San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Wedding, Shelby + Perry
 

San Miguel de Allende in Mexico has a very very special space in my heart. That’s where Brett and I first met working together and where we have traveled to the most, so whenever there’s an opportunity given to me to go back there, I’m certainly SUPER delighted to do so. This time, it was for Shelby and Perry’s wedding.

Beautifully planned and decorated by Penzi Weddings, and assisted by a wonderful photographer Daniel Aguilar, their wedding held at the iconic Rosewood San Miguel de Allende.

Shelby is a teacher while Perry works in finance; she attracts people with her kindness and excellent leadership while Perry is calm, “corky” (according to a wedding guest) and smart and will do just about everything Shelby wants. They love traveling and have seen a lot of the world. She’s born and raised in Midland, TX, and Perry was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. They believe unique cultures are what makes the world go around, and they truly love celebrating everything about life. <3

 
Samesex Wedding in Hancock Park, Los Angeles Wedding - David + Adam
 

David and Adam’s love story is so beautiful and pure to me.

Adam, a lawyer, had never wanted to get married.
Life works mysteriously as there I was, photographing his wedding with David, a wonderful teacher.
They’re a couple who care and worry about others. You’re immediately accepted, too, and if you know someone like them in your life, you’re just so lucky. There was so much love and fun at this wedding in Hancock Park, where Adam once used to live, and was officiated by their two beloved judge friends.

Oh, their wedding rings, by the way, were bought on Amazon.com, and they wear the same ring sizes, so during the wedding ceremony, they simply exchanged each other’s ring that they had been wearing as engagement rings. This was super adorable to me.

 
Los Angeles Wedding, St. Bede the Venerable Church wedding, Odyssey Restaurant wedding - Alessandra and Carlos
 

Alessandra and Carlos originally met in high school as ushers at the Hollywood Bowl. Carols would claim they met the first year they started working there, but Alessandra doesn’t remember meeting him until she was about to go into her first year of college. hehe. They were friends for two years before things got serious. They’re such a fun and relaxed couple, surrounded by wonderful and loving family and friends, and had been in a long distance relationship before marriage while he attended a law school. (SF-LA)

One of the things that touched me the most was how caring Alessandra was; especially when I witnessed her explaining what kind of wedding dress and jewelry she was wearing on her wedding day to her blind grandmother.

Their wedding was at St. Bede the Venerable Church in La Cañada Flintridge, and the reception was at Odyssey Restaurant & Events in Granada Hills.
