gown and uber fab Christian Louboutin's…
The amazing Carissa of JL Designs and Events was on hand for all the floral and design…love her!
Victoria and her ladies in waiting…rawr…
Victoria made a stunning bride…
The bling…
The sunset quite fast, and a sea haze settled over the sky at Trump National Golf Course, but we made best of the light on their wedding day…and they were so in love they didn't even notice! 😉
Carissa did an amazing job making over the Trump National ballroom for the wedding reception…her work always blows me away…
Cathy and Susan of Bella Weddings worked with their tirelessly worked with their team to ensure a perfect wedding day and all their work paid off…
The First Dance…
The Lakers' Luke Walton served as best man and–if I was being totally honest–I almost died when I saw him. On a scale from zero to stupid, I ranked 13. I'm not ever starstruck, but put me in a room with my favorite basketball players and I get all Jonas Brothered. Ewww, I know. Either way, during the wedding slideshow, pictures of Luke, Brian, and Jordan Farmar during their time together with the Lakers were displayed and here's Luke's reaction….
…better yet…here's Victoria's reaction to her maid of honor giving props to USC, her alma mater…
Victoria surprised Brian with a groom's cake and asked all his basketball buddies to help with the honors…
…but they took matters into their own hands…
The end to a perfect night…
Again, thanks to Cathy and Susan of Bella Weddings and Carissa of JL Designs and Events for making this day come together so well for such a wonderful couple…
