Jessica and David's wedding was one of the most laid back, easy going, happy weddings I've ever seen. Everyone was just ready to have a great time, dance, a visit... I LOVED it!

Jessica's sister is amazing with hair...but she lives all the way in Reno. Sad face!!!

Pretty light for a pretty lady...

One of the great things about The French Estate is that everything happens in one place... which means my team and I don't have to split up to get photos of everyone getting ready :) Yay!

Matthew and Megan came all the way from Ireland to get married in sunny California where Megan grew up... and even though the sun hid behind clouds most of the day it was a gorgeous celebration :) Here are a few of my favorite photos of the day... happy Wednesday! 

Megan's dress was just amazing... I loved the bottom of it!

Robert Liberman says:

Everyone sees your pictures and compliments the photographer (deservedly) or how lovely, beautiful and cute you both are. What II see are two young people falling in love over and over again with the same person in each picture. A couple of the photos show another truth---with the two of you hugging, there is a suggestion of both losing your balance and tipping over; literally heads over heels in love. Every day, when you say goodbye or hello to each other, give a hug and the glow will last forever. Dad/Bob
