I couldn’t attend the wedding itself (mommy duties), but I heard it was magnificent with a horse-drawn carriage, doves, singing by the groom, and beautiful overcast skies.  Most brides may not agree, but photographers will, overcast skies are perfect for an outdoor wedding.  I was able to make it in time for cocktail hour and the reception. Here are my photographs.  Enjoy!

Location, location, location!  Chris and Laura, you nailed it here at the St. Regis Moncarch Beach Resort.

Great friends

Great music

Dr. Pepper toasts! I thought this was such a neat idea.

Thank-yous

The happy couple.

Delectable food!

I love the cake topper that symbolized Chris’s proposal to Laura at Disneyland.  The story made me cry.  A true princess fairytale.

Not only did they serve us amazing wedding cake, but they served this delicious chocolate lava cake too.  Melty, warm chocolate poured out of it when you cut into it.  Thank you St. Regis for this taste-bud treat!  I will have dreams about its sweetness for many moons.

Every little detail was perfect.

I love these two!  Friends and also the officiating pastor.  He married us too!

Heading {home}.  Had a BLAST!  Thanks again Chris and Laura.  And thank you Grandpa Paul and Grandma Sharon for joining us on our West Coast adventure and watching the boys so we could enjoy an adult night out.  Much appreciated.

Up soon will be our Disneyland photos!
