I am unbelievably behind on blogging. Being busy is good, right??? So let me start catching up with this beautiful outdoor wedding from a few weeks back.





























Knowing Whitney since she was seven years old and seeing her get married was an amazing moment. It was such a joyful coming together of two people that are so in love, and feel like best friends as well, that I cried more then my usual, self-alloted amount.
The wedding was held at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens, a gorgeous hidden gem for outdoor weddings. I loved the vibrant color palette and the great job Luz Pencyla, the planner, did with the flowers and decor.
When Whitney's mom Maria, my go to hair/make-up artist, did Whitney's makeup, the poor girl couldn't look at her mom without tearing up. Like I said, a very emotional day.






Whitney and Rick wrote notes to each other and sealed them in this box with wine, not to be opened until their first anniversary. Love this idea!




Whitney had both her grandfathers walk her down the isle...


Many moments in the ceremony were surrounded with laughter, mostly Whitney's!
